Emergency shelter for two that weighs 250 grams.

If someone twists an ankle on the tops and you are waiting for Mountain Rescue, wind chill becomes the problem within minutes. A tube tent is a bright orange sleeve you pull over yourselves to cut the wind and hold in body heat. This one is 245 × 157 cm, big enough for two adults sitting, packs to the size of a drinks can and has a whistle attached so you can signal without digging through a bag.

Why we like it

• High-visibility orange, easy for rescuers to spot
• Built-in whistle on the shelter
• Deploys in seconds: no poles, no pegs
• 250 g and roughly 7 × 17 cm packed; it fits in a lid pocket or glove box

Good to know

Every UK mountain leader carries some form of group shelter, and this is the lightweight version of that idea. It is an emergency item, not a camping tent. Keep it with your first aid kit and a foil blanket, and check it is still in the pack at the start of the season.
