Just a hi-viz, windproof bag, really. Usually fits at least two
people but I've used one that fits seven. Very handy for lunch
stops in exposed, windy and wet places.

Actually, they're very useful. Just as long as you don't
let the wind get under them !!! :-D

You can get some inkling of how they work from this picture where you
can see the two people inside it

They've been using 'em for eons in the Alps for lightweight travel;-)

Sitting out of the foul clag that is blowing a hoolie outside. Don't
knock it until you have tried it.

thee :-0

No. Basically a larger waterproof/windproof bag which a few people can
sit under as a temporary shelter against the elements.

Sometimes called a Group Shelter or Grope Shelter in the vernacular :-)

Invaluable in Mountain Rescue context when assisting a hypothermic
casualty. Several people in the shelter and possible with the assistance
of a small gas stove will soon warm up the patient.

A Group Shelter is definitely NOT a joke.

I'm still waiting on my head torch after 3 weeks. I phoned Emap again last
week and discovered they'd messed up the payment details so we went through
the numbers all over again. Mean my subscription doesn't start till next
month now. :-(

I got a free headtorch too - last week - through trail credit card. Use
it once, get the free gift, then ditch it (the credit card!!). It's a
good one too (In my opinion)
