Wild Country Helm Compact 1 Tent

Product Information

Updated for the 2025 season, The award-winning Helm Compact 1 tent from Wild Country is sure to impress!

This dome-shaped, free-standing tent provides a wealth of internal space for any outdoor enthusiast, with a roomy inner bedroom area and two storage places for your gear! The Helm Compact tent range has been designed for backpacking & trekking expeditions as lightweight tents that pack down to a compact size. You may think they would have had to strip everything back to get to these goals, but you couldn't be further from the truth!

Wild Country has employed the use of a 68D RipStop Polyester flysheet, which has been waterproof coated up to 4,000mm HH to ensure no rain is getting through without a fight. This fabric has adopted the newer solution dyeing technique, which is quickly becoming the industry standard in eco-friendly fabric colouring - using up to 80% less water than traditional dyeing methods, and ensuring a durable end product that will visibly fade much less.

It's not just in the fabric that Wild Country have been able to reduce trail weight - their pegs and poles play a part too! Utilising Wild Country's own ø8.5mm Superflex Alloy Poles has allowed them to balance weight and performance on a knife's edge, and the inclusion of alloy 'V'-Shaped pegs ensures you're getting the most out of your kit with no compromises.

Additional features include a half-mesh inner door which, when paired with additional mesh vents around the tent, provide a well ventilated area to combat the build-up of condensation. A small secondary storage area can be accessed via a rear door found within the inner, offering extra security for your survival gear and essentials.

Wild Country have produced this tent in three sizes (1, 2, and 3 berth models) to make sure there's a model for every occasion - travelling solo? A 1 berth model is there and waiting, going as a small group instead? The 3 berth model will happily fit you all in, plus you can share out the equipment to lower the individual trail weights.
