There are plenty of good Summit Stands. Their the #1 stand for a good reason, very quite, comfortable, and safe. They have the goliath for bigger people, backpacker for one that folds flat, and the viper. You can get them with or without a front bar. I can sit in it all day without getting uncomfortable.

By far the best I have ever been on is BUCK SHOT Tree stand Absolutely the best. You can face away from the tree or facing the tree which is my favorite way to sit. Most comfortable to me and best safest out there to me. I love it.
They have many different brands and you would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't look them up and take a look.
Good luck

I currently use a Summit Revolution as my primary stand. However they no long produce it. The closest current model is the Python if memory serves me. If I were to suggest one to someone it would be their latest version of the Viper model. Definitely worth the price.

i use the summit viper x4. i really like it. like others said about the buckshots, with the summit you can face towards or away from the tree. it's also very light and easy to climb. very comfortable too.

i second the buck shot.....it is by far the safest climber out there....it is a little heavier than most but it doesn't use cables...it has a solid metal arm with teeth on both sides so u can hunt....i can jump up and down in that thing and have it not even budge....safety rail that goes all the way around too gives u more of a comfortable feel too.....def look into them
