Default Climber...anyone heard of it?

Anyone seen or used one of these? The price is almost too good to be true! 100% guarantee!

Ive never heard of that brand.....but dang thats quite a price for a pretty nice looking climber

In fact, it does almost sound too good to be true.....Id be kind of wary. But thats just how my brain works...I think, the more you pay, the better it will be...even though I know thats not always true

Seems kind of heavy at 28 lbs. I believe I'll stick with summit climbers.

The one major drawback is that is weighs 28lbs, might not be good for longer walk ins.

[ul][*]Ample 10 x 17" sling seat with 2"-thick foam provides topnotch rump comfort. 20 x 13" padded backrest. Padded armrests and padded climbing seat bar[*]Big 20 x 28" foot platform provides plenty of room for stowing gear and taking standing shots[*]Welded steel frame supports a lumberjack-friendly 300 lbs.[*]Adjustable nylon foot straps for quick and easy climbing[*]Locking buckle straps provide secure connection between seat and foot platform[*]Seat section and foot platform nest together for easy travel[*]Weighs 28 lbs.[/ul]
It's made out of steel. and weighs 28 lbs. Thats why its $70
If your not going to move it around a lot it would be alright.

Thanks for the link. I may pick one up at that price. I don't do any long hike ins, and well...I'm not old like many of you, so the weight is a non-issue[8D]

I've drug a lot of big bucks out all by myself. So what the he11, I might as well lug around an anchor.

I've bought several items from Sportsmans Guide and you can't beat their prices!I believe they sell in large volumes and items that are either discontinued or model change items?I messed up last year on buying a 2-man ladder stand for around $75.00 that was almost twice that price in a local store! [:@]


I've noticed that they are starting to sell more newer hunting products,and if you join their Buyers Guide Club you save an additional 10% which will pay for itself after 1 or 2 purchases!
