Take a look at a Shappell FX 100, at the same price point, 600 denier fabric, 37 lbs. deeper sled, sliding bench seat.
Its got absolutely nothing on the FX 100...Seriously you would have to be blind, and brand loyal to go with the Blazer over the fx100...<°)))>{
It is 450 denier on the Blazer. also note that the Blazer does not have a seat in it. instead there is a bracket that holds a five gallon pail that you supply for your seat. for a extra $80.00 you could set up to the Blazer Stealth which is fully insulated and is 900 denier fabric. the weight on the stealth version is 42 LBS.
I added the Blazer to my collection this year. Paid $199 at Cabela's a few months ago. I am going to like this unit. It is light and I have no issue with sitting on a bucket. Told myself that I am going to move more this year. This unit is light, and construction seems to be pretty good. Will give another report in a month or so once I have had a chance to use it more. Right now, I can only review from sitting in the garage and dreaming.
Monticatgeek was correct. I just received confirmation from Clam. The Blazer is indeed 450 denier material. Not 300 like the retailers are showing.
Ha ha, I wrote that obviously before the Eagle Claw happened..<°)))>{
I bought the stealth blazer a week ago and have used it once. It went together smoothly with the help of my beautiful wife! It says it can be put together by one person but that would be very difficult. I’m still trying to figure out what type of seat I want to use. The sled is wide and low which I like. It pulled easily loaded with my clam plate and Milwaukee auger, vex, 5 gallon minnow bucket, gear bag and rod bag. 900 D is very sturdy and will give plenty of insulation. I fished in 20° weather and it was warm inside without any heater. I was concerned about the black skin making it to dark inside, but the three windows provided plenty of light. I may try to build a lightweight seat out of a swivel base and a mesh seat with a backrest. All in all very impressed with this flip over, hope to get many years of use out of it. I paid 292 total tax and shipping.
Are those the red-zippered ones?
I have an old frabill recon. The cover is pinholed and worn. I got it for free 5 years ago so I can't complain too much. I love how light it is. If I cannot economically replace the cover I am definitely considering a clam blazer. I like having no seat in the tub. I have a comfortable tripod folding chair that takes up very little space. I like the lightweight for a run and gun set up. I have a bigger shanty for when setting up shop.
I've been looking for a deal on the Blazer Stealth and have been unable to find one. Some retailers say it's out of stock for the season and the others are not offering a deal. If anyone finds a good deal on the Blazer Stealth, PLEASE let me know.
