Abstract
Provided is a hybrid shelter comprising multiple rigid panels or panel sections comprising a floor section, a roof section, two side-wall sections, and two end-wall sections; a water-resistant soft-shell; and a case. The shelter is transitionable between an expanded configuration in which the side-wall sections and the end-wall sections are vertical and perpendicular to the floor section and a collapsed configuration in which the rigid panels and the soft-shell are folded or hinged and fully enclosed in the case. The soft-shell covers one or both sides of the roof section, the side-wall sections and the end-wall sections of the rigid panels in the expanded configuration.

A hybrid shelter comprising:
- multiple rigid panel sections comprising a roof section, two side-wall sections, and two end-wall sections, each covered by a water-resistant panel sleeve portion;
- and
- a case,
- wherein the hybrid shelter is transitionable between an expanded configuration in which the side-wall sections and the end-wall sections are vertical and perpendicular to a floor of the case and a collapsed configuration in which the rigid panel sections are folded or hinged and fully enclosed in the case.
A hybrid shelter comprising:
- a first rigid panel comprising a first roof section, a first side-wall section and two first end-wall sections, each covered by a corresponding water-resistant panel sleeve portion;
- a second rigid panel comprising a second roof section, a second side-wall section and two second end-wall sections, each covered by a corresponding water-resistant panel sleeve portion;
- and
- a case comprising a top section configured to contain the first rigid panel and a bottom section configured to contain the second rigid panel,
- wherein the first and the second roof sections are jointly configured to form a roof portion of the hybrid shelter;
- the first side-wall section is configured to form a first side wall portion of the hybrid shelter;
- the second side-wall section is configured to form a second side-wall portion of the hybrid shelter;
- each of the first end-wall sections and each of the second end-wall sections are configured to form an end-wall portion of the hybrid shelter;
- and a floor of the case is configured to form a floor portion of the hybrid shelter;
- and
- wherein the hybrid shelter is transitionable between an expanded configuration in which the side-wall portions and the end-wall portions are vertical and perpendicular to the floor portion of the case and a collapsed configuration in which the rigid panels are folded or hinged and fully enclosed in the case.
