I have one, but not that brand. It's pretty cool and certainly makes hunting in a blind not feel some closed off. I have a TideWe turkey vest and it's high quality, so they do have some nice stuff. Couple of guys from Wisconsin started the company. It's still Chineses made stuff, but their direct to consumer model makes things very affordable.

I had one. Wind storm destroyed it which really wasn't the blinds fault as it was extremly high wind and I didn't have it anchored really right. They are a cool blind and not bad for the money. Downside to the see through design is it let's alot of light in. That allows deer when they are able to see in a open window to see you moving easier. I usually prefer in a blind to have them tucked in and about all windows closed so it is dark. Makes it harder for the deer to see you. This blind is great though if you are in a spot where they may be coming behind you.

Levi has one. Also not that same brand. Scent control needs to be on point because it drafts. But it is a neat experience, like how we like to hunt then from the ground.
A former acquaintance hunted out of one and was a smoker (not while hunting) he got busted on the regular in it, where in conventional he said he never had that problem, we were in the same hunting camp.
 
I have one.

Few thoughts from a couple years of use-
You'd be amazed at how well it blocks the wind. Id be no more concerned about scent with this than one of my others
I personally wish 2 sides were solid- less chance of being shadows
Great blind for the money
Mine was some brown fall leafy pattern and the sun faded it fast to a red orange
The zippers are great but noisy
The stakes that come with it are meh.

I’ve hunted out of this blind I think. It was for sure a TideWe. My impression of it… meh. If your eyes were moving, you could see through it fine. But trying to focus on one spot resulted in somewhat of an optical illusion that almost seemed to make me dizzy. The sliding windows were quiet and nice. But overall the quality of the blind was nothing to write home about. It was just “okay.” Already having two mediocre ground blinds, I would save my money for a better, more high-end blind.
