I own a Summit Cobra XLS and love it...You also might want to take a look at the new climbers made by summit that fold flat for ease of packing in and out. I think one is called the Bullet Backpacker and I forget the other name. But go with a summit, you won' t be dissapointed.

The " bullet" is a " viper XLS" that folds down..." broadhead backpacker" is the Cobra XLS that folds! The folding versions are 1lb. for the Viper and 3 lbs. for the Cobra, heavier. But still at 21 lbs for the heaviest...

Ok I' ll be different! The summit is nice but heavy! Not really heavy as is bulky. I have used the cobra and viper. Both very sweet stands! I really like the Loggy Bayou. I don' t remember the style name [>:] but it is a one peace with the seat attatched to the floor. It' s awesome light weight and easy to set up. A very good climber! And you don' t need the climbing aid sold seperetly so don' t waist your money. With some stands, bear hugging a tree can be tough but with this stand it is easy! Good luck!

Lone Wolf Alpha Sit & Climb.......In the past 5 years I have used 3 different climbers....Summit Bushmaster, API Grand Slam Supreme and now the Lone Wolf. The Lone Wolf for me wins hands down.

The Summit Goliath sounds like the stand for you. If will hold 275lbs with no problem. It is quiet, stable, safe, and very comfortable. I love mine. I have tried alot of stands and for me Summit gets the nodd, not only for features and quality, but customer service as well.

Thanks for everyone' s input.
Thinking along the lines of a " if a hunting outfitter would choose any Summit climbing stand for a client which would it be?"
I think it would be a toss up btwn the Golaith, and the Cobra XLS. Looking at the Hotshot from Buckshot too as another possibility.
