Anybody Have A Summit With the New Quick Climb Stirrups ?
 

Thought about "upgrading" my Cobra & Viper to these new quick-climb stuirrups that Summit is using now.

Anybody using them ? That is the part I hate about using my climbers is having to bend down to get the straps over my feet.

Edit : I think they are actually called "Rapid Climb Stirrups"

The stirrups work great, no messing around bending down to get into the straps. I agree, worth the couple of bucks.

I put them on my Viper and am very pleased with them also.

my powder coating is coming off in spots..going to camo paint the stand sorta like one of the member here did not long ago too.

Last season's version come's with the stirup's included and I sure like them ,make's it easy to secure your feet without having to bend down to tie up the strap's.

yes there awesome, just gota make sure an keep them tight or theyl start to get out of position, but they were a great idea!

They work great and are worth every penny. I wouln't be without them now that I have usend them for and entire season.

I think there cheaply made and for me too hard to manuver. Here is what I did to my X4 Golioth:
I took the strapping from an old safty belt abd pop rivited to the stand and used the bunge cord that comes with the stirrups. The strapping has to be riged so it will stand up elematating you bending over to insert your feet. Works better for me.

That's excellent MDbowhunter,I like that even better.Good job!

RE: Anybody Have A Summit With the New Quick Climb Stirrups ?
 

Thanks Drstalker. As you can see I left the rappid stirrups on just in the slim chance that a pop rivit might work it's way out I would still have a way down. The stirrups IMO should have been marketed to the owners of the older stands and all the X4 models should be made with them incorperated into the mold of the stand instead of the flimsy plastic add on's.

Md I would think keeping some rope pieces tied on the stand base would work too(just in case one of the rivets came out)

I have them on my bullet backpacker. With the exception of having to move them from where I need them to climb and descend to fold the stand flat they are great. They make getting up the tree quietly a lot easier.

I have the stirrups on my Summit Viper Classic and for the most part, love them. My only complaint is in trying to get them tight enough to not move at all. They move some, but it is a minor annoyance. I like the previous post with the strap setup. My only problem with that is that my legs are pretty long and I climb better with my toes pointed away from the climber.

Love em. I was worried about how they would hold up but they performed great. I will be getting a new Bushmaster X5 this year. This will be my 5th new Summit climbing stand. I don't think you can beat their stands. I somethime wish they would stop improving on them so I could save some money but oh well. Maybe they will start some sort of buy 5 and get one free deal??????
