Fast answer...Lone Wolf or Summit
 

Picking up a stand tonight and having a tuff time deciding..Lone Wolf wide sit and climb or Summit Titan...im 6'1" 235lbs. Looking for some help on my decision.

Summit Summit Summit!!!!!!

SUMMIT all the way.

Summit all the way......sitting in a Titan now. Btw....I am 6' 3" and was 260 lbs when I bought it.

I usually dont outright trash a brand, but I bought a summit a couple years ago , the finish has almost all flaked off in spots where I didnt put tape, its loud as a busted chainsaw, it does not pack as flat as my API and it tends to wanna get stuck together, the climbing teeth are rounded not sharp so it slips on all but the softest bark and on wet bark. Oh did I mention, ITS LOUD!!!!!!! summit is crap get an API or lone wolf.

Love my Summit Titan. I'm ony 5'11'' 180# and plenty of room.

I'm 5'11 210 and have the summit viper which is the same except smaller than the Titan. It's comfortable as hell so I imagine the Titan is even better!

Lone Wolf
 

Quality stands and back up there products,,,

I bought a Summit Viper about 6 years ago. I'm downright miserly and agonize over every dollar I spend on hunting. It was one of the best purchases I ever made. It is relatively quiet to set up, and easy as well.
I was replacing a Warren and Sweat that only lasted about 3 seasons before completely falling apart. My hunting buddy bought a Summit Razor last year to replace a hand-me-down stand he'd had for years. He feels the same as me. Great stand, great purchase.

I own both a Summit and Lone Wolf climber and I personally think the Wolf blows the Summit of of the water. Just my oponion. I travel long distances to hunt and the best part about the Wolf is that is colapses down and packs tight against your back, the Summit stands, at least the one I have, will not do this. It hangs off your back well over a foot. When you are moving through thick brush this is a real pain as the stand is constantly getting hung up. When reviewing your two options, the Wolf wide sit is 4 lbs lighter than the Titan, this may seem small but believe me 4lbs is a lot when you are walking long distances. DeerandbearhoG is correct, my Summit stand is loud but my Wolf is rock solid and quiet, I mean ROCK solid. The top (seat) connect to the bottom and locks the two stand together. The Wolf is also easier to hang on the tree and gives you more adjustability where as the Summit uses metal cables coated in rubber. Once the rubber wears off it will be metal on metal. IMO.....go with the Wolf.

Summit. Lone Wolf's are now made in CHINA. Thats a fact too.

Got the LW...yes its made in China, says it on the box and I think its going back. The plastic knobs look worn, platform has pitted orange crap on it, the bungee has all the plastic ripped off it and the metal bar for climbing bent by me just grabbing it and applying preasure. Just think when I sit on it and try to climb! Paid $417 not worth it to me ! Hello Titan

I bought a Summit Openshot this year and I am happy with it. Definitely not a lounge chair though, it is their smallest model.

Summit Viper.

I have never had a Lone Wolf but I just bought a Summit and love it after 6 or 7 hunts. As long as you practice with it it is quiet and easy to put up. Summit Viper SS. I am 6' tall and 210#.

X2 - I've had mine for about 3-4 years and would buy another one!

FYI - I brought my lonewolf back for a refund that paid for the summit. The latches that hold the rubber climbing strap onto the tree continually failed - I did not feel safe, especially with a high price tag:mad: and the high altitude tree height:eek2:

summit witout any question. I have had an old sumiit sabre for years which i upgraded to a viper for. i also have 3 summit double barrel 2 man stands which my son and i hunt from. i also own to summit talon lock on stands. i have never had any stand slip or any problem like the 1 guy discussed to you. the only stand you will ever catch me depending on with my life or my son's is a summit. hope u make the right choice because nothing worse than hard earned cash spent on something you dont like.

I love my summit, the only thing that I wish they would change is make the cables just a little bit longer.

API and Non-Typical Stands are the only two, that I will trust. Have had Ol'man's and some other various types that just weren't as solid as these two brands. Just my opinion.

I have 2 Summits..a Cobra and a SS Viper. I like them both. Never had a Lone Wolf so i can't compare them.
