The only problem with the Double Wide is the weight.  I still use the Dark Horse model with the lightweight rod option more than any other blind I have.  If you have a spot that you are setting up in advance the evening before and returning in the morning with the rest of your gear than the Double wide is fine but if you have other items to pack in at the same time forget it.

Won't guaranty it but by the looks of it this is the "New" design for 2016. (Truth) camo.  This is a GOOD deal. We clearanced out all the older Double Bulls at the store with the "Ground Swat" pattern.

And there is a "Dark Horse" version out as well called the "Bull Pen" same design but weighs 3 pounds more than the old one. There is also the Shack Attack.

I have both (plus a few others) and my old Dark Horse is still a favorite but if I am really traveling light w/blind I am going in with my T2.

Can't beat a Double Bull! and a limited lifetime warranty, yup and they stand behind it.

I hate a pop up blind. i bought one couple years ago and took it out in the field at this spot i wanted to hunt and i tried for over 2 hours to get this thing to pop out so i could use it after those 2 hours and i was ringing wet with sweat i gave up and i pitched that thing in the creek. I will never own another one that's for sure. i don"t care if they put the best one made on sale for 20 dollars they want get my money....THAT'S FOR SURE

LOL..Greg I feel your pain. I had the same feeling the first time I tried to fold up one the Ameristep spring blinds, or a Set-up a Double Bull. I found it best to practice until it becomes second nature. Once you get the hang of set-up and takedown, they become fairly easy.

Blind I use on occasion takes no more than 5 minutes to put up and take down. Very handy on rainy days.

The Double Wide is a great blind. Yup, it's heavy. I wish the door closed a little tighter to keep light from coming in where the two pieces meet, but it's not that big a deal. When a blind is brand new, the fabric is very tight and the blind is tuff to set up. After a few set ups it does get easier. Maybe a guy just learns how to set it up. I used mine deer hunting on a cold snowy day this last season and didn't have any problems even though the fabric was stiff from the cold. I love the ground swat camo. Wish it was available in hunting clothing. I broke a hub on my Primos Gun Hunter blind and they sent me a new hub for free (I paid shipping).

I ran into this problem and I was able to cinch down the both buckle ends on the main closure of the door to close the gap.  That tightened up the sagging pieces. 
I'm sure you are connecting the bungee straps also?
I have three of the double wides.  Two of them have additional eyelets in the door that close from the outside but I have not experienced a time where they really helped keep light out.  I just keep the pieces tucked in behind the rods to keep them from flapping in heavy wind.  By heavy wind I'm talking 40-50 mph western kansas winds.
