Lone Wolf sit and climb disappointment

[Rumrunner69]

Here is the story. I bought the Lone Wold sit and climb about 4 years ago because I like the way it laid flat for packing and the traction belt system. Today I noticed that the belt for the climber had a large crack showing the cable inside. I cannot find a replacement traction belts anywhere since Lone Wolf went out of business. I should have bought a Summit. Does anyone know where I can buy new belts?

Lone Wolf is still in business they just don’t make climbers anymore.. I’d still call em and ask

I would think the xop traction belt would be the same .

a phone call to custom gear would probably get you an answer

I bought the lone wolf II climber a few years ago. Seat climber is very uncomfortable and I had to modify it with my own version of stirrups. However, the platform is very stable and good to use on smooth bark trees. I now use the platform with a summit hand climber for one of my hunting spots. Should of just stuck with Summit.

Almost drank the Kool Aid myself yrs ago during the Lone Wolf craze….lightweight, lays flat, comfort, yada yada….luckily I came to my senses and stuck with the tried and true, Built to Last, Summit Viper. I will keep an eye out for one of those bands for you. Would there be a way to convert it somehow to be like a summit n make it compatible w a cable like they use?

The xop traction belts will work

Lone Wolf Custom Gear just announced they will start selling replacement traction strap very shortly.

Built to last? My LW Climber is 14 years old, with very heavy use. I have not replaced  one single part yet.

As mentioned above lone wolf custom gear just unveiled a climber. They will use traction belts that are a direct replacement for the old line wolfs specifically to address the non existent availability for replacement parts

Love my Lone Wolf sit and climb.

I purchased the XOP bands and they do not fit my sit and climb wide.  The only way to get it to lock down is by using a rubber mallet, which I would not feel  comfortable with 25' up in the air. I am going to bite the bullet and buy a set on Ebay.
