I stated in another thread this morning that I invested in a LW hand climber stand last year, and it is by far one of the best purchases I have made in 26+ years of bow hunting. Most of the reasons that I like it have already been mentioned by other LW fans on this thread, so I'm not going to beat a dead horse! But the simplicity of the traction belt/cam lock system to get it around the tree is sweet. I purchased the extra long traction belts (optional) for mine and it allows me to use it on trees 3 to 4 inches diameter bigger than the stock belts that came with it. Comfort has not been a problem for me on my LW climber.

I never would have imagined that I could climb a tree so quietly. Great design...Great stand!
