Questions & Answers
I'm guessing yes... it has a buckle system that secures it to the stand, so it should fit almost anyone.
The backpack straps are attached with d-rings that can be removed. Through the bottom plate, make a loop. As long as the stand to which you're looping has enough space in the floor plate to accommodate the d-ring, you're good to go. I don't think it'll be a problem if I weave a loop through it.
It's not something I get rid of. I'm going to keep it. It hasn't been a problem so far. br>All you have to do now is re-cinch the belt.
My API climbers are packed in mine. My daypack and all of my belongings are included as well. It can certainly handle the weight of an Elk's hindquarters.

It took some time to get a good fit by wearing the stand and adjusting buckle locations (you don't have to use all of the buckles), torso length, and other factors, but once you do, it's a breeze to carry the stand (photos). At 57, I can comfortably carry the stand for several miles, with all of the weight on my hips and no weight on my shoulders.
A few weeks ago, I received this. I use it on my Summit Viper to help with long packs on public land, but make sure you bring a bag big enough to fit the straps and waist band inside so they don't hang off the tree stand while you're hunting. I had a doe on the way, and a breeze blew through, blowing small pieces of left-over strap around and giving me away. Aside from that, everything is fine. You could just leave them at the base of the tree if you had to, but because I hunt on a budget, I prefer my gear to last. It is not easy for me to replace equipment.
Instead of backpack straps, opt for the XOP EXTREME System. I hunt with an Alpha and went from feeling half as heavy with regular BP straps to barely noticing it on my back now. My hunting pack appears to be back there due to distribution.
It took some time to get the straps in the right place, but once I did, it felt great. Because I haven't used it in the woods yet, I can't comment on durability. It is unquestionably more comfortable, and I was surprised to discover that it was also quieter. This will be extremely useful for me because I walk a long distance to my destinations. Recommended strap placements for various popular tree stands would be a good idea for XOP to include.
It took some time to attach all eight connectors to my Lone Wolf Flit sear Climbing stand, but it was well worth the effort. The weight is easily carried and distributed by the back pack system. I'm completely blown away. I had the Lone Wolf padded back pack straps before making the purchase. On a long hike, they were inconvenient because the aluminum tree stand base pressed against my back and shoulder blades, causing pressure points. This is no longer an issue with the XOP Extreme.
I'll update this review once the season is over, but it's already up on my summit goliath. It was a little awkward to get it set up at first because it wasn't designed for that stand, but it serves its purpose admirably; all you have to do now is find the right spots, as shown in the pictures posted by others. To be honest, it makes the stand feel like nothing, with all of my weight on my hips and the shoulder straps serving only to keep it in place.
This thing has made packing my stand and sticks into the car a lot easier. My setup (line wolf assault 2 and full length LW sticks) feels a fraction of the weight. It took some fiddling to find the sweet spot for the adjustments, but once I did, it was perfect.
Because any of the new modern small, light hang ons are too small for this shoulder strap system, it must have been designed for large hang ons from the past. When I tried to attach it to a novix helo, the attachment straps were simply too long. I might be able to get a tight fit, and there isn't enough platform area to stretch the strap out like they did. The shoulder straps were also attached to the waist belt rather than the back pad, which was a huge mistake. It might have been useful if it hadn't been for that. Overall, if this wasn't made by xop, I'd assume it was made by someone who had no experience with treestands, as there are far too many straps. For no reason at all. br>This might work if you have an old or large hang on or climber. Keep looking if you can find a modern-day run-and-gun stand. This is way overpriced, overengineered, and way too big.
