Fast, simple shelter when the weather turns
Rab says:
The Group Shelter 2 is designed as an emergency shelter for 1-2 people, to be used when the storm hits or for planned stops in bad weather. Made using a lightweight and windproof polyester fabric, support is provided by the users within.
Our Verdict
The Rab Group Shelter 2 gives one or two people a waterproof, windproof space that can be deployed in seconds. You can also support it with a trekking pole in the roof vent to add structure and headroom.
Once inside, the main benefit is getting out of the wind and retaining some body heat. Waterproof seats keep you off wet ground, while vents and a clear window make longer stops more manageable.
At 438 g, it is not especially light, but I think the speed, simplicity and added security make that weight easy to justify. It is useful year-round, though in winter they are invaluable.
