"A well proportioned, free-standing 2-person tent suitable for wild camping and campsite stays.
The Helm Compact 2 is a well proportioned, free-standing 2-man dome tent perfect for those looking for a little more space yet a compact pack size for easy carrying. The pack size measures only 32x21cm making it easy and versatile for packing into rucksacks or panniers. A good choice for medium duration backpacking trips where more space might be preferred.
There's plenty of headroom in the inner plus two decent sized porches for storing gear.

Quick and easy to erect, the flysheet and inner pitch together with combined pegging points for the flysheet and inner.
The Helm Compact 2 has a mesh panel on both inner doors providing plenty of ventilation to suit weather conditions.
It's easy to pack away too with a side opening tarp style tent bag - simply roll the tent into the bag and pull tight.
A good choice for backpackers and campers looking for a roomy 2 person tent suitable for campsite stays and wild camping.

Delighted with my purchase. Arrived very quickly and easy to track progress. Would happily use again. Already got my eye on some other gear.........

Wonderful

I've been using a 2 man of these for a while now, absolutely amazing tent. Really well designed, goes up and down easily even in bad weather. There's enough space inside to move around a fair bit and the doors are well shaped to block winds but also feel very open when open. Cannot complain at the lightweight either!
