In think they are worth it. I have 2 canvas craft insulated portables and they really hold in the heat. I have never owned an uninsulated portable, just fished in friends and when it’s cold with some wind – they didn’t seem to do that great holding the heat in. It depends how much you want to use it and how much the $ difference is I guess, but for where we are the insulated ones are the way to go.

That is the moisture you expel when you exhale.

Using a propane heater puts most of the moisture in the air.
