Default Sub Zero Tundra 4-man ice hut, are they any good?

Hi, I'm thinking of buying one of these ice tents and was wondering what kind of experiences other people have had with them first before I get one. Any feedback would be appreciated

If I use the gift certificates I have it would only cost about $150.00 new in the box but I can't decide between it or anothre kit style one that I would have to build

I bought the 4 man a week ago and used it for the first time this weekend , setup was simple , it was snowing and blowing outside and if you didnt look out the window you would not have known , windows are great , heats easily a big improvement over the norseman tent I have been using for 20 odd years. tons of room for 2 or 3 not sure about 4 but could easily see 4 pers if you play with hole placement . Very Happy

Buy it! You'll love yourself for it

Seriously, the pop-up tents are awesome. They pack down to a reasonable size and are fairly light for easy transport. You can stand it up in less than a minute by yourself, even when it's windy. Throw a heater in on the cold days and you're laughing. Can't say enough good things about these tents, regardless of manufacturer.

The Sub Zero is a good unit, and is a really comfy size for two guys, and not too bad for 3 if you have your holes placed properly. Windows are good material, and the zippers seem sturdy. Really, it's just a rebadged Ice Cube
