I am in the process of researching deer blinds and wanted to see what everyone's thoughts were on the pro's and con's of each of the materials. It seems that each year I buy 2 new pop up blinds to the tune of about $250 because I just never seem to make the time to take them down and store them. They are great for concealment and keeping the rain off you but they don't do much to keep you warm and I think a more sturdy structure would create a better hunting experience for my wife and kids.

I would greatly appreciate your thoughts and recommendations.
