Default Otter xth pro lodge pop up

Hey guys . Though Id do a small review of my new OTTER XTH PRO LODGE POP UP . In just a few words I can honestly say "I love it". The shelter is very well thought out. The vertical and horizontal removable window positions give an excellent view around the shelter high or low. The Thermal Tec material is crazy warm. The no pinhole quilted thermal liner makes it nice for any type of black out fishing . Plenty of interior storage compartments including rod holders. Propane hose ports and great anchoring system . Huge over-sized semi molded storage bag . This shelter is well worth the money. Tight lines

IS there enough room for a couple of people, looks to be spacious enough?
I'm sure with the window cover shut, would be dark enough to view a underwater camera, I have an older aqua-view, and have to fashion a hood, or cover my head to camera while viewing out on the ice, with you set up, would not have to im sure!

Lots of room for 4 people. It gets black with covers on windows.
Thanks KUDUHNTR.

Yep! I'm ordering from that place on my next tents as well. Seems to carry pretty most everything.

How tall is the tent along the walls and in the centre? I find with other similar sized tents I can only stand up right in the middle (I'm 6'2), which is why I was leaning towards the Eskimo quickfish 5i. They are both roughly the same price so I would lean towards the Otter if it is tall enough.

Cabela’s sells this tent, it looks like it’s changed from last year a bit. Mine doesn’t have the lower windows and your anchoring system looks different. The only thing that I never like on mine is the skirting was a little to short. I like the idea of the new windows on yours but I think the anchoring sytem might cause tears in the tent. I ordered one for my father in-law a few weeks ago and never noticed the changes but we’ll see how it works.
