Title: Insulated Shelters
Post by: wood99 on Jan 09, 2018, 12:27 PM

Hey Guys, Looking to upgrade to a insulated shelter currently have the Eskimo9416 and QF3 any suggestions on where to buy and what to get?  Leaning towards another Eskimo product, prob the 9416i but def open to other suggestions.  Best price I can find on that model is $430USD.

I was going to pick up a Fatfish also, but found the QuickFish 3i for $200, shipped.  I bit.  It goes up easy and has plenty of room for two guys and enough room for three.

Tight lines,
Bob

You should check out the clam thermal escape, 5 sided 11.5 ft diameter inside , I'm going to pick one up next fall

Just for the record, I am very impressed with my PolarBird 4T. Very sturdy and warm. It also lets in plenty of light which I love, but that may not be great if you prefer spearing or sight fishing in daylight hours.
