What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I like this tent for backpacking when I want solid weather protection without a big weight penalty. The three-pole frame gives more headroom than most ultralight designs, and the fly stays tight even after long, wet nights."We chase big views and quiet ridgelines, and the Helix 2-Person Tent gives us a dependable home wherever those miles take us. Once pitched, its three-pole structure creates enough headroom to sit up, sort gear, or wait out passing weather without feeling boxed in. The full mesh walls bring airflow and stargazing on clearer nights, while the dual doors simplify getting in and out when we’re sharing the space. When storms sweep in, the ultralight 20D ripstop nylon fly and floor—with silicone/PU coatings and factory-sealed seams—keep moisture at bay. The fly’s aluminum hardware and corner attachments hold it taut in shifting winds, and two vestibules give us sheltered spots for storing packs and boots. With a light packed weight and a compact bundle that carries easily, the Helix becomes a reliable shelter for multi-day treks or faster weekend loops.
