Lifesystems Emergency Storm Mountain Survival Shelter for Hiking and Mountaineering

Ideal for those walking in remote locations who need a little extra piece of mind. We chose this as it is lightweight and after watching Youtube were convinced that carrying this was a good idea. We have been in a situation where one of our party broke an ankle on a walk in the Yorkshire Dales. Help can be a long time coming and shock and the weather can quickly take a dramatic toll on a casualty, I am sure that if we had carried one of these, our casualty would have been a lot safer and more comfortable. This will keep two people safe, warm and very visible if the worst should happen. I would recommend this product.

Good useable size, twin vents -one of which it packs into. Can be compressed further with a strap around the outside. It says 4 people with rucksacks and 6 without! But I think 6 would be very friendly ! Unless everyone was very small. I keep this in the car so my family have shelter away from the vehicle. It often comes with us on longer walks, as my family is quite young we haven't used it up a mountain yet. Could do with a couple of loops on the outsides to attach walking poles too.

Sturdy product, highly recommended by mountain rescue instructor when I was doing a training. It will keep you warm. Only drawback is that it takes a lot of space in your backpack.

Tried this out on a rainy windy day in the peak district and it worked well. Kept 2 of us warm and dry with our dog. It was very cramped inside especially with backpacks. Only I vent hole and one window which steamed up quickly. Would be nice to have a window on both sides. We are ordering a 4 person one to fit inside more comfortably.

This is light and packs into the pocket provided, it would be a handy shelter in times of need, or even when taking a cup of tea in bad weather, I've not used it myself yet but will take it with me when hill walking.

Convenient to unroll and repack and so can be used routinely as an occasional shelter, in addition to its intended function in an emergency.

Very small for 2 people plus bags

It potentially saved my life while I was out hiking on the Welsh Black Mountains, Was cold and wet and 3/4 of the way to our destination when my friend had to go back and find his jacket with his keys for the van and wheel lock and also his wallet in it, It was getting dark and I was there for 45 minutes waiting for him with the wind howling, this kept me warm and safe, Very grateful I bought it last minute, it was a no brainer, Just Get It!
