Wild Country Helm Compact 1 Tent

The Wild Country Helm Compact 1 Tent is a free-standing, one-person backpacking tent for three-season trips. Its porch, rear storage area and compact packed size offer a practical balance of sleeping space and kit organisation for solo walkers and cycle tourers.

Keep equipment outside your sleeping space

The rear storage area sits beneath the flysheet and can be reached from inside the tent, so spare kit need not fill the inner. Ventilation helps manage airflow, while Easy Pitch and Easy Pack features simplify setup and packing. A solution-dyed flysheet is combined with a recycled, PFC-free inner and groundsheet.

Helm Compact 1 or Helm Elite 1?

The Helm Elite 1 saves 340 g compared with the Helm Compact 1, with the same packed dimensions and hydrostatic-head ratings. Its inner is slightly wider. Choose the Elite if reducing carrying weight is your priority; the Compact retains the same solo capacity and pack size with a different flysheet fabric.
