I'm debating on whether or not to get one of these. I have a Summit Viper right now, but it gets cumbersome packing it to a stand that is a mile away. I want a stand that is more compact when carrying it, but I don't want to sacrifice the comfort of the viper. How is the sit and climb for an all day hunt?

If comfort is your concern, stay with the viper.

comfort isnt the best w/ this stand..

functionality is awesome!

I bought a cheapo seat pad to carry in w/ the stand to aid in comfort on long hunts, but its do-able if you stand now and then.

All day? The name you need to know is ... Summit.

Hold on there boys, LOL

He is looking at the sit 'n' climb.

If you are not a big guy is very comfy I can sit in mine all day. I have used the viper. The LoneWolf is lighter and way easier to pack in. As for climbing I find both to be about the same.

LoneWolf is the best stand IMO for serious hunting and packing it way back in to the woods. The summit will get the job done also.

I've found the thin seat material is the most uncomfortable part, the 1" straps start to eat at you...

You need some meat on that arse ED

Quit checkin out my arse germ...

And for the record, Im not your type.[8D]

I had one and sold it after only 3 hunts...simply the most uncomfortable stand I've ever been in. I am 6' and 182, so far from a big guy. If you are going to sit all day, then I don't think you can get away from the weight. I use an Equalizer for morning and afternoon hunts. Sitting all day long...Summit Goliath...cccoooommmmffffyyy.

From the looks of it, the hand climber seat is the same as the Alpha seat and the longest I've lasted on that stand is 6 hours and it wasn't very fun. My buddy has a sit and climb and says all day hunts aren't that bad, but I have a hard time believing him.
