Description

Visit the Store Visit the Store Visit the Store Visit the Store Visit the Store 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.

Seller is rad. Great to work with and best customer service I have had. About the stand. Ive owned the older vipers without the SD. Had it for 10+ years and loved it. Recently I tried to foam it myself and it worked great except for on the foot base where it connects to the bracket - I foamed it and the foam leaked into where the cables go in. Long story short... I needed to buy this one to quickly replace my old one until I could properly fix it. This SD Viper stand. I like most everything about it. My old viper had cable tie on arm rests and that totally beats the new zipper ones. The new zipper pads cover less area and the zippers make noise when walking in. The zippers dont hold the pad on as well as the old cable tie system. Thats my biggest complaint and its small. Another thing I havent checked fully but the bungee strap that wraps the chair to the tree seems shorter. I may have been in too big of a tree but for sure test it out before going out. I used heat shrink tubing that had adhesive in it to cover the little metal s-hooks so they dont make noise. I would suggest mounting the shoulder straps a rung lower than they suggest. The straps stretch for comfort but if you are like me and load a bag on the climber - it will pull down the climber and the bottom can hit your legs when walking. Thats level 10 annoying. These sound bad but honestly this is the most comfortable chair I have sat in. In general. There are no pressure points like a ground chair has. The best hunt ever. I did buy some side bags and mounted them to the size for holding things. Its wonderful because you dont need to climb with a backpack or haul it up with string. My old stand I painted spots with brown and it looks darker which is nice. I hunter for years without painting it and never was spotted. I also used camo tape people use on bows to make it blend and quieter when bumped. I would suggest clearing trails way ahead because branches make tingy noises walking in. If you cant just get out way early. Climber is easy to assemble. Doesn't take more than an hour... I was just picky. The shoulder strap took a bit to figure out because the instructions dont really cover it. Look at pics and play around with it. The old stands had a foot rest on them which I liked but did squeak when opening and sometimes got in the way when getting in and out of the stand. Buy it. Its worth it. Seems better than most in my opinion. Summit makes quality stands. ... show more

    • Perfect in All Ways
Design: Mossy Oak
The price of this climber is great for the value of the product. Summit makes the best quality climber in my opinion. They are light weight, easy to use, comfortable, mobile, quite, feel secure when you set the teeth into the tree, and great for archery hunters. I’ve heard people say it is Josie to setup, but I have no issues setting up this bad boy. My recommendation for this people is take your time, plan our tour route, your assembly in the field, and practice your climbing. Generally it’s the operator making the noise not the equipment. The only thing that would warrant some more attention is that the paint on the teeth has already come off, but I expected that to happen. Special note for those looking to buy this bad boy. I’m 5”11, 205 with a waist of 34 add all those layers on here and the width of the seat is just enough to be comfortable. I’m going to buy the Goliath and give this viper to my girlfriend. If you have long legs like me Best Buy that foot rest extension. 5 out 5 stars summit I’ll be buying the Goliath next ... show more

Bought to use for public land hunts, it's a nice stand. I was hoping it would be easier to pack than my heavy Ol'Man Vision, but not sure about that, the Viper is a little awkward. The pros are the climbing ability and comfort. I also purchased the footrest and am looking forward to long sits. The stand arrived w/some minor damage but nothing that couldn't be pried back into place. I'd recommend checking the cable track/stop/lock for uncorrectable damage before unpackaging everything but otherwise assembly is easy. Hope this helps! Update: After using it, it's much easier to pack than my Vision. Some upgrades I made were to replace the pack strap w/the XOP TTS, applied 3M grip tape to the platform and installed a universal bow holder. Now it's great and just in time for gun season. ... show more

