Protective Poncho Shelters

This wearable tent combines a lightweight, compact tent with a simple poncho. It can be used as a snowstorm or rain shelter as well as a rain-shedding poncho. Available in blue, yellow or ‘kamowatchi’ (camouflage) nylon rip-stop fabric from Japan’s Amazon.com, the wearable tent is manufactured by MontBell Company and sells for about $100 US.

While it may not be the best choice for extended camping, the wearable tent is a handy accessory for hikers who might be forced to spend a night outdoors because of a hiking injury or trail mishap.
