Wind bags – vital safety equipment for mountains, winter tours and ski touring

A windbag is one of the most important pieces of safety equipment you can carry with you in the mountains. It protects against wind, cold, snow and precipitation , and can be crucial if you or someone in your group needs to rest, get warm or wait for better weather. A windbag acts as a quick and effective emergency bivouac shelter and is equally relevant for beginners and experienced mountaineers.

With us you will find carefully selected wind bags in several sizes and materials - everything from ultra-light 1-2 person models to larger wind bags for several people.

And for those of you who don't want to buy your own, we also offer windbag rentals , perfect for shorter adventures, occasional mountain trips or safety considerations in connection with races and expeditions.

Why should you always carry a windbag with you?

A windbag provides quick protection when:

• the weather is changing

• someone in the group gets cold

• you need to take a break in wind or snowfall

• sledding or skiing becomes demanding

• you have to wait for the emergency services

• you cross exposed parts of mountain terrain

It creates a warmer microclimate and can raise the temperature by several degrees in a short time.

A windbag is therefore as important as:

✔ first aid
✔ extra clothes
✔ headlamp
✔ emergency transmitter or GPS

It's simply cheap life insurance for the mountains .
