What’s a ShellTA?

shellTA pitched as a tarp

ShellTA is a single product that can be used as a bivibag, tarp, poncho or 2 person mountain shelter.

Use it as an emergency shelter or bivi.

Use it for planned bivis as a tarp or bivi bag, in a cave or snow hole.

Use it to reinforce any waterproof or softshell clothing system in case the weather takes a turn for the worse. They can also be used over a conventional waterproof to aid breathability and help to prevent cold bridging - similar in concept to the cavity wall construction of a house.

Ponchos are popular on the continent for warm rain because of their excellent venting. Wear the ShellTA over your sack for maximum air circulation (and sack protection). Wear it under your sack in strong winds to prevent excessive flapping. The ShellTA protects the legs and is adjustable in length.
