The Kapar 2 person storm shelter, (also known as a bothy bag or group shelter), is a really useful addition to your hillwalking and mountaineering safety kit particularly when the seasons turn.
- Waterproof and windproof fabric creates warm microclimate
- Ripstop polyester is lightweight and durable, saving pack weight
- Reinforced floor seats in black fabric makes it easier to get
Burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail? The Kapar will give you shelter from the storm. Once youre huddled inside, it forms a windproof and waterproof barrier, creating a warm and dry microclimate to hide in.
Weve used a lightweight ripstop nylon to reduce the pack-size in your rucksack and keep the weight of the shelter down to 420g. This makes it a small weight penalty to pay, (210g between 2 - that's less than your lunch!), for the extra safety and reassurance in difficult conditions.
The floor uses a separate reinforced fabric in a contrasting black colour, providing extra durability to a high wear area, and making it easier to find the bit you sit on to get the Kapar up quickly in a hoolie. The Kapar also includes TPU windows on both sides so you can see when the storm has passed or watch it battering away outside!
Tunnel vents aid airflow inside the shelter. without letting in a load of weather. One of these vents also doubles up as the Kapars stuff sack, so you dont lose a separate bag in strong winds. The Kapar comes in a bright orange colour to make it easy to find in an emergency.
