Anyone got stuff from these guys. Their blind can be had for 50 bucks and seems very much like my rhino 360.

Yes. I got a rangefinder. Works great. Accurate but didn't try it past 100yrds yet. Really don't need it past 30 though. I dropped it a couple times and seems rugged. It's rechargeable and didn't need to charge it yet.

I got a bunch of FB ads from Tidwe and the cheapest I saw their blind with a coupon code was like $95. I considered it, but also heard that if you happen to get into direct sun your figure can be seen from the outside. No-go for me....I bought a smaller Baronette on sale locally for $119

I have some hip waders. They are ok and still don’t leak after a few years of very light use. The strap buttons that keep them up broke almost immediately so I just started tying them to my belt. I just use them very seldomly to quickly cross small rivers

Bunch of people I know have used Tidewe. Rangefinder great things heard, vest great things, I also had a couple of guys last hunting season each had the packs. One had a frame pack and the other the larger regular pack and they loved the packs.

As far as I can tell, it's just great cheap gear for getting you out there hunting.

Quality lacks compared to top name brands obviously, but the price does come in at very reasonable amounts to make it worth it IMO.

I genuinely thought the company was some sort of Ali express overseas knock off gear but now I'm seeing their podcast and social media. I'm sure it's a hint of good marketing as well but it seems to be decent stuff? Maybe like Piscifun in the fishing world. It was an Amazon brand that exploded and is now sold at Academy and other stores.

Tidewe and Piscifun merged last year not sure of the details.
and I love my Piscifun bait casting reels the 50 and 60, and just bought their new catfish rod, but have not caught anything over 30lbs, so the verdict is still out they are having a big sale right now

92lbs in April
Piscifun Chaos 50 or 60 , cannot remember
65 J-braid with 80lb whisker seeker mono leader and WS 8/0 triple threat hook
TWC M/H 7ft pole

A buddy had some decent waders from them that were like $60, bought a pair for my son who won’t get a season out of them before he outgrows them. I then bought their 270 degree see through blind last year for around $100. It’s of comparable quality as my non see through muddy blinds that I bought for about the same price. The see through mesh is awesome, and it hides well. I had a 3 minute 13 yard staring contest with a decent 6 point my first sit in it. Only blind I’ve ever set up and dragged from in the same day. YMMV

You guys wanna try a cheaper company try bassdash. I bought their camo waders after my 15 year old simms finally failed and I couldnt stomach the price for something I wear 3x a year these days. Every time I put those waders on someone asks me who makes them and theyre every bit as nice as my simms.

As someone who has experience with Amazon selling. Tidewe and Rhino likely are the exact same product made in the exact same factory in China. Different brands just pay the factories to slap different logos on them, its like a 2% upcharge to get your logo. That’s why so many different brands on Amazon look the same. Because they literally are. Rhino may have way more reviews bc they’ve been around longer. People often base purchases on reviews alone. That may explain price difference

Frankly I have 2 of their blinds and they are great for the money.Light.easy set up,starting the second season soon.Didn't know that Piscifin and Tidewe merged.The Piscifin reels are selling like crazy and am hearing only good things so far.I'm talking about their 300 and 400 series bait casters used primarily for muskie.

I have 3 Tidewe blinds I use for my young kids. The first one had a few defects so I called them with pics and they immediately replaced it for free and let me keep the defect blind. I left a positive review and they offered to send me a 3rd blind if I just covered the shipping. Can't beat that.

They are very lightweight, but are as tough as any of them. The window slides are smooth and silent.

Also have a 270 see-through blind bought for this spring for bow turkeys and getting started, again ;), with grandkids. Decent quality, easy setup and takedown, see-through is pissah compared to old blinds, bag isn't really for backpacking but works OK.
