I moved from the Covert Lite after 2 year to this. This is extremely light and very comfortable. Simplicity ensures I dont hang a bazillion things off my saddle.
I switched from a climbing stand to a saddle. I was surprised by the weight of the sticks. SUPER LIGHT! I have set these on some trees in my yard and they bite really tight. Id recommend me these to anyone looking for a light climbing stick set.
I have only had this a couple of weeks and only climbed with it two or three times now to practice. It is very well made. Quality stitching where it is sewn. I hung in the tree for an hour or so both times. I never got tired and I was comfortable the entire time. It does take some time to acclimate to this new style of hunting. I am 53 and looking at changing from stand hunting to saddle hunting. I have high hopes for this style of hunting. At my age moving and setting up ladder and climbing stands is just not making much sense when there may be another option.
