Ultra lightweight, compact, easy to use and thoughtfully designed, the award-winning Helm Compact series is guaranteed to provide a comfortable and durable home away from home in the great outdoors.
All three models are suitable for 3-season use and offer easy pitching & packing up, great ventilation, porches for gear storage and more handy features. The Helm 1 is a surprisingly spacious one-person tent that's perfect for solo adventurers, while the Helm 2 and 3 offer more room and an extra door & porch while still remaining light and compact for couples, families or friends adventuring together.
We recommend the use of a Terra Nova Tent Footprint to protect against damage and maximise your tent's longevity.
The Helm Compact 1, 2 and 3 all offer:
- Quick and easy pitching thanks to a combined inner & flysheet
- Plenty of ventilation provided by mesh panels on the door & air vents
- Porches for gear storage (one on the Helm 1, and two on the Helm 2 & 3)
- Dome design that provides more stability than a single-pole tent
- Comfortable amount of headroom in all three tent sizes
- A side-opening, tarp-style tent bag which makes for easier packing up
