Vango Storm Shelter

Promise

Ride out the storms in a lightweight portable habitat

Performance

In a country like the UK there's the sad inevitability each winter of people getting stuck up mountains unprepared. The kit they need is easy to research and buy, so we're more than happy to do our bit by reviewing this brilliant storm shelter from old hands Vango. Great for tea breaks when then weather's turning, or map reading when it's too blowy, these are also essential bits of packing for extreme events and could save your life. Waterproof, the shelter goes over the top of yourself and up to three others, and even has waterproof seats stitched in so you don't start wicking up the freezing groundwater when you're catching your breath. A mesh vent provides air flow and prevents condensation, while the bright orange fabric and reflective strips will catch the attention of any passing rescue party.

Verdict

If you go up to the hills today, don't be in for a surprise. Buy something you can rely on!
