In Response To: VCP Igloo *LINK* (Nelson Labbé)

VCP Igloo is fine product, but Vango also makes a very useful shelter, from 2 to 12 people, and the material is waterproof, taped, vented, etc.

Here is a source. They will ship stateside.

•
Hytex Dura Nylon (3,000mm) seam taped fabric is light, totally waterproof and reliable.

•
Drawcord at hem keeps wind out and body generating heat in

•
Waterproof seats prevents clothing from getting wet and keeps shelter secured to ground (when sat on)

•
Mesh vent keeps air circulating, even when full.

•
Bright orange colour with reflective strips aids visibility in poor weather or at night

•
Integral storage bag keeps it neat and tidy, ready for the next emergency
