Got the z8 a few hours ago:
I’d agree with @enkriss , for $200 at the introductory price I haven’t seen a better stand for the money. Honestly it probably is still a pretty good deal at $300 from what I can tell and given the market out there.
It locked onto the tree very easily. I toe cammed it and it locked on fine doing it that way.
Will I keep it tho…. I’m between this and a xop cold world. I like the smaller size of the cold world, the meat shelf, it’s a pound lighter and having my bow holder integrated into the stand is nice. But are those features worth an extra $200? Probably not.
They're almost too warm for where we live honestly. They're made for Montana winters, they laugh at NJ... We get a handful of days a season that warrant breaking these out.
Mine have all definitely stretched some, the liner will eventually break down mold around your foot, if they’re super tight idk… I use Obenauf’s on all my Schnee’s.I got these pac boots ordered the 10” extremes. They fit very tight width wise. Is there a break in period with these?

Yea you mite be screwed idk, most of mine have heel slip which drives me nuts but I don’t hike far with them, I wear those thick, wool, “lifetime“ socks Bass Pro sells with them to make up the difference, the rest of the time it’s Darn Tough socks for my mountain boots.I don’t know the seem very narrow to me. Really bothering my pinky toes

I only hung mine on one tree. This makes me feel betterI put the stick on this tree. It’s the thinnest tree I would ever dream of hunting from. It locked in pretty good.

It’s big. I turned around and sat my skinny ass on it. Pretty sure this could be my one stick/hybrid all in one
