For context, I got these mostly for the stabilizer straps. Not so much the shoulder straps. If you use a climbing stand, stabilizer straps should be a non-negotiable part of your gear, just like a safety harness. As I'm sure you already know, always wear some kind of safety harness. But after 20+ years of climbing stands, I am now convinced that stabilizer straps are *almost* as important as a safety harness. Seriously, lock down that stand!I'm a bowhunter that uses a lone wolf hand climber, just like the product picture. Previously, I used a set of metal cam buckle tie down straps for stabilizers. Those things can be a pain to feed the strap into the buckle, especially in the dark and with gloves on. And the metal buckle will always find a way to clank into something when walking, setting up, or breaking down.These stabilizer straps are surprisingly good. The straps are made of quality webbing - probably about 1.5" wide. The thickness seems more than enough for the job; they are not thin and flimsy. I didn't see any concerns with the stitching. Most surprisingly, is that the webbing is actually very smooth - smoother than most seat belts.I was worried that the plastic snap buckle would be too flimsy for the load. I like to cinch my stabilizer straps down really good. I haven't tested them in the tree yet, but I'm not really worried about these snap buckles. They've got good thickness and strength to them. The buckle engages with a solid snap. There isn't any wiggle-room or torquing the buckle. I'm reasonably confident that they won't have any problems holding the load. And, best of all, they will be MUCH quieter than my old metal cam buckles, and they will be MUCH easier to fasten in the dark and with gloves on. (Though you might want to practice doing it to avoid an audible SNAP when the buckle engages.)The stabilizer straps are way longer than you will ever need. I fully plan to cut them down to an appropriate length, melt the cut ends, and tie in a stop knot. This isn't a bad thing, just an observation.For the shoulder straps, I am sure they would work fine, but they're not my cup of tea. They have the same quality webbing, which is even slightly wider than the stabilizer straps. The plastic hardware is plenty thick enough and good quality. I am curious whether the shoulder pads would actually stay in place. My main concern with the shoulder straps is whether they would be thick enough to avoid digging into your shoulders, especially if your stand is heavy or if you strap any extra weight onto your stand while walking in/out of your spot. That being said, if you currently use the bare-bones nylon straps that came with your stand, I'm sure these would a step up. But they're not going to compete with proper load-distributing shoulder straps (e.g., old ALICE pack straps).If I have any problems after next season, I will update with details. Honestly though, I don't expect to have any issues.

Way more strapes than i needed
