I just got new climbing sticks and want to get a hang on to match. Im looking at an xop and a few others. I want somewhat light, and quiet but not terribly expensive. What are you guys using? What do you like/dislike?

Which ever one you get I would replace the cable's with chains first thing. Very easy to do and pretty inexpensive.

I bought a millennial stand in 2015 when I had 2 back surgeries. They are aluminum so very light. The seat was the selling point for me, supportive and comfortable.
It was in the same tree last 2 seasons and no deterioration to the fabric. Typically I take it down after season but forgot last year.

I have some older ones I switched to chains but I am comfortable with the newer XL stands with just cables. (Weight up to 300lbs.). A LIFELINE AND SAFETY VEST IS A MUST THOUGH I Will not hunt without one these days. |

I always use harness/lifeline. The stand will be mostly run and gun stand. I hunt mostly archery. Lots of good input so far.

I’ve have 2 xop vanish stands and a lone wolf alpha that I use with lone wolf sticks for when I’m hunting in Illinois or do a hang and hunt here not a whole lot of difference between the xop and lone wolf besides the main stem and the seat cushions. The seat cushion that come with the xop isn’t any good. I wanted to throw it out the first 15 minutes the first time I used the stand. The thin little cushion on the lone wolf is 10times more comfortable. I upgraded them to the thicker cushion xop makes. They are a little better but not much
