The Wild Country Helm Elite 1 Tent is engineered for solo adventurers seeking a lightweight yet robust shelter. Designed for backpacking and long-distance trekking, it provides a balance of weight efficiency, stability, and comfort, making it an ideal choice for those who want to maximise their enjoyment of the outdoors. For 2025, the Helm Elite 1 has been updated with a recycled, PFC-free flysheet, inner, and groundsheet, ensuring an eco-conscious design without compromising on weather resistance and durability.

Pitching is easy, even in poor weather, while the compact, packed size of 35cm x 17cm ensures it fits easily into a rucksack or bikepacking setup.
