It's definitely the real deal. Alotta people here seem to obsess about reducing every last bit of weight from their rigs as they can. I understand where they're coming from if they're using dinky backpack straps but the TTS makes weight irrelevant imo.

 

Does anyone know if the XOP connectors are compatible with the original Game Plan Gear version? I have the original and want to use with multiple stands.

From what I've read, XOP bought GPG and rebranded the TTS, so I would think they are compatible. I can send you pics of the XOP connectors so you can compare.

 

I started a similar thread a few weeks ago, as I found them in stock at XOP and ordered one before they were gone for the season. Last summer I read about them and mulled it over.....too long. When I started to shop for one, they were sold out and I learned my lesson. I have my LW Assault II and sticks on it to train with the weight and adjustments over the summer months. Really good product.

 

I ordered one for my Assault II and look forward to using it. A friend of mine really likes his.

I've been using the Tool Bucket the last two years and I believe this system will handle the weight better with the extra connection points and load lifter straps.

 

I have four and they work great, especially for large or heavy stands. I wire tie the back pad through the grommets of the back pad to keep the stand more stable. I think the XOP is as good as it gets but it requires the adjustments to be correct.

 

Do you wire tie the grommets of the back pad to the stand?

I had the original one from GPG for my viper. I ended up selling it when I was forced to hunt from the ground. this was a year before XOP started producing them. The TTS alone went for $185.00 on Ebay...no lie! I was sitting in a ground blind hunting and my phone was going crazy with ebay alerts!

I am healthy enough to be getting back into shape and back up into a tree this year. Just purchased the XOP version for my Assault II hang on and sticks!

 

Looks like a Molle rig to me that you can get at an army surplus store

 

I had the Molle harnesses on my stands, I bought one XOP, tried it, then bought 3 more. Night and day difference between the two. The XOP is made for treestands the Molle isn’t. But I will say next to the XOP the Molle is the next best thing. One of the big differences are the XOP has many more adjustment and you can really fine tune the fit and comfort level but it takes a bit of time to get it right.
I think the XOP really shines on larger or heavy stands/loads.

 

XOP's products are awesome! Good to hear you love your TTS.

 

I have a couple of these on my climbers. Got them when they were GPG. They work fantastic

Looks like it would make carrying a stand much more comfortable. Do these stay connected to the stand while hunting? If so, It seems that it would hold a lot of sweat in the early season and carry quite a bit of scent.:confused2:

 

Yes, they stay connected, or at least mine does. I don’t walk for enough to sweat much in mine.

 

Good to know canvas. I personally don't need it as I only carry a stand a 100 yards at most. Not a big fan of going in deep where I hunt. I go too deep I'll be in the neighbours back yard. lol :wink:

 

When using on climber do you leave it on or disconnect when climbing tree and if you disconnect what do you do with it

 

I take mine off and spray it down then leave it at the base of my tree. Sometimes I will cover it with leaves are pine needles as well.

The 2 does and 2 yearnings stuffing their faces with acorns this evening 24 yards to my right didn't seem to be bothered by it just sitting on the ground at the base of the pine tree I was 30 foot up in.

 

I have one on my Viper and it is awesome!! Probably need to get a backup!

will this work on a summit viper

 

Read the post right above yours...

 

I don't take it off my climber or my Lone Wolf hang on. IMO there is really no need to do that.

It is a great system. I have the GPG version and the newer XOP version.

 

In the warmer weather I sometimes pop mine off and toss it in the washer with sport wash. As I have gotten older I only hunt cooler weather now.

 

Anyone tried these on a Hawk Combat? I currently have Molle Straps, but they kind of ride funny on the stand.

 

I’ve had mine for a few months but finally got around to putting it on my API climber. It makes a ton of difference from what I could tell just by walking around my living room. It’s going to take a few trips to figure out the best position for the cinch straps on the shoulders and hip pad, but I’m really excited to try it out. The straps that originally came on the API were garbage and always left my back and shoulders sore from even a half mile walk.
