I have the Hazmore seat and backrest installed on my Summit. Made alk the difference in the world. Quiet and actually packs together easier. Spent 90% of last season in it. 2 sits this season with it. Good luck.
Silent seat is great. Really love how it moves out of the way when I stand up. Really give me the full use of the platform. Not a bad idea with the windbreaker. Good luck in the outdoors and have fun.
You’ll really like the stabilizer straps for your climber. Use them on my Goliath and it really locks the upper and lower to the tree. Super stable and no worries about bumping the upper part of the stand loose
Third hand stabilizer straps are a game changer. You don’t have to worry about the top falling if you lean on it when making a shot, not to mention made packing up with my back pack faster. Buy them you will not regret it!
Quick tip… You should have an extra Treestand tread left after doing your bottom platform. Take the extra tread and cut out pieces for the metal contact points that cause noise. This will ensure that it deadens the clanking sound the stand makes when nesting and taking apart 🤙🏻
Yes you will have an extra tread piece left over. That is a great idea to use it up. I use a camo mole skin for most of those spots on a treestand. Thank you for great tip and thank you for watching.
I agree that trusting zip ties isn’t a good idea. I’ve had zip ties on tree stands break (the ones that hold the padding on) so I used parachute cord to lash everything. Plastic gets brittle over time and one of my summits is 20+ years old and I keep it in the woods all hunting season.
Those are the Hazmore Tree Stand Rubber Treads. They are really nice and I highly recomend adding them to your tree stand. hazmore.net/collections/hunting-and-tresstand-accessories/products/tree-stand-rubber-treads
Not sure where I got that set from but if you Google “camo moleskin silencing tape” you can find one you like. I really like one that come as a sheet that I can cut out. Thank you for watch and good luck in your hunting season.
I’m sorry but I’m not sure if your knees will hit the bar. I’m 5’10” and I have room in my stand. Also the Hazmore setup does not cause any restrictions in the stand.
The seat sits more level with bar…… allows more clearance for Bowhunting…. I am about to purchase the dual threat but feel better about my son hunting out of my old summit with the bar around it and of course the safety belt
Yes you do sit a little more level with the bar. With the ease pushing the seat back you have plenty room to get around the bar when stand for bow hunting.
@LemonRiverOutdoors just saying one day they will br3ak unless u got the ones with the wire inside of it..get those and I will not worry about you ok lol ...nice mods
Hazmore seat was the best decision I made for my summit. Highly recommend it.
I know, I wish I would have gotten one sooner!

*all the difference. Also have the stabalizer straps and they do lock the stand to the tree.
Definitely a great product all around. I was just in it again this morning. Good-luck this season and keep enjoying the outdoors!
Love my silent seat, game changer honestly. I zip tied an old windbreaker from my sons for those late winter NY sits.

Yes, I started using them and they are great!
Definitely recommend the third hand stabilizer straps.
Came here to say that……

what summit stand would be the best for shooting a bow while sitting. Thanks. Dont like the open shot.
Other than the open shot it’s pretty hard to shoot sitting down in a summit climbing stand.
What camo moleskin did you use on the frame and where did you get it?
I forget what brand but I think it was one off Amazon.
i would be hesitant to depend on a zip tie to hold my weigh in the seat
I’ve had no problem with the zip ties and I’m about 220lbs.

What are the black strips you put on base where you get them?

Will my knees hit the bar ? Summit mini viper.

What is mole skin?
www.mossyoakgraphics.com/mossy-oak-matte-camo-roll
It’s also call silent skin. It has a few names. But it gives a soft edge to metal.
It does the job
It really does and a huge improvement over the original seat.
I would say SURROUND SEAT ...WHEN THOSE TIES GET WET THEN DRY I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE IN THAT SEAT BUDDY. BUT NICE UPGRADES...
I’ve had no issues with the seat being wet and drying. Thanks for viewing.
