The NRS Helter Shelter is like a human dry bag. It provides emergency rain and wind protection for several boaters. Stop scrunching into your kitchen dry bag when the weather gets nasty. It's time to shelter in your helter.40-denier ripstop nylon is lightweight, waterproof, windproof and has a high pain threshold. The shelter is dome-shaped, with a height of 48 inches in the center and 60 inches in diameter across the base. It's large enough to cover several boaters, yet still compact enough to stuff in the empty spaces of your dry bag. Two clear polyurethane panels help you keep an eye out for surprises up ahead. Two 6 inch "portholes" with barrel-lock drawstring closures provide ventilation or arm holes. Five webbing loops on the outside let you suspend the shelter from trees and shrubs. The attached mesh stuff sack compresses the large shelter into the size of a mere cantaloupe, or muskmelon or unhusked coconut, whatever you prefer!
