I set up my Ol Man Vision climber for the first time this weekend. It' s been a long time since I bought a new climber, but I have to say that this is the most confortable climber I have ever used. I was skeptical about the net seat but it is really comfortable. I apparently feel asleep in it yesterday morning a little harder than I thought. A noise woke me up and I had drool running down the left side of my chin.

Only thing I see wrong with it is that I wish it were a few pounds lighter.

Thats why I' ve been preaching the Ol' man line for years on here. They are incredible stands...I don' t worry about the light weight, hell I through a 20 lb pack on it...lol

Sounds good, i was looking into getting a 16lb climber i seen them have, probly wait till next season for it.

i' ve had all different brands of climbers and ol' man is by far the best. i bought and sold more stands than i care to talk about. have not had another since the ol' man. it' s the only one i' ll use now. good luck with it.

My stand is around 22-26lbs. Pretty hefty load on the long walks.

Ol' Man 4 me!

I' ve been using a Grand Ol Man for about 5 yrs now. Aside from being a little heavy, it' s everything I need/want in a climbing stand...

I' ve got the Ol' Man Air Elite II, I don' t even think they make them anymore, but it weighs only 17lbs. You get all the goodies that come with Ol' Man stands, without breaking your back. It is a little smaller than the original, but I love it. Ol' Man is the best stand on the market IMO.

Ol' man makes a titanium one for like 400 bucks that weighs 13 or 14 lbs. I was debating betweed the summit and ol' man and I went witht eh summit just because I liked the way it hooked up better. I hear they are both great stands though.

Mike I think this is my 3rd season with my Ol Man Multi Vision and I agree with you. You can' t buy a better stand. I hope you are wearing your restraint Sleeping that hard could be hazardous to your health
