Wild Country - Helm Compact 2

Wild country helm 2. You’ll get people spouting about naturehike being on par with tents such as wild country (terra nova) or even the likes hilleberg or whatever. Anyway for the money you have to spend the obvious answer (to me) is the wild country helm 2. It’s spacious, easy to pitch, within your weight limit. Has 2 vestibules and 2 doors so each can have their own space

More than welcome to buy mine haha it’s been used 3 times. I’m thinking of selling it to get the new Xmid 2p!

Have a look at the Wild Country Helm 2 Compact. We bought ours for the WHW and is fine with us two and our gear. 2 vestibiles, outer first or all in 1 erection, aluminium poles and pegs, weighs a couple of kilos. It has been reliable in wild weather, the fly is close to the ground, condensation isn't much of an issue, and it takes a few moments to put up. We are 5'10" and 5'6". We have Topo Air mats, a normal one and a wide one. They both fit fine.

+1 for the helm. However I use the helm2 compact as a nice and roomy solo tent. It can fit 2, but it would be pretty cozy. Consider getting the helm 3 for use as a 2 person tent as it will give a bit more space.

pioneer a 1.5 person tent, i found the helm 2 too tight for 2 and personally i think it is overrated, saggy inner and unless you are under 6 foot too short either side of the centre. I have a hubbahubba clone and we find it fine for 2. Our main tent is an X-Mid 2 and that appears to tick all your boxes. Easily best 2 person tent we have used.

Helm 2 will not disappoint

Naturehike or any vango within budget. You won’t go wrong with vango. My first wild camping tent was a vango and it lasted years. I was going to get it repaired, I loved it that much but now use a terra nova or wild country helm.
