While 狈别尘辞鈥檚 Hunker won't stand up against the toughest conditions, after you鈥檝e been out hiking or skiing all day, it can be rejuvenating to duck out of the wind or weather. Hunker let鈥檚 you sidestep the elements quickly and
easily so that you can rest, warm up, escape the sun, or just regroup.
The Hunker is a 7.5-ounce shelter that uses a trekking pole (BYO) or tarp pole (sold separately) to give
you a 49-inch-high shelter that's big enough for two. With 24 square
feet of inside space, it鈥檚 just the ticket when the lean-to is far, the trail
took some turns you weren鈥檛 anticipating, or when you鈥檙e in camp and you wish you had an extra vestibule.
Secure the silky light but
strong and tough 20 denier polyurethane-coated nylon fabric with included
guy-out cords and stakes. Together with the tarp they store in an easy-access drawstring stuff sack that keeps everything you need in one place. Available spring 2013, $130; .
