I have never been busted by a deer because of noise caused by either the tree suit or the tree saddle, any time a hunter moves in a tree stand or tree suit ot saddle their is risk of noise, the only time I hunt in a hang on stand is one or two weeks when it is very cold and I wear my heater body suit, the stand I use then is a lone wolf alpaha hang on(extremely quiet) I will always otherwise hunt in the suit or the saddle because of reduced sillouette, comfort, and ability to hunt in any tree, and I dont like leaving stands in the woods to donate to theives.
