Summit is the ultimate. No question... I love my Summit Viper X4. It is rugged, lightweight, quiet, and comfortable. So comfortable, I have, er, uh, um, caught myself dozing off to sleep a few times! ;)

I use a Summit Viper. It's quiet, weighs 20 lbs, and i feel really secure in stand

X5, Goliath for me!!!

Summit all the way, i use the viper xl..and i will tell you i wont change. And another reason to buy a summit is that they are a great company, i had a small seat problem once and called them, and in about 3 days i had a brand new seat at my door. You cant ask for better service than that...

i've had both summit and lone wolf for me it is lone wolf hands down. eaiser to climb, quieter, lighter but now quite as comfortable. just my opinion.

I have an older summit viper, and its comphy but I dont like having to fool with the strap that goes around the tree to secure the top part of the stand so it doesnt fall, its a noisey strap. Then I dont like the foot sturrup bungee straps ( I think they fixed that allready) .

I have an Ole Man Grand Vision. I love it. Its comfortable and the platform is big enough that I have some wiggle room. I just wouldnt have any other stand. Ive owned 2 of them (1st one got stolen).

I have a Summit and like it. Lone Wolf is probably a better quality stand, but you get what you pay for. Do you want to spend $250 on an awesome stand (Summit) or do you have $350 for a lighter probably even better made stand that probably isn't quite as comfortable?

Lone Wolf - I'm totally loyal to that company. Their suff packs in easily - doesn't gut hung up in brush and green briar, etc. I have the sit and climb and the hang on. The hang on/climbing sticks get you up in maples/cherries- anything you can imagine.-A little more work, butmorethan rewards with a lot more options for getting your setup just right. Only drawback of hunting out of the sit and climb is that the armrestmay obstruct you in certain situations.

Check out the LONE WOLF! Its an excellant stand.

Summit.

Summit Viper SS. It's the most comfortable stand I've ever used. To me, aside from being sturdy, comfort is as important as anything.

Summit Viper, 2nd year using it. I feel very safe in it.

i wanna give a shout out to GORILLA. i have the gorilla greyback magnum climber and its awesome. its comfy and roomy and has a flip around shooting rail/foot rest and its completly camo. its quite and light and packs well and it has collapsable arms that adjust to the tree to stabilize it well and it was like $150 including shipping from sportsmans guide. check it out. the only thing it doesnt have is a backrest but that is not to hard to fix. the seat is surprisingly comfortable with the hamock net deal. its good.

Lone Wolf climbers. Nothing compares. Don't waste your time or your money on any other stand.
