I am going to purchase one of the new Clam Nanook ice shelters and need some feedback about paying the extra $100.00 and getting the new nanook thermal with deluxe seats or the plain nanook without the new thermal roof, thanks for any feedback

The thermal roof will save you the dripping water on your head when it is cold and you run your heater on high. I dont kow how you feel about dripping condensation, so I couldnt tell you if it is worth a hundred bucks to you. I am seriosly thinking of selling my Voyager and getting a thermal cap of the same model. I get sick of the drip.

the nanook has similar dimensions to the guide right? i love the price point for an insulated flip-over, but i was hoping it would be closer to the size of the yukon or voyager.

Just get a thermal Yukon or Voyager then.

fishwiz4 · « **Reply #4 on:** Oct 11, 2009, 03:49 PM »

i dont think i have ever seen a thermal voyager before.

The Yukon is marketed as the Yukon TC, the Voyager is called the Voyager TCX. The top is quilted but the sides are not.

I just decided this week that I'm going with the Nanook 2 seater thermol i'm looking forward to a season using this unit, I have only seen pictures anyone sit in one that is setup is there good room for 2 guys and room in front once your sitting to place heater and flasher? can't wait!

rtibbs48 · « **Reply #7 on:** Oct 21, 2009, 06:29 PM »

No one has any in stock yet down this way, can only go by the pictures but it shows 20 sq. feet of fishable area in front of the seat.I am also leaning toward the thermal nanooks but would like seat in one first to if see there is plenty of room for my son and I,I fish alone most of the time and the nanook themal is about 90 lbs.the extra room would be nice.called Bass pro and they didn't have any ideal when they would be coming in. said they could order one.

yes same here on back order, i did the measurements on the floor at home and placed seats where they would go and compared it to my friends 2 seat flip clam and it looks very roomy for a 2 seater i think this unit will be great for 2 guys i like the idea of a door in the back as well, think i will go with this unit

TravP · « **Reply #9 on:** Oct 21, 2009, 07:25 PM »

Its the same size as the guide.

Northern Manitoban · « **Reply #10 on:** Oct 21, 2009, 07:46 PM »

thanks

what price are you looking at for the thermol here in Canada $500 the other model is $399, i think it would be worth the 100 extra

rtibbs48 · « **Reply #11 on:** Oct 21, 2009, 07:49 PM »

Same price as the Otter, $399.00 for the nanook thermal,$299.00 without the thermal.

Are the seats the same in the regular Nanook and Nanook Thermal? I've seen people and places say that the Nanook Thermal has the deluxe padded swivel seats, but I don't know what to believe.

rtibbs48 · « **Reply #16 on:** Oct 22, 2009, 11:12 AM »

According to the web site,The thermal comes with deluxe padded swivel seats

All I see on the Clam website is that it says that it comes with padded swivel seats. It says the same thing for the regular Nanook and does not mention the deluxe seats.

ShawnR · « **Reply #18 on:** Oct 22, 2009, 11:35 AM »

Update: I just received an e-mail from Clam stating that the Nanook and Nanook Thermal have the same seats (swivel seat with backrest). No mention of the deluxe.

rtibbs48 · « **Reply #19 on:** Oct 22, 2009, 02:21 PM »

Bass Pro, In features listed for the thermal nanook, states it has the deluxe seats. don't know who to believe, will have to see one in person, petty good when you want to buy something you can.t even get the right answer.

Northern Manitoban · « **Reply #20 on:** Oct 22, 2009, 05:11 PM »

as far as i know the seats are the same for both units a padded seat is a padded seat unless the Thermol ones recline

ShawnR · « **Reply #21 on:** Oct 27, 2009, 12:30 PM »

Did anyone find out yet which seats the Nanook Thermal has? I have yet to see one. Are the seats the same as the regular Nanook? I would like to see this cleared up as many websites are reporting that the Nanook Thermal has the deluxe seats.

crappiekid24 · « **Reply #22 on:** Oct 27, 2009, 03:45 PM »

I know the seats in the Nanook are not the same as the gray swivel seats. Atleast the one that I sat in had different seats. They were smaller in size. I dont know if there is a difference in seats between the thermal and non thermal.

Hard Ice · « **Reply #23 on:** Oct 28, 2009, 04:53 AM »

The seats in the nanook are the padded swivel seats with a back rest not deluxe ! Hope that helps you .

Thank you Hard Ice. That was the answer I was looking for! I didn't see anywhere where Clam reported that the Nanook thermal seats were Deluxe, but there are many websites out there that do report the thermal as having the deluxe seats. It's good to have that cleared up.

Skipper,

I emailed Clam at the end of last season, they said that you can buy the insulated canvas for the voyager.

The Clam Thermal X will fit, (according to them) or you can buy the Voyager canvas with the insulated cap.

If you're going to spend the money, you might as well get the canvas with the insulation throughout.

This would save some money compared to buying a completely new Voyager.

Hope this helps,

Wiener

Was at bass pro here in Toronto last week and saw the nanook thermal. It has the same dimensions and specs as the special ordered clams that bass pro got clam to make last year. Only diff is the bass pro thermal model last year had a bench instead of 2 seats. Picked up one myself last year. And I like the bench better then seats. Not sure if bass pro plans on ordering anymore this year from clam but here is a pic of the thermal one i got last year.

Redclam nice setup, are you almost able to stand up in that clam? and is it roomy enough for 2 guys, how much room once sitting down do you have in front, like is there lots of room for heater flasher and still have 2 holes to fish

Redclam · « **Reply #29 on:** Oct 29, 2009, 06:46 PM »

Its the same size as the nanook. With the bench i have fit 3 in tightly while perch fishing and 2 if laker or whitefish fishing. U do have to bend over a bit the ceiling is around 5ft but that makes it easier to heat aswell as i have found i rarely need to stand during a day of fishing. The bench is alot more comfortable then seats too. Great for stretching out a bit when solo fishing. I have the fishtv and have drilled 4x10inch holes while perching, one for the camera and 3 for holes to fish from aswell as a vex and a single burner coleman stove for heat and cooking a warm meal. So i think there is ample room. But then again its up to how big or small u r. I'm only 5'7" and weigh only 160lbs. The thermal makes a big diff if ur doing overnights for crappie and wallies. And when pike fishing with tipups i use it as a wind blocker, but many times i just use the bench to sit on without setting up the clam so i don't have to stumble in and out of the clam if a tipup is set off.
