This winter i bought my first ever shelter. I purchased the Eskimo 949i due to all the positive feedback that i've read on here about them. So far, i haven't been disappointed. After talking with the sales person @ Cabelas's in Calgary, she also told me that for customer service, you can't beat Eskimo. I had asked her about the Cabelas's brand of shelters, and she stated that even though they are a descend tent the customer service isn't as good compared to the Eskimo company. After reading a ton of comments about alot of different tents, i'd have to say imo that otter/ jason mitchell seems to be the best, eskimo/cabelas/frabill/clam followed by cheaper brands. It's like the old saying goes "You get what you pay for". I've read about some guys having issues with their eskimo tents, and all i could suggest is keep in contact with the company and make sure that your satisfied. If you do get crappy service on something, the best thing to do is spread the word.
