Terra Nova Wild Country Helm Elite 1 1-person tent

1-person igloo-type tent, designed as a lighter version of the Helm Compact model, intended to reduce gear weight while maintaining durability and effective weather protection. Its dome shape and the use of robust materials provide a stable shelter in varied terrain.

This model is designed for easy use and efficient setup. The dual Superflex pole system ensures proper flysheet tension and stable positioning, while the well-thought-out design allows for optimal use of space inside the tent and in the vestibule.

The flysheet is made from proprietary Wild Country Elite fabric, which is 20D nylon reinforced with a Rip-Stop weave. The material offers waterproofing rated at 4000 mm hydrostatic head, providing effective protection against rain and wind.

The groundsheet is made of durable 75D polyester with a waterproof rating of 5000 mm hydrostatic head. This material is characterized by high resistance to abrasion and mechanical damage caused by contact with the ground. The inner walls are made of lightweight 20D Rip-Stop nylon, combining low weight with good mechanical strength.

The fabrics are coated with a PFC-free hydrophobic polyurethane coating. Additionally, the Rip-Stop weave limits the spread of mechanical damage such as abrasions or punctures, increasing durability and resistance during intensive field use.

The igloo-type construction with a frame based on two Superflex aluminum poles ensures proper rigidity and stability in varied terrain. The freestanding design makes it easier to pitch the tent on different types of ground, while the selected materials maintain a balance between durability and weight. The Easy Pitch and Easy Pack system allows for efficient setup and quick packing after use.

The model can be pitched using standard trekking poles, which helps reduce the amount of equipment carried and simplifies the overall setup. This solution eliminates the need for additional structural components, which is particularly important when assembling a lightweight kit.

The bedroom, measuring 220 x 77 x 92 cm, has been designed to offer comfortable space for one person and their basic gear. Its construction ensures a comfortable sleeping spot and practical interior organisation.

The tent features a single entrance and one vestibule for storing gear outside the sleeping area. There is also additional storage space at the rear under the flysheet, accessible directly from inside. This allows safe gear storage while keeping it within easy reach.

This model uses mesh panels that allow you to adjust air flow according to the weather. This reduces condensation, especially on cooler nights or during large temperature differences, and lets you tailor ventilation, from full airflow to partial closure for better wind protection.

Reflective guy lines made of Dyneema material increase the tent’s visibility after dark and reduce tripping risks. The lightweight design, at just 1750 g, and compact packed size (35 x 17 x 17 cm) make it easy to carry in a backpack. The shelter has been optimised for comfortable transport.
