An open faced stand provides great mobility for a bow. I like Lone Wolf climbers and hang-ons depending on the tree. Used a Summit Cobra for awhile. Used a home-made baker style for awhile.

And when you get to hunting height and you cinch it down, no climber is as stable, it’s like a lock on.

Summit Viper, because it's reliable, simple and light weight.

Everyone that is recommending Lone Wolf - are you recommending the hand climber or the Sit & Climb? Been hunting out of a viper for years but always wanted a Lone Wolf

My set up is a Sit & Climb. I removed the Lone Wolf seat and installed a Hazmore net seat. When I climb I use it like a hand climber. I used the hand climber top and seat for years. Since I had back surgery back in 2012, it hurts my back. The net seat is very comfortable. I’ve pulled all day sits in it numerous times. Looks like this except I removed the bar you use to sit on when climbing.

Shaw, you have me curious. I also struggle with back issues. Does resting your upper back on the tree not make for an uncomfortable sit?

Lone wolf sit and climb, but I rarely sit down. I’m too fat to be able to twist to see behind me and still be able to breathe. I lean against the tree with my right shoulder and can do it all day if I’m somewhere like Illinois. As stated before, they pack flat, attach to tree and climb quietly, rock solid with the stabilizer straps, and I feel like the shape and color blends better up in the tree. I can also easily climb over limbs if I need to. I usually go over the first limb with top and bottom and take top piece over second limb. I like to set up where I have a limb to lean my shins on so I know where I am on the stand

I just use my same Summit Viper for all my hunting including bow hunting. When I bow hunt, I leave the padded rail a little lower. After having the padded rail in front for so long, I just couldn't get comfortable standing up and pulling back a bow without a rail in front.
