The New Generation fire shelter offers improved protection from radiant, thermal and convection heat. It provides protection from direct heat and traps breathable air. Consists of two layers. The outer layer consists of aluminum foil which reflects radiant heat and woven silica cloth to slow heat from reaching the inside of the shelter. The inner layer is aluminum foil which is laminated to fiberglass. This further protects the person inside the shelter from further radiant heat. Folded dimensions are 9" x 5-3/4" x 4-1/2". When unfolded for use, it measures 86" L x 31" W x 15.5" H. Comes in a sturdy blue nylon cordura case. As always, the fire shelter should be used only as a last resort. No product will guarantee a firefighter's survival in an entrapment situation. Meets U.S. Forest Service specifications. Regular Size is featured. A large shelter is available for individuals taller than 6' 1" or whose girth is larger than 53" at any point. Girth is measured around the shoulder area with your arms as your size. The larger fire shelter provides better protection for larger people by allowing less contact of the shelter material with the occupant's body and provides more air space between the shelter and occupant.
