Mine is a Summit Viper, 19lbs all alum construction, easy to use, quiet.

I am on the larger side [6'4" 260] and the extra width of the goliath model would be nice...

I have nothing bad to say about this product.

I have the Sumitt Viper SS. It is the only one I have used so cant compare to anything else. The stand is quiet and as long as you set up the cables so that the stand will be level when you get to your desired height it feels very comfortable and stable. I took the padding off the two square tubular tubes that run on an angle near your shoulders and wrapped the tube in hockey tape - the material on the padding rubbed against my jacket and made too much noise when it is super still and quiet out. I kept the padding on the front tube because it works well to lay your rifle across. The safety harness that comes with it seems good to me and fits well under clothing.

I also have a summitt viper ss and love this stand easy to use, and comfortable to sit in. Took some getting used to with the climbing part but once you figure it out your off to the races, reccommend this stand for sure

lonewolf hand climber is the best stand out there. Well made, open shot front gives archers amazing comfort while shooting steep angles and they are very comfortable. If you want the sit and climb its even that much more comfortable. Ive used my dads summit sit and climb and yes it is very comfortable but it has a hard time biting into the trees with thin bark. You will never have a problem climbing whatever tree you want with the lonewolf. we even climb poplar trees with our lonewolfs. They are well worth the money!!

I did a lot of research before I settled on the Equalizer stand. Unique in that the cable is adjustable by way of crank , as you climb.

Check out the Equalizer video clip. ( no I am not associated to them) Just really liked their stand.
