Survival Shelter 1

A survival shelter is one of the most valuable pieces of safety kit you can carry, and the Lifesystems Survival Shelter 1 packs serious protection into just 265g. Sometimes called a bothy bag, it pulls over your head and shoulders to create an instant windproof, waterproof refuge. Originally developed for mountain rescue, it traps your body heat to build a warm internal microclimate that can keep you going for hours while you wait out a storm or wait for help.

• Tough, fully waterproof build with PU-coated fabric, taped seams and a 5000mm hydrostatic head to hold back driving rain.
• Waterproof seat panel that keeps you off cold, wet ground, a key defence against heat loss.
• Warm microclimate created by trapping body heat, so you stay warmer during planned stops or emergencies.
• Window and air vent to keep an eye on conditions and manage condensation inside.
• High-visibility orange with reflective strips to help emergency services locate you.
• Fits one person with a daysack, with an integral stuff sack and drawcord base closure for fast deployment and re-packing.

Light enough that there's no excuse to leave it behind, it's ideal for hillwalkers, runners and anyone heading into exposed terrain where the weather can turn fast.
