Eskimo 450 i
« on: Aug 15, 2019, 09:48 AM »
Bought an Eskimo 450 I yesterday. I really like the idea with the full door. For those that have used them. What did you like and dislike about them ?

I have one and I love it. We have some guys that don't move around too well and the full size door is a big plus for them and for kids. The only downside is my own fault, I drive regular sized car and it doesn't fit in it with all my other gear, so I typically have to have someone come pick it up.

Holds heat well and has a lot of room. I dont have a lot of experience with other shelters, but im very happy with my purchase.

It's big and we love it.  The full size door is great and it retains heat well.  We usually run around with portables and then set that up when we find a spot with fish.

I have a fatfish 949 I thought was pretty roomy, then someone set up one of those 450i hubs near me... the 949 was dwarfed. 450i seems like its got a lot of height too, nice for 3+ people it looks like.

Thanks for the replies guys. All the affirmative votes makes me want to rush the winter season. Should be here tomorrow or Monday.
Probably set it up in driveway.
