If you can find a Mancini 360 degree tree stand buy one.. Son, weren't you supposed to get me a prototype to R&D?

Seems like a lot of us spend some considerable time snoozing in these things! Comfort is key when it comes to a nap.

Summit Viper and an unknown that I refurbed. Same basic design as the summit but slightly different in the cables, seat, and stirrups.

I have the XOP ambush. I bought it because it folds flat for storage and packing in and out of the woods, plus it has that folding shooting rail that I can fold out of the way for bow season. Honestly I wish I would have just bought a summit though. It doesn’t fold completely flat, and the tree straps are a lot more work to manipulate than on the summits. It’s narrow to the point I’m on the cusp of squeezing the boys all day, the seat has virtually no cushion to it at all. I might try to finagle a summit seat on it at some point but dimension wise it’s narrower.

Hazmore makes a minimalist mesh seat for the XOP Ambush. I have tried them in Summit and API stands and found them to be more comfortable than the factory seats. They are certainly lighter and less bulky. The other thing the Hazmore seat does is that when you stand it slides to the rear so that you have use of all of the bottom platform.

I'd bet rain water will not soak the seat either. I sometimes carry a plastic garbage bag if I'm leaving my climber out for a couple days in case it rains on it...but sometimes I forget and go back to a wet seat. That Sucks. Might have to check that mesh seat out...Thanks

Hazmore also sells the 3rd Hand stabilizer straps.

I’ve had a Hazemore on my small summit climber for many years. I use it for longer hikes in and shorter sits. It’s lighter, doesn’t hold water or scent much , but for longer sits I prefer the summit padded seat.You have to keep the Hazemore seat level or slightly down in the front or the strap will dig into the back of your thighs. I highly recommend the third hand archery stabilizer straps and footrest on the summit stands…👌
