This is an excellent blind and well worth the money. There are plenty of shooting windows. The smaller windows zip down which allow you to change the height to whatever is needed. The larger windows aren't as easily adjustable, but can be folded and pretty much stay in place at any level. This blind can be setup faster than any I've seen. I haven't used the blind in the rain yet, but the heavier material would appear to withstand water much better than other blinds I've seen. The blind is heavier than some blinds, but with the weight often comes quality. The only negative features I see with the blind is the carrying straps and stakes. The "harness" system should be much larger. The average guy cannot get this over his shoulders especially with a turkey vest on. The stakes are too small to really hold in sandy / soft soil. Other than these minor details, this is an excellent blind and will make your time in the field much more enjoyable.

I'm very happy with my Primos Eclipse Blind. When I first pulled it out I was a little set back for it had a strong smell (new canvas smell) and was thinking I would spook the deer. To counter the strong smell I purchased Primos Repellent with Earth Blend. This serves two purposes it seals and protects the canvas and adds some cover scent. I applied the sealer on a sunny fall day in the yard and the next day I placed it in the woods. I was very happy with the size, window configuration, and how easy it was to set up. The loops for adding natural cover work very well. My blind has been in the woods for a week now and the deer don't even know it's their. My trail cam is taking the same amount of pictures as it was before the blind was placed. The deer are just starting to rut and I have two new scraps within 30 yards of the blind. I've always been a tree stand guy but with my son starting to hunt I thought I'd give blinds a try so he didn't have to climb trees. I am sure warming up to blinds or at least I am to this one.

I am thouroughly enjoying this blind. Quick easy setup. Less than a minute.
Lots of room. Great material for the price.
I have had several deer come within feet of the blind.
I only have 2 complaints though. the Zippers are extremely Noisy and the meshing makes it tough to see.
I have the sunrise in the morning and the sheen of the sun off the mesh makes it almost impossible to see out of.
I find myself leaving the top unzippered and standing up while hunting to look around, Looking through the mesh can be difficult. Tough to see my peep in early morning and early evening conditions.
I will use a different setup next year so the sun isnt in my face.

I have used this blind for the 2010 deer season. It's great since you can put it anywhere you want. I had 3 kids in there with me the last time i went out. My purpose was to get something to enjoy hunting & being able to bring the kids. It doesn't silence the noise but had more than enough room for all of us. I would definitely recommend this blind to anyone. A great buy at the price i got it for!!!

This is a nice roomy blind. Plenty of windows and overall a good product especially for the low price. The only negative is the velcro screens which are very noisy to open and close.

I purchased this blind based on price as well as reviews. First time setting up was in my basement under controlled conditions. It was big enough for me and 2 of my children to enter and sit comfortably. I am 5' 6" and 250 pound (stocky), one son is 6'4" and slim build, the other is 42" and around 50 lbs. Total success, lots of room and pretty easy to set up and take down. Second set up was with a hunting buddy and 2 bows. My friend is approximately 350 lbs and large build. Seats used for this test were 5 gallon pails upside down. Blind was roomy enough for us both to shoot from the windows (no shoot through screens in place.) Blind held up well although the door was a smidgen tight for my buddy. All in all this blind passed our tests and windows performed well for our particular needs. Shoot through screens were not used for either test but the widows had acceptable levels of view and shooting space for archery. Blind was roomy and comfortable. Set up and take down were quick and easy. Final test will be this hunting season in potential adverse weather. I feel confident in the use of this blind once the waterproofing and seams are sealed properly.

Pro's: Easy and fast set up, very roomy, adequate window size.
Cons: to this blind would have to be the zippers are kinda noisy and the velcro is very noisy.
I would like to see hunter orange squares available for this item as a top cover as is required by my state. 1' x 1' per side.
Larger stakes for securing to ground.

All in all a fine purchase now we will see how durable it is over this hunting season.

I went with this blind as it looked like the best deal for the money, and I wasn't disappointed! I've used it several times this season, and it goes up quickly and easily, had plenty of room in side and the windows give you enough options to pull off a shot without too much difficulty. High quality material looks to last a long time.

Used this blind one time and the zippers broke. The pulls broke in half and fell of the zipper now the windows stay open all the time.

Have not used the Ground Blind yet but Amazon was great in there prompt shipment, and their price was great. what i have seen of this ground blind it seems to be exactly what i wanted, easy to set up, heavy duty fabric and large enough for 2 adults to use at one time .

Good quality other than the first one i purchased had problems with the zipper. So far this one has done well and has plenty of room for me and my family.
