Got one. ProMag XL. Love it. Slightly narrower than my former Summit Goliath that pretzled like a cheap POS. It was on that fateful morning I made up my mind to never again climb a tree in anything with Chinese welds.
My treestand history over 30 years is Baker, Original Summit Climber (steel), Ol' Man Grand Vision, Summit Goliath and now Tree Walker. I assure you the Tree Walker has them all beat and the quality of work is plainly visible. If you get one, get the chill pad accessory. You won't be sorry.

I just recently purchased the ProMag XL as well. I bow hunted out of it one morning and liked everything about it. I think I will really enjoy it more once I get the hang of everything (mainly packing it and putting it on the tree), and also once gun season comes around.

Those look alot like my Gorilla stand. easy to carry and set up. the only uncomfortable thing is the mesh seat so I have a nice foam pad to go on it.

I have two, really like them for comfort. The negative is they destroy the bark and really damage the tree.

Love mine. I got a older one, it's very lightweight, you can throw it on your back and walk for miles. Don't really know what model it is.
Likes: it has spikes that bite into the tree, I feel very secure climbing either up or Down, lightweight. And I only got 20 dollars for it at a yard sale.
Dislikes: the little seat that comes with it SUCKS, but you can buy a extra summit seat and it just attachs right on to it. It does tend to mess up the bark on trees.

I have the ProMag. If you bowhunt I would spend the extra $10 and get the ProMag XL so you have the option to have an open front if you want one.
The mesh seat was kind of annoying at first, but it broke in nicely after a short while. The chill pad that Buccaneer mentioned is a must have. It makes the stand super comfortable, especially when it's cold.
If you call them you can make arrangements to drive over to Seymour and check out the stands in person. I bought mine onsite at their facility after seeing the stand.
I like the light weight, comfort and the way it grabs the tree. I am basically fearless when climbing and sitting in my Treewalker. I added some nice backpack straps to make it more comfortable when packing into a stand site. Don't buy their deluxe backstrap straps. I did and they are awful.

[/quote] Summits are made in Alabama.... ???? [/quote]
Summits were one time completely made in Alabama. Now all Summits are not made in Alabama by Alabama craftsmen.
Where are Summit Treestands Made?
Since 1981, our main production facility has been in Decatur Alabama. Starting in 2012, all of our Aluminum treestands are designed, built and packaged in the USA with the exception of the included safety harness.
Summit ladders, tripods and other steel items are designed in the USA but are imported from overseas. All imported parts are spec'd to our very high standards and inspected thoroughly before use.
We have been building stands in Decatur since 1981. Our main office including management, engineering, marketing, sales, customer service and shipping are also located in Decatur.
