Tide We hunting blinds

[biggamefish]

Anybody have any info On these? I was in the market for a new blind and these have good reviews. I watched a couple of video reviews and they all seemed ok. One did say that Tide We were asking people to review and would give them gear but they couldn't say anything negative.

The price was right on them so I bought one and it should be here today. I am going to try to set it up so I will have my own review shortly and will try to let you guys know what I think.  I am comparing it to barronett that i  have and my ameristep blind.

Did you get one of the ones with the 360 degree see through mesh? I was looking at them to replace an older Cabela's blind that didn't survive a wind storm. I'll be watching this thread to see how you like it.

These always struck me as a scam.  The marketing and price point made me think of temu type stuff where the price might be appealing but it shows up and is missing a side or is 4 sizes smaller than I expected.

Don't think I've ever heard of them.  

Looking forward to your initial review.

The see thru are intresting....I have read deer will be able to see movement but turkeys cant....not sure the reasoning.

We just added a see thru blind to a section of hemlock the other day aand when the sunlight peaks thru the canopy you can definitely see into the blind. Outta be am interesting experiment!

This is what I thought to. This is one of the reviews I watched that made me give it a try. I will try to take pictures tonight outside and inside. We will see.

I'm keeping an eye on this because I'm interested in your thoughts once you get it setup.

I have never purchased a Tidewe blind. But I have purchased waders, and a couple other things. And I've found that the Tidewe quality is very good for the price point.

Will also follow this thread to see how you like the blind.

i have some of their waders. They are kinda what you think they are, china made and sold, lower end on quality, but for the price they're not bad. Generally I'd say good bang for your buck.

I will never buy another tidewe product. I bought some rubber boots ,when they arrived the tread was not even close to aggressive as the picture showed. I contacted them and explained I would like to send them back and exchange for a different model. No problem they said ,I would have to cover the shipping and I would only get 75 percent of the cost for tje original boots towards a different model.

Alot of people are saying it would have been the best deal around. They said how did you get such a great deal.

So I got the blind set up.  Overall I like the blind.

Set up was a little more difficult than expected.  You really have to pull up while standing on two corners. This does make the roof nice and tight though. I dont think water puddles in the roof will be a probelm.  After i got the roof pulled out then the sides pulled out easy. The roof was just alot harder than i thought it should be. Made me nervous pulling it so hard.

The blind doesn't have a zippered door. It has magnets and a buckle. Which opening and closing is silent. The door overlaps plenty so light seepage doesn't seem to be a problem.  It will fit 2 people tightly. With long bows and recurves you are going to have to be aware of you limb tips. Compounds and guns no problem.

There window slides are pretty cool they seem to work well and are silent. (Last picture). They have hooks to keep the windows down or up.

I took a couple pictures inside and out. My son is in the one and I had him jump around in there with the back door open and couldn't see anything but his head that was bobbing in the window. So the see through fabric seems to work well one way.

The fabric is the 300 which did make it 10  dollars more but I think it was worth it. 

Overall I am happy with it specially for the price.

 Thanks for the initial review. 

This is different than the one in the video you posted.  V shaped windows instead of the full length rectangle windows. 

It's the windows I liked over the double bull windows.

Curious as if a buddy heater would work in it.
