The SAS bag is designed to increase levels of comfort and safety in two of Britain's most popular leisure activities, hill walking and mountaineering. It comes in two versions, a basic shelter bag and a higher specification group leader bag.

The SAS Bag being used as a stretcher.

This bag provides an instant wind and rain proof shelter for one or two adults. Novel design features allow it to be donned or removed in a high wind. Two bags can be snapped together to create a small group shelter. The SAS Bag can also be used as a poncho and as a bivvy bag.

If you are an outdoor leader, who needs the full survival kit, you could be looking for this higher specification shelter bag, which you can also use as a stretcher, hammock, basha, fly sheet tent, snow trench cover and ground sheet. You can join as many leader bags together as you wish.

This is a versatile foam sheet splint for first aid treatment of wrist, arm, leg, ankle and neck injuries. Sliding adjusters make attachment of the splint so easy, that you can even apply the splint to your own arm, single handed. The pad earns its place in your rucksack by also acting as an insulated cushion to protect your thermos flask and as a sit mat during your rest breaks.

The Survival Pad.

Basically, this is a soft, floating package, attached to a rescue line, which you can throw to a drowning casualty. The floating package has excellent throwing properties allowing it to be thrown a good distance, even against the wind. It can support a 14 stone casualty in the water. The floating package is a bag with side grab handles. Inside the bag there's a Survival Pad and an SAS Bag, allowing you to treat the casualty, post rescue for injuries and hypothermia. This rescue aid has been submitted to tests by the Royal Life Saving Society.
