Lay out blinds

[Da goat]

Can I get some input on good Lay out blinds . I would rather have user reviews.

I enjoy my northern flight from cabelas. The big one.

[lokidog]

I think that one is on sale right now.

Tanglefree Dead Zone is the way to go.

I have the Cabelas one with the 10" waterproof bottom and love it especially when my buddies are getting wet and I'm toasty and dry.

That's the same reason I went with the NF. That waterproofing is worth it.

I use a FA pro guide XL. I'm not a big guy so there's plenty of room for me and my gear to hide. It's a comfortable and durable blind. However it can be stubborn to set up in the cold and dark.  Also mine is about 7' long and 3' wide but doesn't fold in half. It can be a pain to carry out in the field. On the plus side, I have used it as a stretcher with another guy to carry decoys into a field.  I'd suggest shopping all the suggested brands to find what matches your needs, then look for it used. Good luck, its a fun way to hunt!

I have the Rogers Goosebuster. Cheap, light, low profile and has nice straps to backpack in with. Downside is that it's kinda small so not as comfortable as others with more space to move around in and you have to stay pretty still to keep the doors from moving around when birds are working. Overall I like it and will probably not get a new one for a while.

Cabelas mobile 1. Low profile, packable, can stuff decoys inside it.

I hunted out of a Northern Flight today and loved it. It was my first time in a layout and the NF kept me dry and kept the wind off. It also has a ton of loops that I stuffed with clumps of the surrounding grass. It dressed up great. Netted us two geese and a green head today.

Finisher blind by Avery. Proof that it's a great blind by the amount sold. More of those have been sold than any other blind. I love mine and so do the other 3 guys I hunt with.

Final Approach xlander is my favorite one I have been in a while. I don't think they make them anymore. I have also been in an Avery Finisher blind which I found to be a solid blind. I own a FA pro guide which is nice but it doesn't pack up at all. I also own a Cabelas blind which honestly is the worst piece of waterfowl equipment I have bought. The fabric seems to small for the blind so the doors don't close all the way when no one is even in it. Also the snow cover doesn't fit. It's packed in the back of my garage and try to borrow a buddies before I even consider bringing out.

I own an older Cabelas blind with the waterproof bottom. It's been great, though would be too large to backpack in with. Being dry and mostly windproof has made some nasty days much more tolerable, and don't forget about that Cabelas warranty. If you will be backpacking see Colin's suggestion on the Rogers product.

I also have a Tanglefree blind for the dog. I bought it on sale and it works, but had I paid full price I would be irked. All of this stuff comes from overseas, it just seems like the smaller outfits don't pay as close attention to QC, or can't afford to have someone up the manufacturers butt to make sure QC is dialed in all the time. (Comment based off of my dog blind, their entry level dekes, as well as the fully flocked Mallards I've seen)

Someone suggested an Avery blind and they were bought out by Banded at the end of Summer. I've always viewed Banded gear the same as the rest of the smaller importers, kind of the Kia-Hyundai/Harbor Freight/dollar store of hunting equipment. Even if the quality is now better you're supporting this guy:

I have 4 of the FA Pro Guides.  Great blinds and the most comfortable ones that I have used.  Only draw back is if you have to go very far with them, they can be a pain.

I have an Avery power hunter. I like it because it is low profile so it is really easy to hide. Easy to load it with stuff and it has backpack straps.
