So I got a lone wolf assault on the way to go with my lone wolf sticks. I've read that the best seat to get is a hunt comfort seat cusion but i'm not seeing it anywhere. I go onto lone wolfs site and they have a alpha tech seat cushion but that doesnt look much more than the one that comes with. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get a better cusion? I also got the stick quiver on the way as well? How do you guys like it?
I really like the seat that comes on the LW stands. Personal opinion. I also have the stick quiver but I've not used it yet. I plan on trying it this year.

I have had the alphatech seat on my Alpha and Assault for a couple years. It is a nice improvement over the regular seats.
I do not mind the flat seat that comes standard on the LW stands. No problem sitting for long periods. Everyone has a different definition of comfort however, I like that there is very little compression when I sit and stand.
I just received my first lone wolf last month--the assault--and I've hung and sat in it multiple times so far, but obviously not for hours since hunting season is not in yet. I really like the seat, and find it even more comfortable than the hawk helium seat that I also like alright. But I'm the type of guy that likes a firm seat, and bed etc compared to a super soft cushion. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
That stick quiver is great! Seems well built, just make sure you push the sticks straight in and pull straight out! As far as the cushion, I had the hunt comfort and it was comfortable, but seemed pretty heavy to me. I returned it, but bought one of Millenniums M7 seats and installed it onto my assault. Took some time and thought, but I was up for the challenge and in the end, I feel it paid off big time!
Looks great! What's the weight of your hybrid stand now? I like my lw seat but wondered about putting the m100u seat on it... Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I had the original older foam seat (the ugly flat gray pad) for several years before upgrading to a thicker replacement seat. I think Lone Wolf used to sell the replacement seat I had but I don't see it on their site anymore. Due to lower back problems I sit 95% of the time. The thicker seat was definitely more comfortable; I found the original seat pad very uncomfortable. One thing to keep in mind is a thicker seat can make it difficult to use with the EZ-Hang hook. We set up multiple stand locations and leave the hooks in each tree so we only have to use one stand and when we plop it back in the tree its at the right height/direction for our shooting lanes. I had such a difficult time getting the stand on the hooks due to the pad hitting the tree that I finally gave up on the more comfortable thicker replacement. If you use a lineman's belt while hanging the stand it may not be as much of a problem since you'll have both hands free to use. At the time they weren't as popular and I wasn't using one of those. I ended up buying the parts to upgrade the whole seat platform to be used with the newer style seat. It's a step up from the original, but still fairly uncomfortable by the time I'm at about the 3 hour mark. If you don't use the EZ-Hang hook you'll probably have no issue with a thicker seat and if you sit most of the time as I do I would definitely invest in one. The more my butt hurts the more I start to fidget around. As for the stick quiver I really like mine. As OakFlats mentioned just make sure you pull the sticks straight out and it works great. I think the bad reviews I've read on it are from guys twisting the sticks in/out and weakening the plastic especially when it's cold out. They slide in/out very smoothly so no need to twist and they displace the weight of the sticks across the stand more evenly making the whole setup feel easier to carry.
