The Kapar 4 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 you’re huddled inside, it forms a windproof and waterproof barrier, creating a warm and dry microclimate to hide in.

We’ve used a lightweight ripstop nylon to reduce the pack-size in your rucksack and keep the weight of the shelter down to 560g. This makes it a small weight penalty to pay, (working out at just over 140g per person in a 4 person party), 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 Kapar’s stuff sack, so you don’t lose a separate bag in strong winds. The Kapar comes in a bright orange colour to make it easy to find in an emergency.
