After reading all the bad reviews on the Rocker, I opted for the Alps Grand Slam. I took out the metal frame for hunting here in MS as it's usually not to tough to find a good tree. When I go to NE or KS I will probably put the kickstand frame back in. Very easy to take in and out. Love the setup of the vest as well. A place for everything and everything in it's place. Great seat cushion - very comfy. Seems to be high quality and very well constructed. I would recommend this vest to anyone.
