    I’ve been fishing in my Lodge for about 4 years with the normal cover and this year santa brought me a thermal cover for it. I went out to the shop and put on the thermal cover and it fits very, very tight. I had to use a bunch of force to get the poles to click into their respective holes. Will the thermal loosen up at all? Lot’s of Otter guys here, has anyone else experienced this?

    Thanks!

    Yes, it will loosen considerably over the first couple uses. One of the best ways to hasten the process is to set it up and leave it up in the garage. Expect it to fit like a favorite pair of jeans in no time.

    My skinny jeans fit pretty tight, maybe your cover is supposed to be that way.

    I hope for that kind of money they don’t fit like my jeans! My jeans are always falling down!

    I put together a pro ice lodge every year and I know what you mean about it being tight but it certainly will loosen up a bit and will be very easy to set up and you will really enjoy the new thermal cover.
