Quick take
An insulated pop-up shelter with an oversized trip-proof door, flared bottom for more fishable area, and gray interior for visibility inside.
The Eskimo Outbreak 850XD is a pop-up hub shelter for groups of up to nine anglers, with about 114 square feet of floor. Its flared base adds room along the walls, and the door zips down to the ice so you can walk in with gear without catching a foot. Insulated fabric and a gray interior make it a comfortable fit for long days on hard water.
