Shelter Snugpak All Weather Shelter G2

The All Weather Shelter G2 is a diamond-shaped tarp shelter covering 9.3 m², made by Snugpak for those working outdoors in variable conditions: fastpacking, wild camping, group activities, military use and training. Its generous surface area sets it apart from standard bivvy tarps and allows wider configurations, whether for a solo user or a small group.

A hydrostatic head rating of 2000 mm provides reliable rain protection even in sustained downpours, with no additional treatment required. The fabric comes in a light foliage colour suited to natural environments and consistent with current wild camping guidelines in the UK context. The main trade-off is worth noting: the diamond shape enables a wide range of setups — fly, lean-to, angled tarp, freestanding structure — but getting the most out of it takes some familiarity with rigging, especially when working without trees and using trekking poles as supports.

The design was developed with input from experienced military veterans and includes the option to use it as an improvised emergency stretcher — a secondary function that matters for group leaders operating in remote areas. The included lightweight alloy pegs and adjustable guylines allow quick pitching on varied terrain without any dedicated additional kit.

Key points

• At 9.3 m², the surface area exceeds that of standard tarps, allowing more versatile configurations for multiple users or demanding weather conditions.
• The 2000 mm hydrostatic head rating keeps you dry in heavy rain without needing supplementary waterproofing.
• The diamond shape supports at least three primary configurations — fly, lean-to, freestanding — making it suitable for both quick bivouacs and more structured shelters.
• Can be pitched without perfectly spaced trees, using trekking poles or ordinary stakes: useful in open or rocky terrain.
• Can be used as an improvised emergency stretcher, a relevant capability for group leaders and operators in remote areas.
• Light foliage colouring with low visual signature, suited to natural environments and consistent with low-impact camping practices.
