 |
The Silshelter is an ultralight siliconized nylon tarp, specially shaped to set up on a hiking pole as a two person stand-alone shelter. Intended for use in conjunction with a bivy in above treeline conditions. Non slip Neotek pole cap holds hiking pole in place at reinforced apex., with a second pole wrap prop-point in the centre of the shelter.
There are 21 webbing tie outs on corners and edges (one on the outside of the pole cup to enable suspension from a tree), and 3 webbing tie loops on the body of the tarp. The front entrance flaps can be left open for ventilation or overlapped and staked for a weather tight closure. The Silshelter has no zippers. Pitch off ground level for best ventilation. The Silshelter will attach to front of many tents as a simple vestibule.
Our Verdict
Provides a huge amount of room for one person, less so for two but still adequate, the Silshelter also offers excellent headroom. As the shelter tapers to the floor it provides good weather protection as well.
