The thing that gets me about the lone wolf is that they are so damn expensive and uncomfortable as can be. Just look at the seat on those things. I'm more than willing to sacrifice a little weight for comfort. What good is it to get to a spot and then not be able to sit still because of comfort issues. The front bar on the lone wolf sit and climb is pretty spindly as well, where as the Summit is just as big as the rest of the tubing. I'm figuring this is where a big weight reduction is made. I run a Goliath, which is their heaviest stand, plus I have 2 side bags and a front bag on it, with all my stuff in it, so I would say my stand all together weights +-35 pounds. Seems like a ton, but once on, not a major deal, since with the side bags you can eliminate the need for a pack with the bags. I sound like I'm advertising for Summit, but if you are have the money to spend on a top-notch stand, you can't go wrong with the Summit, plus, like I said earlier, have money left over for something else. The Lone Wolf sit and climb is $360.00, a full $100.00 more than the Summit, with no added features. Again, its completely up to you what you want to hunt out of, and good luck in your choice!