What I like: most comfortable stand on the market, lightweight as far as climbers go, cable wrap=no pins to lose. What I don’t like: shoulder straps are a joke. I bought an XOP Extreme Outdoor Products Tree Stand Transport System and adapted to the stand. Allows you to carry all the weight on your hips and not on your shoulders. I can comfortably carry the stand for miles now. Fall arrest harness is nothing fancy, but functional. Connect the two leg holes with a carabiner between the legs. I noticed that after only a couple of weeks use the cable shrink wrap was getting chewed up pretty badly (photo) and that the cable seemed to be getting hung up when inserting or removing the excess cable from inside the square tubing. Upon examination I noted the tubing was squared off on the end (photo) and that there was a two square holes (top and bottom) inside of each tube (photo), which the cable increment sledges were getting hung up in. So I made two mods. I beveled the ends of the tubing to help guide the cable into the tubing (photo) and I filled the square holes inside the tubing that the cable was getting hung in with JB weld epoxy. Now the cable just slides right in. Can’t believe Summit hasn’t already addressed these issues with these easy fixes. Also, buy the footrest attachment. It’s a VERY nice to have. Also, I removed the arm pads as they made the stand somewhat difficult to mate together and then put 1/4 inch self adhesive neoprene on the stand top, which holds my crossbow very securely and keeps it from slipping (photo). Seems like a lot of things to fix, but now it’s perfect....for a lifetime of enjoyment. 2ND SEASON UPDATE: The seat on this thing is a blessing and a curse. BLESSING: once you are in the tree, you have to fight to stay awake it’s so comfortable. Height adjustability is nice. Also, when configured for transport, it makes a nice pocket to securely stow clothing, gear etc., in. CURSE: that three fold seat is a pain in the arse to stow and unstow, not to mention all of the metallic “pings” the seat S hooks make as you pull the seat back through the stand before separating or mating the upper and lower halves of the stand. I have seriously considered cutting the top backrest off the seat pad....but I haven’t yet. Still a great stand because comfort is at the top of the list after weight and sturdiness. A stand that you can’t sit in for any length of time is worthless. OBTW: I figured out why Summit hasn’t addressed the tubing issues mentioned in my original review.....because they want to sell you more cable shrink wrap. After I made the tube mods, my shrink wrap damage decreased significantly. ... show more

To think I almost cheaped out and bought the steel one :0 Don't do that unless you can't afford it or have a 4 wheeler or vehicle to drop it off. Twenty pounds might not seem like a lot, but it is when you have a long hike on foot to the site. Add a gun and a pack and you're working overtime. The assembly isn't hard. It's figuring out all the dang safety features. I ignored the backpack straps and decided I'll just carry one frame in each hand to the site the day before. I was tired by the time I got there :( One mistake I made was not adjusting the seat cushion height before climbing. I knew it was tilted but decided I would power thru. I stayed in the tree from 615am until 415pm. Definitely should have adjusted the seat cushion. ... show more

    • Great Climbing Seat
Design: Mossy Oak
I own all types of ladder stands and strap or chain on seats but this is my first climber. I can not say enough good things about this product. I watched a few videos on how to use this product and general climbing seat safety and was then off to hunt with it. Seat is more or less assembled on delivery, just had to fit the padded seat (2 mins) and then the round the tree wire straps (2 mins). Once I found a tree to climb, got myself set up and away I went, super easy to use and I felt very safe and in control. This unit is light to carry at around 20lbs, has backpack type straps and is super comfortable when in use sitting in the tree. I recommend this climbing stand to all. Unit comes with safety harness and tie off strap to tree. I left my gear on the ground and used a couple of light cammo ropes to lift my backpack / bow / gun to my stand when I was in place in the tree. I found removing the padded seat to climb and descend made things easier, this is very fast to do and convenient also when things get wet from the rain and need to be dried. A well thought out and made product, hope to have many years of use. ... show more

    • I was to cheap to buy this stand from the beginning and wasted money on other stands
Design: Mossy Oak
It’s expensive, yes. Buy it! But an X stand is more lightweight, yep. I can go to Walmart and get an Ameristep/Primal for way less, you can do that. A Porta-Climb is super comfortable, to some, sure. I told myself this many times. I wouldn’t say I wasted money on other stands as I have since passed them down to my kids but geez I was hardheaded. The Summit is definitely the most comfortable for long hunts in the tree. It doesn’t clang to much in the woods. It’s built like a tank. It’s not overly heavy. It’s very easy to climb or descend with. The best part is you can find all kinds of aftermarket goodies to make it just how you want. This is definitely the last stand I’ll be buying for a long time. ... show more
