If you are new to climbing you might be best served with a climber with the wraparound bar.........that way you can " Sit down Stand Up" style of climbing which is very easy and safe. Climber stands are probably some of the safest as they easily allow you to connect your safety harness/rope at the bottom and as you climb you just slide it along as you go. With each move you make up the tree,when you lock your platform down your hands are free to move your safety rope ahead of you.

I' ve played with the Lone Wolfs and own Summit. The Lone Wolf' s are nice.....they are very light, not confortable with the platform seat, and the platform itself flexes(at least under my weight) I just didn' t feel safe with one.

Honestly the Summit climbers are the ONLY stands I' ve ever used that make me almost totally at ease being 22ft up a tree. Rock solid....a tad heavy depending upon model, but they aren' t going to shift, flex or do anything when you are up there. With my " Goliath XLS" I feel Like I' m standing on my living room floor. I' m tall so the bar in front is of little concern for bowhunting....I just set it a little lower than I would for rifle hunting. The braided steel cables are rated to over 8,000lbs and they can' t bind or pinch, and there are no links to worry about like the API chain stands........API' s are a nice stand I just could never get past those links.

I added a thermal mat on the platform,a footrest, and a front gear bag and it ends up like sitting in a Lazy Boy. These stands are so comfortable that you just sort of melt into the seats.
I would highly recommend any of the cable style climbers from Summit.

Models to check if you want a front bar would be the Viper XLS, Goliath XLS
Without the bar, the most comfy stand is the Cobra XLS, and the Bushmaster is pretty comfy but without the sling style seat so its not AS comfortable as the others......but its a nice economical choice and a good one for bowhunting.
Summit also has the new " Bullet" stand which is a climber with a fold down design so that it packs flat on your back.....

I' d say play with a bunch if you can, but I' d be willing to bet you find your way out the door with a Summit.
