I've been looking at them myself so I talked to the owner of a local shop who has killed alot of big bucks and asked him what he thought of them. He said he owns one and used it exclusively one season when he got two stands stolen from his property. Like alot of things, he said it had it's pros and cons. Quick to set up and rock steady buthe said it would be more comfortable for a smaller guy, but he got along with it ok and he's what I'd call small.

He said they're invaluable for hanging stands, in fact that's what he mainly uses it for now. Personally I think it's a little pricey if that's it's best attribute, but hey, it's an added benefit I guess.

Most of the people I've talked to that don't like them haven't tried them b/c they do seem odd to hunt out of. But those that have them seem to like them alot.
