Review on πŸ•οΈ Snugpak Stratosphere Shelter - 5000mm Waterproof Outer, Ideal for Solo Use by John May

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Leaking during a storm, which has been repeatedly confirmed.

Maybe they should be waterproof, mine isn't. I was happy to have a jungle bag in because I stayed pretty dry but there was water down in my bivouac and not much after the storm. Likewise, it can be difficult to sleep in heavy rain when the top of the bag is resting directly on you and not hanging by your feet (some support in your legs), and hail really hurts. I thought it deserved some more testing. It was fine in dry weather and light rain. Whenever the weather turned bad, this thing wasn't waterproof. For week trips or to escape from civilization I wouldn't trust it anymore. It's very light, it packs almost nothing, I was hoping it would be a good option for a multi-day bag or for solo camping if I wanted to see a lot. Another time I used it to sleep in the field before hunting deer or ducks. Again, it works fine until you get real weather then it keeps failing me.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Only available in black
