Nice review! I bought some straps from Voile straps. They aren’t as stretchy as the one that comes with them but I like them. I use 2 to hold my sticks together and a longer one to attach them to my LWCG .5. Good luck this season!
Like mine! They stack just fine. Take last stick in the stack and wrap the cord around the cleats opposite of the stored cord. This will pull the bottom stick towards the upper stick nice and tight. Lope the rope aider on top and use the rubber strap to hold them in place.
Got mine late last week, aiders showed about 4 days later. Got sticks delivered in less than two weeks from order. 4 sticks w ropes = 5.1 lbs They seem very solid, very quiet on tree and under load. Mine came w the rubber strap, still could maybe use the stealth strip kit. They barely tap when put together if the strap isn’t super tight in center. I would order another strap but can’t find them on their website. Maybe one strap on each end. Will try to get the genisis kit as well. Just wish he had a 4 stick kit instead of ordering 2 entire kits. Super happy here, saddles are solid as well.
My strap they provided broke after 7 sits. They are sending me another one. But I found some others that work great. Voile straps. I use two 20 inch ones to hold the sticks together and a 25 inch to hold the sticks to my LWCG .5. So far no complaints. They don’t stretch as much as the one they provide but they work. Fairly priced and several colors to choose from. Hope that helps!
Love mine as well. Transitioned from a climber to hang on with sticks this year and wanted a light mobile setup. These are perfect for that goal. Highly recommend the Stick Stack Stow system for these as well, from Genesis 3D printing--helps keep them together and prevent banging noises when setting up.
I like mine so far. They pack pretty well on my JX3 with them stacked vertically on the back with the leg straps ran through the standoffs. I think people can’t get past the plastic look and feeling of them. I like that there’s no moving parts and the rope system is simple. They’re also made in the USA. Reasonably priced compared to others. But I would order from Scheels or somewhere other than directly from Latitude. Shipping through them was 2-3 weeks. Got mine from Scheels, with free shipping, in 3 days.
The latitude ss sticks do sell a bungie piece that can be putt on to lock in place, otherwise just use those stiff rubber ties. That works great for me, also when synching on tree. You might want to have the backside of the rope higher and not parallel to tree. I also added camo stealth silencer tape to contact areas to dampen the noise
