I have the Summit Cobra XLS, and at 17 pounds it is easy to get thru the woods. It is a little bulky but the light weight makes up for it. The comfort factor is unbelievable! When you can sit still and look at your watch and realize you've been there for 4 hours without moving, you know you have a great stand!

The best? I think the most comfortable is the Tree Lounge, but it's bulky, heavy and awkward.
I have a Lone Wolf and it is the best that I have ever used. Light, quiet, easy, stable and safe. I won't trade it for anything.

My favorite stand is my BuckShot BigShot Mag.
It's heavy at 32lbs but is solid as a rock and more comfortable than my Doc's Recliner or a friend's Tree Lounge.
It is rated at 375 lbs.

I have a buckshot too...mine might be a little smaller though but still its like a rock when climbing and sitting. Bulky yes but most of the time i leave in on the tree with its locks and come back and hunt the same tree later on

I personaly am a huge fan of the Summit line of climbers. They just put everything you need in a quality climber into one package. Safe,stable, quiet, easy to setup and climb with and very comfortable.

RE: What is the Best Climber?
Thank you all for your input. Santa Jim has concluded that his son, Joe will be thwakkin from a Lonewolf next season. We ordered it over the net and with shipping it will come to $315. Next year he will be studying environmental science at Syracuse and now that he has his 1st. climber he can haul butt into the Adirondacks for weekend hunts. I suppose for his birthday in January I had better get him some topos for nearby areas. That is a lot of territory and I want him to start getting familiarized with certain portions. Thanks again for all the kind help.

RE: What is the Best Climber?
Just out of curiousity, why did you pick the Lone Wolf climber when there were so many responses on this thread that clearly pointed in the direction of the Summit line...as specifically the various Viper models?
