Yes these are the best I have used and I test products all the time. Many different styles and seat heights. These are the best barring none. I like the ghost for short hunts or when I'm scout hunting the same day. This stand weights in at 8 Lbs. perfect for packing in with a dozen or so steps in the pack. There loc-on system is perfect for the hunter who hunts multiple locations with just one stand. For the average guy or the profestional hunter they can't be beat.
