personally, go with the summit. Bought a lone wolf sit and climb on Friday and after trying it out, took it back on Sunday. I don't understand all the hype of the LW. What a POS!

Uncomfortable, difficult to climb in, not secure in the tree very wobbly, the most dangerous stand I have ever been in. I don't get all this hype at all. What a piece of junk!

some put summit seat on LW .i heard lw cables catch on rough bark while climbing.
my friend said his was wobbly on the edge .
they are best at packing in from what i heard.

but for price under 300tyd i can get best summit stand.lw are very expensive.

I have the summit viper and love it. One thing I did to it is, I added camo neoprene tape to every surface that could possibly get make noise from branches. I used an aftermarket tape and it still is like new after 3 years. I like the comfort of the summit stand but have no experience with the Lone Wolf stands. You might want to check out the equalizer stands http://www.buckshot-stands.com/ . I have never used one and don't know anyone who has, but they do look interesting.

you can always flip three, one hundred dollar bills, to decide. Besides, you'll be parting with them soon.

Kidding, but not really.

i have never been in a lw but have tried summits bigger stand. i have been using api grand slam magnum for at least 20 years and replace heat swrink yearly. i hunt everyday in a 8 week season. more room more stable and climbs a much bigger tree than a summit. the swrink wrap has changed and last a lot longer now. i am 6'3 285 and can dance in the api.i think it weighs 23 lbs

I use the Millenium chain on stand that you attach the bracket to the tree and slide the stand in the bracket, it is rock solid and one of the most comfortable and lightest stand I have ever used, but not a climber. I didn't know they made a climber like this, I will definately check it out, they are well made products and quiet.
