Im in the market for a new one. Mines a few years old and way to heavy.

I've got a summit. I can't really remember the model. I've had it fir a few years and I'm really happy with it. Good support. Very stable. And light enought to pack in for a ways.

Summit razr. The front rail flips down which I like for bowhunting. I've used several different kinds and I like summit best. Mine has never slipped on a tree and it's really comfortable.
If you don't want the front rail to flip down get the viper or Goliath..

mine is a summit too but that thing weighs like 30 pounds, that is the only downfall.

Yeah some of the older ones weigh a lot but the newer ones are light.

Summit. Weighs 21lbs but that sucker is glued to the tree. Will not slip for anything.

I have heard great things about lone wolf climbers. I have never used one but I hear they are very very light but pricey.

I know a couple people who bought lone wolf climbers, they claim they only used them once and sold them. Said the seats were the most uncomfortable they had ever sat in..

If you want something cheaper get an ol man. If you're willing to spend a little more for quality, get a summit. Ol mans are a little easier to carry if you have a long walk through thick stuff.

Summit treestands are hands down the best. Mine weights 20lbs and has never failed me for the last 6-7 years I've used it.

I've used old man stands and I have no idea why people would want to use that thing. That has to be one of the most uncomfortable stands they make. I owned one for a few years and gave it away it was so bad. It was uncomfortable and didn't hold good on the tree either. I had a model from about 10 years ago and was the basic model also.

Looked at the lone wolf climber at Cabela's and it looked pretty cool. Was only like 12lbs.
