I've used API's, Lone Wolf, Baker's, and Summits in the past. They all have their ups and downs but the Summit line is the best for me. Lone Wolf is second....mainly because the stands are just too small and uncomfortable for extended hunts. I really think if Lone Wolf made, for example, a Sit & Climb "XL" for us larger hunters they would have a real winner. Try out several and pick the one you like best.
