[QUOTE="Mike Belt, post: 3847958, member: 69"] I like the net seating. It weighs nothing, is quiet, and never holds water. I've mentioned this before but ideally, there needs to be 2 sets of net seats on a stand. When climbing or descending you have to step over the net seat in order to climb in a sitting/standing motion. If you had 2 net seats you only have to do that once when you first climb into the stand on the ground. You eliminate having to do so at whatever height you climb to. Simply slide one of the seats forward and the other the opposite direction and get in between them. Once you're up slide the front seat all the way forward and sit on the rear seat. If you decide you want to face towards the tree slide the rear seat towards the tree, turn around, and sit on the front seat. I don't know why Ol Man hasn't incorporated this system. That being said I broke out one of my Summit stands for the first time in a couple of years. They really bite into the tree and once up, they are a very comfortable stand. However, they are a pain in the butt. They bite into the tree so well that it takes me twice as long to come down as with my Ol Man. My stomach is sore and feels like I've just done 200 sit ups from all the jerking and pulling trying to get the stand to break free from the tree with every move coming down. Back in the Ol Man now.
