For the weight and comfortplus what can be added after market
Go with the Viper
I have tried several brands and by far the most comfy and safe feeling and EASY to set up and start climbing is the Summit

I have the API Grand Slam Supreme and it is very comfortable. Sit down when you get in the tree and don't stand back up until you climb down. Have taken many naps in it too. It's a tad bit on the heavy side at 22 or 24 lbs though. That's the one thing I don't like about it. Whenever I buy another it will probably be an API, Summit, or Gorilla of some type that is in the 15 lb range.

I have both the Viper and Grand Slam and the Viper is by far more comfortable and grabs the tree alot better.

I have a API SHOOTING STAR EXTREME and a SUMMIT OPENSHOT that I will sell CHEEAAAAP! The Summit is ultra light, but it doesn't have any bells or whistles.

I had 2 summit vipers until one of them was stolen. I also have 2 ol man climbers.
Neither are perfect, but I love them both.
