Summit Treestands Viper SD Climbing Treestand

Summit's treestands are carefully engineered to be the most silent, secure, comfortable, and concealed hunting treestands on the market. From versatile climbing treestands to adaptable hang-ons, all of our treestands are built to last. All Summit stands are designed and engineered to meet or exceed the ASTM industry standards recognized by the Treestands Manufacturer's Association. Here at Summit, we know what it takes to make quality products. The Viper SD is the most popular stand in the Summit lineup. Its lightweight and strong aluminum build make it the climber of choice for hardcore hunters. The padded backpack straps coupled with the upper and lower frames ability to pack tight against each other allow for maximum portability no matter how far the distance. Once you get there, stay for a while in the suspended foam-padded seat with cushioned backrest and padded armrests. The closed front allows for simple sit-and-stand climbing and doubles as a gun and crossbow rest. The large 20”x36” aluminum platform offers plenty of foot space to stand up for a bow shot, too. The Viper SD features Summit’s Dead Metal technology that allows you to move in the stand without creating game-spooking unnatural metal sounds. Padded seat, rail and armrest are decorated in Realtree camo for maximum concealment. This is where the "SD" in your climber's name comes from. Summit's Dead Metal technology keeps the noise down by filling in critical parts of your stand with custom-engineered expanding foam. Summit's Quick Draw cable retention system securely locks the cable in place for fast, easy, and silent attachment to the tree. Applicable joints are "locked" into place before welding and each joint is designed so the stress on the weld is minimized. RapidClimb Stirrups are comfort-engineered and designed to keep your boot securely attached to the platform.
