XOP- X2 Hunting Climbing Steps - Double Step Climbing Sticks for Hunting

Very nice sticks. Love mine. Light strong and easy to use.

The distance is perfect for me step to step I'm 5"6 240lbs and I climb with aiders. Able to get about 21" up. Weight is a tiny bit heavy but it isn't bad to pack around. Very functional, even after taking the straps off it sticks to the trees itself. The steps are not too far apart, and packs okay. Wished it packed tighter but it works. Pretty loud being aluminum, just use some hockey tape or silencing tape and you're good to go.

Absolutely love these sticks the only complaint I have is they are a little loud other than that they are light and very well made this is my second season using these

I have used these a couple of times now. They are super stable on the tree. The straps that come with these work but I prefer to not have metal and will swap them out with rope mods. Extremely easy to use and set up. I love the design of the steps that make it really easy to add aiders, straps, etc.

Update to my first review 11/3/25: I returned the original order that was missing the cam straps, etc (see below) and bought the 3pk and a separate two step aider to lighten up the system even more. This is my first time using sticks like this, and my first Saddle hunting system (I'm using the XOP Mutant/Invader saddle/plaform). I have hunted with them 5 times now on 4 different diamter trees. These are great sticks! I researched them all before buying and for the price, weight, etc they are tough to beat to get you into the saddle hunting game. They stick out really far from the tree which is nice for climbing and nest together really well. The texture is rough on the steps which is nice for grip, but be careful getting your saddle/bridge/linemany ropes, etc stuck on them when climbing/descending cause they are sharp. The sticks and strap clasps are easy to bang together and it sounds like an alarm clock going off in quiet morning woods so be mindful of that when using and practice alot. I wrapped my sticks in quiet tape and bought some Amsteel straps from TheAmsteelGuy.com... that saved more weight and quieted everything down alot. Aside from the first order's issues, I would highly recommend these. ______________________________________ Sticks look great and are lightweight but they showed up missing the cam straps The sticks showed up just loose in the box and werent in any packaging and were all banged up and scratched. It appears these were a used return they sent me at full price which is a bummer... Plus without the cam straps they're useless unless I buy more. They are advertised as being included. I created a return and re-ordered so hopefully they'll show up with everything needed. If they do, and they work good I will update the review to a better rating... I also purchased the Mutant saddle/Invader platform combo and that arrived new, in a box with everything... Hoping the Sticks were just an error.

Great product, lightweight, extremely sturdy, and stick to the tree once set. Fully trust these sticks to never fail me. Height without aider is around ~15 feet (with a two step aider 20’ no problem). Only complaint would be the buckle style straps, would recommend upgrading to rope mod style straps.

Super easy to use and light weight!! My boyfriend loves these.

High quality. Great functionality. Good size. Comfortable to work with.

I’ve been using these as my primary sticks for 2 yards and they are fantastic but I would definitely recommend if you buy these throw in some stealth tape cause they are loud also ditch the cam buckles cause they’re heavy
