What are Bothy Bags / Bothy Shelters
A fabric structure that protects from wind and rain by trapping combined body heat from several people. Creates a warmer local environment. A Bothy provides protection from the threat of hypothermia and wind chill.
Single use will not generate enough trapped heat to be considered effective

Bothy Bags Carried & Used by

Mountain rescue teams : search and rescue : sarda, alpine guides : outdoor ed instructors : cross country skiers, walkers and mountaineers
An essential survival aid for any group venturing onto the mountains. A bothy bag shelter or bivi as they are sometimes known can provide groups of people some protection against the risk of hypothernia.
