So here's my first look at the Helm Compact 1 from Wild Country
I've been looking at this tent for a while and seeing as it recently won Trail Magazine's Trail Gear Of The Year Award 2023 I had to get hold of one and see what it's all about!
I can't wait to get it out on the mountains and give it a proper test, but my first impressions are that it's going to be my new go to tent for a while! ⛺️
Here's what Terra Nova have to say about the tent ⬇️
The Helm Compact 1 is a remarkably spacious 1 person dome tent that packs down to just 30cm x 17cm. This 3-season, 1-person tent is lightweight and compact, easy to pitch and simple to pack away. A perfect tent for backpacking trips and youth expeditions.
- Gear of the Year Winner 2023
- Trail Magazine Best Value Award 2022
- A good choice for medium-duration backpacking trips where more space may be needed.
- The inner has plenty of headroom and there’s a good-sized porch for kit storage.
- There’s extra storage space under the rear flysheet which can be accessed from a small door in the inner.
- The 1 person dome tent design provides more stability than a single-pole tent.
- Quick and easy to erect, the flysheet and inner pitch together.
- Great ventilation with a mesh panel on the inner door, plus a smaller mesh door with a cover at the rear of the inner.
- Easy access to the rear porch is accessible through the small door on the inner.
- Comes with a side-opening, tarp-style tent bag which makes it easier to pack away when it’s time to move on.
- A good choice for backpackers and campers looking for a roomy 1 person tent.
