I must agree with DougE for the most part. This will be my 3rd season using the Lone Wolf Sit-n-Climb. I added a seat pad to the strap on seat and I am very comfortable while on stand.

As Doug said, the Lone Wolf climbing stands are exceptionally quiet, the traction belts are strong, durable and really grips the tree. The cam lock system is a snap to use and much quieter than placing a cable into "tubes". The platform is very strong and also provides good traction by design.
