well let me know how u like it. i have narrowed it down to these three so far just due to portability and cost and overall workablility

Sport Utility Blind by far. Not only will it collapse, fold a little, has awesome structure, comfort, and has nice space; the blind has sweet pins that help with set-up and take down. As opposed to the ground force with screws on the flaps and harder to use braces that can be a pain in the cold. SUB's are also a good way to catch up on sleep in, too.

I too have narrowed my choices down to the same three. I am leaning more to the sub. I want a blind that I can put a small butane heater, kinda like one of these. http://cabelas.com/cabelas/en/content/Item/51/45/31/i514531sn03a.jpg

that sounds dangerous. i would kick it getting in and out of my blind and arent most blind materials flammable???

My next blind is the Xlander also. And yes most blind materials are FLAMMABLE! says it right in the directions and on the support poles in the blinds. Macks PW has heated seat covers for your lay out blinds and they are RECHARGABLE!

Just have to button up tight and take the weather for a while. I always look at it like this, when we are done I can go home to the heater!

SUB. i sold my finisher for one of these and love it. its got a lower profile and the damn head rest cant pop out like the finisher. its lots more comfortable as well even for a bigger guy like me. best advice i can give is find a store that has a bunch of them set out for people to try.

I have one and dislike how hard the pins are to get in at O dark 30 6 of them. At least they are on straps so you do not loose them.

I researched the xlandr and that is the one I am going to get. I like the fact I can carry other things in it.

You may want to hold off and take a look at the Pro-Land'R and the new SUB which folds up smaller now!!!!

Don't get me wrong...the X-Land'R is my go to blind day in and day out. Great blind!!! Super packable, ultra easy set-up, can carry silos, blind bag, gear, etc. in the blind while it's on your back, etc. But if you are looking for a bit more room...take a peak at the Pro-Land'R and the new SUB!!!

As for the X-Land'R....I am 5'10 and 210lbs...and I have plenty of room in it with bibs and a heavy coat on.

As for when the new SUB will be out...looking at dealers getting theirs somewhere around June/July.
