I asked Clam if their shelters are waterproof. Here's their response.
"I just followed up with our engineers. They stated that we do not advertise our ice shelters as waterproof and depending on if it is a thermal or non-thermal shelter there is a either a clear or black polyurethane coating applied on the inside of the material. We do not tape the seams of our ice shelters either so I would not say waterproof but rather water resistant."
In my opinion it's absolutely a step above what most consider a tent to be. I have spent many a miserable night in a tent flapping in the wind or stuck confined in a small place waiting for a storm to subside. I no longer care what the weather is doing when I use my Shiftpod. They have plenty of room inside and I would feel very comfortable in one if I had to live for an extended period of time.
I can’t get over how easy it is to set up or take down, how much room it has, how weatherproof it is, or how much happier I am in it than I was in an OzTent, FlipPac or FWC.
I inquired through their webmail and didn’t get much of a response. I asked if they did a 5-sided shelter if it was possible given the mechanics of the way they fold. I also asked for confirmation that such a shelter would be in the 8-9 foot range, assuming the same panel size. They didn’t answer, except to say they have their product line set until 2020 but that exciting things are coming.

I hear you Chris. Pretty easy for a finger just to fall down on the right button on the mouse when you see a BUY IT NOW! I have to get daily injections to prevent me from buying radio equipment on Ebay when I see those 3 words.
They have certainly made some nice upgrades in the last year or two. I'm sure you are going to love it. One of the biggest things I notice when I'm alone in there I feel like I just moved into a new house and still have to buy the furniture because there is so much room.
