Bivi and Bothy's - Hilleberg Windsack Shelter
The Hilleberg Windsack Shelter is an emergency bivy bag for up to three people that is perfect for taking refuge from wet and wild conditions during hard mountain days.
For a quick shelter, use the Windsack’s corner loops to rig a windbreak. For more shelter, simply deploy the Windsack, climb in and hunker down out of the elements.
In the snow, you can even dig out a dedicated spot that has some protection from the wind, and then once inside, you can enjoy a snack or a rest break, change clothes, even deal with equipment issues or administer minor first aid.
The Windsack is remarkably adaptable. As an emergency bivy bag, it will accommodate up to three people with sleeping pads and sleeping bags. An integrated safety line prevents the Windsack from blowing away in strong winds while you’re getting into or out of it, and four corner loops let you anchor it in exposed terrain.
The zipper at its head has four sliders for making either head “holes” or venting ports, and a draw cord in the bottom lets you cinch the Windsack around the occupants’ feet. It can even be staked out to form a rescue panel to signal for help from the air, or rigged as an improvised tarp.
