X-Stand Treestands; anything lighter in a climber
 

http://www.x-stand.com/X-1_Treestand.php Any of you guys using these? Only 11 pds.I don't think there is a lighter climber. Give me your input; ever heard or used one?

Two piece can't beat 1 piece. Only the Loggy for me!

Seems small to me, too small. Guys feet are hanging over and the seat doesn't look like it would fold up. Looks like it may flip up and fall onto the base.It could have a place though in the right situation, like maybe having only a hour too hunt after work, not an all day stand. The price is way too high for that stand, nothing to it. I don't think there's a lighter one. Didn't see the load limit?

Lighter isnt always better either.

That is an awfully small seat and platform. I'd take an extra pound or two for a couple inches here and there.

Looks like a great backpacker though for hunting public land somewhere.

Interesting concept with the "arms", but that cable looks sort of thin?

I too think it may be a bit on the small side. I'm 6'2" and weigh 200lbs. I don't think I could stay comfy for long in that stand. I'm big enough to pack in the extra weight of a bigger stand.

Looks flimsy to me , I couldn't trust it , especially those skinny cables .

Don't believe they are TMA approved.

Check out Lone Wolf Hand Climber. 14 lbs, Silent Packing and set-up, and still has a full 350 lb. TMA approved weight rating!
