## Overview

The Terra Nova Bothy Bag is a professional-grade, ultra-lightweight emergency storm shelter designed for two people. Featuring waterproof polyurethane flooring, mesh vents, and a clear low-temperature window, it creates a warm, dry microclimate ideal for outdoor leaders and adventurers. Compact and easy to set up with trekking pole support, it’s the go-to shelter for quick protection and morale boosts in extreme conditions.

## Description

Used by mountain leaders, rescue organisations, backcountry skiers and canoe guides all over the world, these indispensable lightweight emergency shelters allow the users to create a 'microclimate' that is warm and dry - perfect for map reading, group discussions or even as a morale-booster for wet lunch breaks. Bothy bags come in a range of sizes and feature clear windows, mesh vents and roof 'sockets' which can house walking poles for additional support. In 2014 we have modified the bothy's with a new low temperature PU window allowing it to function in even lower tempertures.

Review: Why Bothy and not Bivy? - I bought this for solo ski tours and have found that it works very well for instant shelter from spindrift and windchill. Squishes down to the size of a plump grapefruit. When I need a break from the elements, I pull the Bothy Bag overhead, remove skis and cross the tails and sit on them securing the bothy seat, stamp down with boots to make foot holes in the snow, secure the other seat with the ski tips, and prop up the ceiling with both ski poles. Compared to a Bivy sack which requires horizontal orientation, the Bothy allows you to sit up, read, eat, change socks, tighten boots, fix gear and strip or add layers before pulling stakes and heading out again. Yes, it will steam up, but the lack of floor helps vent if its windy, and the instant warmth is worth a bit of moisture. Have not yet tested with two full grown adults (but my kids love it). Windows and red color help keep from getting blue about the weather! I now routinely carry the Bothy, whereas before, I rarely bothered with the Bivy sack.
Review: TOO SMALL FOR 1 AVERAGE SIZE ADULT!!!! - It’s great for two small 8 year olds maybe but good luck trying to fit two adults. In addition, the “chimney” is sealed versus others that contain netting. I would not recommend!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Close but not perfect
*by D***F on November 30, 2012*

Haven't had a chance to use this yet in the field, so this review is a first impression based on trying it out in the back yard. I bought this for use as an emergency shelter, so wasn't expecting much. However, it would have been easy to add a floor, even a flimsy one, to make this a complete shelter, that would have been nice. But again, I bought it for emergency use to carry in a kayak on longer trips and knew when I bought it that it didn't have a floor, figured it would just get sloppy wet anyway if I set it up having just scrambled out of the boat. So, realizing that this is based on first impressions I would say that the shelter is well built, seems sturdy enough to do the job and the windows are a plus. I would like to see it easier to secure an improvised pole or two and maybe a zip open vent. Seems like it will do the job as an emergency shelter, but wouldn't want to spend any significant time inside one. I wouldn't use it on day hikes, for that I'll stick with my space blanket and cord for emergency shelter, due to the weight. My backpacking tent isn't that much more before poles (this weighs just under 1lb, the tent around 2.5lb before poles), so if I was really worried about shelter on backpacking or dayhiking trips, that's what I would carry, but for the kayak this seems just right.
