Providing stability and comfort for the long haul, the Hawk Helium Pro Hang-On is a lightweight, portable stand for the mobile hunter. Weighing in at just 12 pounds, the aluminum-framed stand boasts three-inches of Hawk memory foam which conforms to the body. All contact points are welded, meaning the platform is fully squeak-free, and includes self-lubricating teflon washers between metal-to-metal contact points. Finally, to ensure stability, the Helium Pro comes standard with Tree-Digger teeth, to bite and grip bark, and even can be used with the Hawk Cruzr Bracket to ease hanging.
