Stbd?
Man that's a shame... Just got in from trudging through some swamps in my royal zips that I bought in 2019. Hundreds and hundreds of miles walked in them, they're covered in scratches from briars and the treads are getting worn down, but they still keep my feet dry. Gonna have to grab another pair.Well that really sucks.. View attachment 99956
Has this been mentioned? If so, I guess I missed it.

It was posted but didn’t generate much attention. All the talk was about that hybrid thing Novix announced.
The dimensions of this Raider platform are great and it’s competitively light for it’s size.
I’ve never stood on anything from the Raider lineup and have some reservations about that style of build for me. I asked if anyone had used a Raider series stand, but don’t remember much of a response.
I think it’s priced a bit high, considering the cast aluminum platforms that cost about the same.
What is it about that style of build that's got you hung up?
I'm also looking at the size to weight comparison. At almost 15x15 and under 4 pounds, that's pretty impressive.
I'm terribly indecisive over this whole platform thing. I'm torn between the EDP, the Mission, the RZR Mag 2.0, and now this. The mission would be great, but at 5.4 pounds I'm afraid I would be in the same boat as I was with the XOP Edge. I don't like climbing with that much weight hanging off my saddle. The EDP also looks good, is light weight, sturdy, I should be able to comfortably turn around on it, etc, but enter the Magnum 2.0, and it seems to ring all the bells, but not much available on it and that price tag is steep. And now this Novix, which is close to the wingman in size, but over 1.5 pounds lighter.
Decisions, Decisions.....

At the forefront, the thin metal decking slats. I’ve used cast, machined, bent aluminum w/ tube cross members, bent aluminum topped w/ grate. Each has pros and cons. The way the Raider platform is put together is new to me, so I can only anticipate how it might compare.
Yeah, it can be daunting, because there’s a lot of good stuff to choose from. But I can’t really say what will be best for you. Nobody can.
Kind of like answering what climbing stick is best, it’s not really helpful. Better to look deeply into the pros and cons of the things and prioritize needs and wants and choose for oneself. After that exercise, it’s a matter of buy and try.
Hoping it works out perfect for you off the bat.
I know someone like that; it ain't me.Yeah for sure there's alot of personal preference that goes into it. And @BackSpasm mentioned the Fix. I think I had removed it from my short list for some reason or other, but now can't remember why.
I do hope the first one I pick works out. I wish I were a wealthy man, lol. I'd buy one of each and try them all, then just give away the ones I didn't like.
