Default treesuit or treesling ?

Anyone out there use one of these and what do you have to say about them ? I am thinking about purchasing one or the other.

I like the idea of them but can't see fit to spend the money they want for one. Espically with the climbing platform. If you get one please let me know what you think.

I have the treesuit and I like it a lot. Lightweight and extremely portable. Very comfortable to hunt from also. I did get the climber with it also and it works well. It does take some practice to get used to it, but once you do you can climbe up and down trees fairly quickly. The only thing I do not like about it is it is a bit akward to carry around. I just use a couple of bungee cords to bundle it up and tuck it under my arm and go. The climber I put in my pack with my other gear.

Bullcan , I am not sure what you mean that it is bulky ? It shows on the video that you wear it around your waste to the stand , it eliminates a safety belt because it is a self contained safety system . What am I missing . I have no use for the climber as any tree that the climber would work on , I would use my lone wolf climber .

Adams , I will report my experience with it . The treesuit is a mere $100 compared to the treesaddle at $200 .

Thanks for the responses . I found some threads on this on Archery talk site that had good info .

You are right that they show it in the video on how to wear it, but from my experience it does not work well. When I have tried to wear it, it seems to slip off of me and not stay in place. I have found that it is much quicker to just wrap it up and use a couple bungee cords and carry it. Just my preference. This is the only negative I have to say about the tree suit, and it is not that bad of a negative. I am glad that I got the tree suit and would recommend it to anyone. It is the only stand I hunt out of now.

I have a tree saddle.I bought it last year it is there new ultra light model.It is very well made but I havn't used it yet.I kind of anticipated using it in spots that were way back in.Where I wouldn't want to carry a stand to.Time will tell as to whether how much I will put it to use.
