Our Verdict

RAB’s Superlite Shelter 2 Bothy is one of those bottom of the rucksack bits of kit that are worth their weight in gold on a bad weather day – easy to deploy so long as you sit still, you can go toe to toe with your partner for a hassle free lunchstop even if its sleeting down.

If you haven’t used one of these before there’s a knack to it, you sit down together while facing each other and holding the hem behind you and the shelter inflates. You sit on the hem and your body holds the shelter up.

With a little plastic window – luxury.
