    I have a Viper. Probably the most popular Summit model.

    Definitely check out the Viper and Viper SD

    If you go with either model get a good set of backpack straps to replace the stock ones.

    I have an Viper that I've had for atleast 10 years. Killed a majority of my deer with a bow out of it! Super comfy and easy to setup and pack up as well.

    Well How big of a boy are ya? The reason I ask is because I am not a small guy about 280. I have a summit Goliath and that stand is awesome for the slightly larger framed hunters. I have a buddy that also has the viper so I don't think you can really go wrong.

    I have a Viper as well. It is super comfy and, as long as you get the aluminum version, it isn't overly heavy.

    When you get to your tree, you'll know what NOT to do in packing it!

    Good luck. Great stand.

    I grabbed two cheap generic camo large punches at Walmart and zip tied them under the armrests as saddle bags. Work great and are large enough to hold my tree rope, harness, bino's, range finder , other random stuff so I don't have to carry a pack
    Only 8 bucks, very happy with their size

    also, grab some molle II straps and kidney belt off of amazon to make backpacking a breeze
