Shelter Bivouacs

Whatever your outdoor activity it's essential to be prepared for the worst. The minimum you should carry at all times is a plastic survival bag but there are other options available from brands such as Terra Nova. For a bit of comfort and shelter from the elements when taking a break you can't beat a Terra Nova Bothy shelter.

Terra Nova Discovery Bivi bag: The Discovery is ideal for those seeking perfomance at an entry level price. Gore-Tex FLO2 fabric allows gas transfer as well as moisture transfer, creating a more comfortable sleeping environment. The horizontal zip features a rain flap and a generous hood to allow easy manoeuvring and space for storing gear. The Waterbloc groundsheet is the same as that used on our Endurance tent range and provides excellent durability and waterproofing in harsh environments. Great for occasional use in hill and mountain environments with out the cost of a full Gore-Tex bag.; £160.00

Terra Nova Bothy Bag - 8 Person: Bothy bags use ripstop nylon to create a windproof, highly water resistant and very strong shelter. Bothy bags are increasingly used by mountain rescue teams, outdoor centres and youth groups as emergency shelters and should be always be in the bottom of your rucksack. They create a surprisingly warm and sheltered environment in use and are ideal for lunch stops or accidents. Terra Nova Bothies have allowed their occupants to wait out storms from an hour to a week long in hostile conditions. Clear windows reduce the feeling of claustrophobia and durable waterproof seats stop your bum getting wet. A roof attachment allows a walking pole to act as a support to help keep the fabric away from your head.; £65.00
