Terra Nova Wild Country Helm Elite 1 1-person tent
The single-person igloo tent is a lightweight alternative to the Helm Compact model, designed to reduce pack weight without compromising durability or reliable protection against rain and wind. Its dome construction and use of durable materials enable safe overnight stays even in demanding terrain.
The design focuses on intuitive handling and quick setup. The dual Superflex pole frame ensures optimal fly tension and stability, while the thoughtfully shaped layout improves space management in both the sleeping area and vestibule.
Use of a blend of durable materials
The flysheet is made of Elite (Wild Country) fabric, which combines 20D nylon and 20D Rip-Stop nylon. The fabric offers a waterproof rating of 4000 mm/m2, effectively blocking moisture and wind.
The floor is made from 75D polyester, providing 5000 mm/m2 waterproofing along with high abrasion resistance for tough ground contact. The tent interior is constructed of 20D Rip-Stop nylon, striking a balance between low weight and good mechanical strength.
The fabrics are finished with a PFC-free hydrophobic polyurethane coating. The reinforced Rip-Stop structure minimizes the risk of mechanical damage spreading, significantly increasing the tent’s durability during intensive field use.
Stable, easy-to-pitch design
The igloo shape with two Superflex aluminum poles delivers both rigidity and strength in various conditions. The freestanding system allows the tent to be pitched on many surfaces, and the use of advanced materials keeps the balance between weight and durability. The Easy Pitch and Easy Pack features make setup and takedown quick and efficient.
An optional setup using standard trekking poles reduces the gear you need to bring and streamlines the tent configuration by avoiding extra components.
Sleeping area with one door and vestibule
The sleeping quarters measure 220 x 77 x 92 cm, providing one person with a comfortable rest area plus space for essential gear. There’s enough room to stretch out and organize belongings efficiently.
The construction features one entrance and a single vestibule, offering a practical spot for storing gear outside the sleeping area. There’s also a storage zone behind the flysheet accessible from inside, perfect for keeping extra equipment within easy reach.
Ventilation areas
Mesh panels allow you to adjust airflow depending on the weather. This system minimizes water vapor condensation, supporting a healthy tent microclimate during both cold and warm nights by enabling flexible ventilation—from full circulation to partial closure for wind protection.
Reflective elements and easy transport
Reflective Dyneema guy lines increase nighttime visibility and reduce tripping hazards. The low weight of 1750 g and compact packed size (35 x 17 x 17 cm) make it easy to carry in a backpack. The entire system is optimized for convenient transport and simple packing.
