I'm looking at an Eskimo 949i or a Clam Refuge Thermal.....anyone have experience to lend? My experience with the Eskimo QuickFish 6 was that it was hard to put back in the bag after teardown. Looking to fish with my 12 and 8 year old boys, with a friend, or alone. Definitely want the thermal for heat and condensation.
Eskimo Fatfish 949i. Clam has historically had a zipper problem with their products. No one I know can say the same about Eskimo. I run a fatfish 949i and can’t say enough good about it.

To answer the bag problem, they all suck. Mine goes in the bag at the end of the year and comes out at the beginning of the next. Night Ize cable tie or a good old fashion bungee is your friend during the season.
