Yes, if the correct care is taken it can be reused for many years. Please follow the instruction manual or SOGs but especially the inflation and repacking videos to ensure the longevity of your shelter.
Rigloo Refuge has been engineered and designed to be set up safely in this dangerous environment. It is not recommended to set up a camping tent as they are designed for campsites. It is illegal to stop on a motorway without a genuine reason and government advice is to safely exit the car and position yourself safely over the crash barrier. The Refuge is designed to encourage people to leave the car and this can only be a positive step.
The Refuge airframe has a small hand hammer manual pump. Around 1-2 psi is all that is needed to fully inflate the airframe. Please do not attempt to overinflate as this will distort the single skin TPU frame!
The RESCUER airframe is fully wrapped for protection and fitted with a pressure relief valve max 9psi (PRV) to prevent over inflation. Around 5-7 psi is all that is needed to sufficiently inflate the airframe.
Yes, but the Refuge model is not designed in length for doing so if you are over 6’0″. The Refuge is an Emergency, Storm Proof Shelter and we recommend that it is used for this application.
The RESCUER is 2.6m long which is more than enough to sleep in for protracted incidents, rest point sheltering or recuperation.
Anything inflatable can be punctured, we recommend following the set-up guide for the Refuge model and always checking the area you wish to deploy your Rigloo for sharp objects. A repair kit is provided with the shelter.
The RESCUER model is fully wrapped and the lateral bracing beams are raised off the ground to limit the potential puncture points. Each leg base has a protective layer to further reduce the risk of puncture.
