The only tent to replace my trusty Helm 1
I’ve been using a Helm 1 compact for a few years now for bikepacking but always felt I needed slightly more room. Step up the Helm Elite 2. Virtually the same weight, packs down even smaller but just so much more useable space inside-especially for those wet mornings packing up your kit. I’ve always loved the Helm 1 but this model has taken it to a new level. My only slight criticism is the new, smaller, clips at the bottom of the fly sheet door zips are too small and fiddly compared to the older model. Highly recommended.
