I use one up in the northern zone and I really like it.  It is extremely comfortable and easy to carry.  The only time it sucks is in the rain, when it acts as a funnel and collects water from the tree you strap it to, giving you a wet backside.

One nice thing about it, is that it allows silent turning nearly 360 degrees around as long as the tree is not too big.  The last buck that I killed from it up there came in about 180 degrees from the direction that I expected.  I was able to silently turn and delever the shot with my 30/06, dropping him in his tracks.  

It is so easy to carry, you dont even realize it is strapped to your belt.  I like to still hunt and strap it to a tree in nice looking spots.  So far, I have only killed one doe up there that way, during the early ML week.

I am not sure of the brand and I bought it about 7 years ago. I see that Amazon has a similar or possibly even the same one right now for $ 29. That one is Heyeasy brand.

I bought 2 of these 4 years ago . They works terrific . Very quiet and love the ability to swivel to each side without having to swivel the gun. Very comfortable and rugged but you need to set it up for your size and shape.

The Dead Ringer brand has not been in stock for over a year. Only the chinese knockoffs are in stock. They might be ok
