A lightweight survival shelter for use as emergency protection from the elements. Survival shelters are an essential item of safety equipment for any outdoor activity.
Life Systems says:
An essential item of safety for any outdoor activity, survival shelters are now increasingly used by mountain rescue teams, outdoor centres, hiking clubs and youth groups. This emergency shelter creates a surprisingly warm and sheltered internal microclimate. It can also be used for meal breaks, route planning, map reading or any other situation that requires a warm and sheltered environment.
Our Verdict
Made from tough PU-coated fabric, the Life Systems Survival Shelter 4 is windproof, waterproof and incredibly strong. It features a clear TPU window and ventilation panels to help reduce the feeling of claustrophobia whilst durable waterproof seats provide protection from the damp ground.
We like that the stuff sack is integral so you don't have to worry about loosing it and that it has reflective strips to provide increased visibility. Important if your waiting to be found.
An invaluable piece of emergency kit for if the worst should happens, or if you just want to shelter from the rain at lunch time!
