Product Information

If I was going to head out on a bunch of solo backcountry hikes on lightly trafficked trails, I wanted a little peace of mind.

This wind break stood up to 61kph gusts and probably saved our tent when we got caught out in a yellow weather warning for wind. I meticulously planned for this thru-hike, knowing that it would take me deeper into the backcountry than other trails. About 15 minutes later, I could hear the hum of the rotors and see the lights on the bottom of the helicopter.Over the next nine hours of my ordeal, the State of Utah would make three rescue attempts to get me off that mountain. The sectioned construction, sturdy steel poles and reflective guylines allow you to create a stable bespoke structure to shelter your campground. Air windbreaks are a perfect match for your air tent or air awning - in fact many air tent brands also produce windbreaks to exactly match their tent or awning.

I opted for the most minimal plan this summer, knowing this was truly a back-up device on my adventures.In the end, I’m eternally grateful I had the forethought to bring a GPS locator along to help signal for help. I’m sure I’ll be hitting the trail again soon – and I know the one gear item that definitely be coming along for the next adventure! I was warned to have everything ready to go because they wouldn’t have much time on the ground due the the poor weather conditions.
