XOP 3-Step: A Revolutionary Tool for Hunters
Slide Lock Technology
The XOP 3-Step is equipped with slide lock technology, allowing you to quickly and easily transport it from one place to another.

The XOP 3-Step also comes with a heat-treated steel fast strap button, allowing you to hang it from any tree branch or sturdy object effortlessly. This feature is especially useful when hunting in areas with few trees or obstacles available for support. The steel fast strap button also provides added security, ensuring your ladder won’t slip away from its support while in use.
Arch Step Design
Another great feature of this product is its arch step design, which provides increased traction on crooked trees. This design helps ensure that your feet remain firmly planted as you climb the ladder, making for safer and more comfortable hunts overall. The steps are rated for up to 350 lbs, so even if you have extra gear, rest assured that your ladder will support it all without issue.
Pivoting XL Standoff Brackets
Finally, the pivoting XL standoff brackets offer a solid mount that can be adjusted depending on the shape of the tree branch or other object being used as a support structure. This allows for improved stability while climbing up and down the ladder – giving you peace of mind knowing that your movements won’t cause any unexpected slips or falls while hunting!

Fairly light. Very east to set up.

I am new to saddle hunting. I saw the sticks, And they fell within my budget. They are not the lightest sticks on the market, but I can tell you that they lock solid to the tree. I’m a big guy and I feel very comfortable on the sticks. They stick so good to the tree that when you take the straps off the sticks are still stuck to the tree. I am very pleased with the sticks.

I bought these to replace my Hawk 30″ sticks. I wanted shorter sticks and prefer a double step. I’ve only used these on a few hunts so far, but these are my initial impressions:
Weight is as expected. Not too heavy, but not the lightest.
Traction was not very confidence inspiring with wet boots. The Hawk steps have better grip. I’m also not in love with the convex shape in center of the step, I feel like the step would feel safer being more concave shaped. They felt a bit slippery with wet boots, but felt fine with dry boots.
The stacking system is not my favorite, but better than the Hawk suction cups. Stacking the sticks on top of each other is my preferred method, albeit, difficult while leaving the straps on the sticks. I decided to pack all my straps in a pouch and retrieve them when getting to my stand instead of trying to leave the straps on each stick when packing. The fact that you can only pack these side-by-side in pairs, as opposed to all four like the single sticks is a bit annoying. Works perfect for packing on either side of a hang-on though.
The standoffs are good, the steps don’t feel too close to the tree, plenty of room for my size 10 boots. They grip better than the Hawk standoffs.
As long as you get the cam straps level and tight, and the standoffs start out straight on the tree, I’ve not experienced any kick-out.
The tube sounds like it’s been deadened. They do “clang” when you’re not being careful, but at least they don’t sound like a steel bell like cheaper steel steps/sticks.
Overall, good buy. If the steps were a better design I’d give 5 stars.

Feel sturdy and work so well in the past a few months. I love it.

I’ve used these half a dozen times. Easy to get on tree. Solid when set with no slippage. The “nest” together well . I put them together in sets of 2 and strap them to my JX3 Saddle. Only thing I’m not crazy about is the steps have a downward curve to them. It hasn’t been an issue with secure footing but I think a straight step would make more sense. Not sure why they designed them like that. ? As I said though it hasn’t been an issue and I’m pleased with them so far .

Not the lightest sticks. They don’t attach together very well with the included black clips being noisy and stiff. They bite to the tree pretty well but the teeth rotate and squeak while setting them.

Multiple ways to pack them easy to attach to tree.

These sticks are everything they claim they are, having a step on both sides for exiting the tree stand in the dark is the safest way to go. The step distance is perfect for me at 5 foot 10 inches tall. The construction is solid, no creaks or squeaks when climbing and feel very solid on the tree. This is my first set of climbing steps, in the past used the full length sticks that were always a pain to get to your stand location along with a tree stand for setup, these are a much nicer option. With this option you can setup and hunt the same day. Way quieter then my Viper SS climbing trees stand and lighter. I recommend practicing putting them together at home in a dark room with a head lamp a few times to speed the process up for evening exits. Looking forward to trying out more XOP products in the future.
