Lone Wolf Sit & Climb Combo II Climbing Tree Stand

I purchased this stand as my first climber after reading many reviews and I'm very happy with my choice. Assembled very quickly and was very user friendly in the woods. The first couple times getting it adjusted correctly and climbing were slow, but after using 15-20 times on hunts it's very easy. The stand itself is very stable and I noticed no slipping during climbing or descending. I really like that you can get the stand leveled even if the tree you're climbing isn't perfectly straight or the trunk is uneven. The cam system works great and you can maneuver the bands over knots and even small limb stumps pretty easily as you climb and descend. I've sat for 4-5 hours at a time in the stand, and while it's not like being on your couch, it's certainly comfortable enough for this amount of time. The stand is very quiet on the tree as well...there are no squeaks or straining if you're moving around. The stand packs up pretty easily as well and isn't too cumbersome or heavy even for a long walk to your spot. Overall, I'm very happy with the stand and I'd purchase it again and I recommend it.

I bought this stand for packability, and it lived up to its billing. It packs down into an extremely flat and compact backpack in less than 2 minutes. It climbs OK. I would prefer a different system for locking your feet into the platform while climbing but it works fine, just have to make shorter strides than I'm used to with my summit. It seems comfortable enough- I've read many reviews that say it's terrible on comfort so that was my main concern before buying. I've yet to hunt in it this year, but I feel like the seat is plenty comfortable. I don't think you can beat a summit on comfort, so if you're looking for a stand that you will leave out and don't anticipate moving around very often, I would still point you to the summit viper. But, if you need a stand that will be moved frequently or packed up after each hunt, then I don't think you can beat this Sit and Climb from Lonewolf. One upgrade purchase I would recommend when buying any climber is backpack straps. None come with quality straps and you can find very comfortable, durable straps for around 15 bucks. Lone Wolf makes a pair, and The Claw has a decent pair as well

Female hunter here. I bought this climber knowing the quality of lone wolf products. I hate heights but love hunting and wanted something safe and lightweight for trekking in the woods. This stand is amazingly light and very sturdy! Very easy to set up although I will note that when you go to expand the top and bottom there are knobs that turn to do so and they do get stuck sometimes. I have had this issue a couple times now where I have to wiggle it around and I end up getting it situated but other than that issue there are none. Grips the tree like no other and very comfortable. The bar is a nice option if you are crossbow or gun hunting for a rest but in the way for a traditional/ compound bow. Great product and will continue to buy their products! As with every good stand, the manufacturers always skimp on the harness. This is the case with this stand as well. Buy a reputable harness and I also recommend some good backpack straps for this stand as well. The ones supplied are less than desirable.

Could be more comfortable. A bit pricey, but way easier to carry than other stands.

I usually don't write reviews (in fact, this is the first review I've ever written). I recently had an experience with Lone Wolf that prompted the 5 star review. Two of the knobs and screws on my climber seized after two years of use. I reached out to lone wolf on their website. Within 24 hours, the owner of the company reached out to me, assured me that they stand behind their products, and shipped replacement parts to my house. FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SERVICE!I have now had this climber for three years, and I love it. I hunt public land, and often walk or bike in several miles. The Sit and Climb is compact and quiet, and makes the long walks and bike rides much easier. Set-up is a breeze, and the stand is rock solid in a tree. I am 6'1" and 200 lb, and the tree stand is as comfortable as any for all day sits. I highly recommend this tree stand and this company's products.

Im going to try to be as straight forward so the next bow hunter can hear my opinion. I was not a big fan. There a few reasons that I did not like this tree stand. The cons, very small platform. They advertise you can stand your bow up in the built in bow holder. Meanwhile it is so close to your legs there is no way this will work. In 5`10" and 200lbs fyi. Also when you climb the tree your suppose to be able to put your feet under the brackets. There was very little room to do this considering most bow hunters where rubber lacrosse boots or such. Then the biggest concern I had was that the top part of the climber that you sit on. There are a few concerns here. The seating comfort is a 5/10. Then when your climbing out want to stand up you have to fold it up to have some room. The worst part about it was it was so small. So small that it barely weighed anything. So if you were to stand up and you bumped it it would just fall down if you had no weight on it.The pros. The stand is really lite and quiet. The belt system is pretty nice too. Almost to grippy of that is even possible, sometimes you have to work extra hard to get it off the tree ascending. If you like to sit down while you shoot, you can do so.Overall I was not very happy with it. I came from a ol man climber and will be going back. The I'll man is way more comfortable and way more secure in the tree. I really wanted to like this climber. But it's just not for me.
