LT....someone is making a mesh type seat for the LW sit and climb. I'd type something like that into your web browser and see what it brings up. I think they were something like $20.

"something else".

LT...."something else".

That would be the locationof the seat. It's too close to the tree to allow for maximum comfort.

What that means, though....is that it's BETTER to actually HUNT out of. I've found (through varying the seat adjustments) that the seat is more comfortable in the "up" position of adjustment. It's also a lot easier to get on your feet at a moment's notice.

Biggest obstacle (if you wanna call it that) I'm having with the LW is the seat getting in the way as I climb/descend. It's a PITA, really. My binos and hand muff make it a tricky ordeal. If they'd come u with a way to secure it further from the tree for ascent/descent they'd make a lot of people happy.

Only other "negative" I have with mine is.....the bungee needs to stay attached to the stand all the time. It's a (&$^#% to find sometimes (as I sometimes leave it at the base of my tree) in the dark. If they'd come up with a way to keep it attached (brainstorm....I'm gonna do just that, today) it would help.

In saying all this, though....I'd take the LW over the Summit ANY DAY. Quietness....ease of packing.....silence on stand are the reasons.

I've climbed 63 out of 65 sits this year.
