How many people do you plan on keeping under your ice fishing shelter? Try to get the smallest one possible for your situation. The smaller the shelter, the more easily it can contain your body heat and keep you warmer.
Portability and weight are other things you should consider in ice fishing shelters. If you have a private pond that you like to ice fish on, then a light-weight wooden ice fishing shanty might just do the trick. But if you're driving a long distance and don't have the space to drive a large wooden shelter around, then a fabric shelter will do the job. As long as you have something to shield you from the wind you should be fine.
What type of material do you want to use? The latest cutting edge cloth for ice fishing shelters is generally expensive, but usually the second best model any company offers will do the job well. Make sure the fabric of your shelter will not rip easily or soak up moisture and sag.
By keeping these features in mind you're sure to keep warm on the ice and have a good time while doing it!
