With features like power slide-out rooms (seen in the Bear Cave and Boss XL), Arctic insulation across all models, and spacious interiors like the Stub American Freedom II and Sportsman’s Retreat, Ice Castle stands out for anglers seeking comfort without compromise. Compared to Glacier’s simpler layouts or Yetti’s lightweight focus, Ice Castle’s robust hydraulic frames and premium interiors make it a top choice.
