Provided by The Sports Authority

The Summit Viper SS climber treestand utilizes a proven SummitLokt construction that mechanically "locks" the stand together. You can lower the seat for gun hunting or raise it for bow hunting. Summit Skin technology gives you a quiet stand even while you're backpacking it into the woods. Mossy Oak's New Break-Up® camo on the comfort pads, custom-designed seat, and Summit Skin keep you hidden while staying comfortable.

No Brainer

"This stand is going to be your best option unless you're bowhunting on land you've scouted in advance and then a prehung stand will probably be a better option (no noise from banging on saplings and less weight walking in), but when going into a new area or wanting to be flexible with positioning while bowhunting you can't beat this climber. It hooks up to the tree quickly with no pins, it bites into the bark s..." Read Full Review »

"This is a very easy stand to use. When the stand is in the tree it feels safe enough to river dance on it. the stand is very solid in the tree. Few set backs is the box it comes in, thats almost the size and shape it will be when carried into the woods. And the only other set back is that the metal …"  Read Full Review »

"I have been an avid deer hunter for over 30 years. This stand is a must have for any serious deer hunter. Having taken mechanical engineering in college I can honestly say that the craftsmanship and materials used on this stand are of top quality; who else gives a FIVE year warranty. I could not bel …"  Read Full Review »

"I have been a hunter for a few years, but I am finally getting into a tree this year. I just bought a Summit Viper SS and I really enjoy it. The climbing is easy and the seat reminds me of my LazyBoy.

"Only bad thing I can think of is the "Summit Skin" a self adhesive camo tape to cover the rails and what not. The instructions claim that it's "Aggressive" and sticks on contact but, after 24 hours sitting in my shed a lot of areas came loose. I doubt that it would hold any longer under cold/wet con …"  Read Full Review »
