Polar Bird is one of Iceshantys generous sponsors.
I have used my new Polar Bird 2T a few times recently and its the most well made Iceshanty ive ever been in.
First impression during setup and takedown is the poles are more sturdy then any other shantys ive used, great feeling if the weather turns super windy knowing there wont be any problems.
When the insulated floor is setup it takes away any chill that may have been left of the elements. The floor is very tuff built and has a thin layer of foam and when kneeling down is very easy on the knees- I feel like I could nap on it when fishing is slow.

Its comes with a bag with all tie downs needed that you put the shanty in and wrap up with straps like a burrito, so no more dealing with frozen zippers or small bags.
