portable shelter

Shelter you carry

A portable shelter is a structure designed to provide temporary protection from weather while being light enough to carry and quick to set up.

Tents are the most common example, but the term covers tarps, bivouac sacks, and pop-up canopies.

We packed portable shelters for the weekend camping trip.
