I have an Eskimo 949i and bought the zippered bag for it that wasn't the original. Ebay says it's not available anymore so I can't share what it was, but MAN is it an upgrade! No more trying to stuff everything into a bag from one end!

Yep, the packing Eskimo shelters back in the bags REALLY sucks. I've been thinking about taking it to Gartners to see if he can put a side zipper on it.

I thought of taking my DoubleBull blind case to Gartners and have them add 10” to the circumference. They must roll the hub blinds up with a 10 ton press before putting them in the case. Probably a Chinese joke on us…

I have a 949I and don’t have much trouble bagging it. The strap I tighten the middle with before bagging helps considerably.

Had 949i's for years as well and the bagging did suck. Got an Otter Vortex Pro Lodge. That open door is sooo nice compared to the 949's and the otter goes in the bag easily. I also believe the Otter may be a bit warmer and has less condensation possibly? Both are good, but if anyone is buying new, I would get the full door in either Eskimo or Otter.
