RE: Lone Wolf Sit and Climb while bowhunting?
You can get the new seat directly from LW.
Why is the LW better than the summit?That's easy.It used to be the only thing the Summit had over the LW was comfort.They no longer have that advantage.I'm not saying the Summit is a bad stand but this is why the LW is better.First,there is absolutely no comparison as far as quitness goes.The LW is much quieter setting up,climbing and shifting your weight around in.The attchement sytem is much easier and more adjustable with the LW.The summit can be noisy snaking the cable through the tube in the stand and it only adjusts in 3 inch increments.In short,it's noisier and harder to get the right angle on the tree.I also don't like the way the seat on the Summit doesn't slide back when you stand to shoot.Last ,the LW is much more packable and less bulky to carry through the brush.
Both stands climb easily.Both are stable and now both are very comfortable.The lone wolf wins every other category hands down.
