Back band essential?

I think it is abolutely essential. I put it on every sit no matter how long I'll be in the tree. However, there are many people who don't use it at all, I just can't get comfortable without it.
I'm a newbie, I just ordered it with my system. Not a huge investment if I use it or not. I just thought it makes sense to make it more comfortable for long sits. My concern is, will it be in the way when I need to shoot my bow?
I ordered it thinking that if I ever needed extra comfort, I'd have it. That being said, I have never used it so no, it is not essential and I have one less thing to mess with.
I spent probably close to 150 hours in the saddle so far this year and don't use one, so certainly not essential. I did try one on for comfort and it helps but wasn't worth the fiddle factor for me. But I mostly lean and when I sit to rest I can lean forward. I could see them being essential for ring of steps hangers.
