HT’S NEW “ICE DRY” KNEELING PAD

HT ENTERPRISES, INC., industry leaders in modern progressive ice rod design and manufacturers of the original Polar Tip-Up, now introduce the Ice Dry kneeling pad, an incredibly comfortable, 2″ thick kneeling pad that is ideal for the mobile angler. Perfect for use when screwing down shelter ice anchors, kneeling at the hole rigging ice rods or tip-ups, while actively jigging, fighting fish on tip-ups, kneeling on the back of a truck tailgate to access gear–or they can simply be used as a warm, dry, comfortable seat pad. HT’s Ice Dry Kneeling Pads are made from durable polyurethane material covering a thick, 2″ foam, offer non-slip pads underneath to provide a sturdy, secure surface, and feature shoulder carry straps for convenient transport. Each pad measures 20″ long x 14″ wide.
