Wild Country Helm Elite 2 Tent

The Wild Country Helm Elite 2 Tent is a lightweight, free-standing two-person tent for backpacking, bikepacking and wild camping. It offers a lower overall weight than the Helm Compact 2, with dual side-entry doors for convenient access when sharing.

Shared access with less weight to carry

The semi-geodesic structure provides stability, while ventilation helps manage airflow and condensation inside. Easy Pitch and Easy Pack features simplify setup and packing. The flysheet, inner and groundsheet use recycled, PFC-free fabrics. An optional footprint beneath the groundsheet and porch area can help protect the tent and prolong its life.
