The Helix 300, highly recommended by the Duke of Edinburgh's Award and The Scouts Association, is a classic tunnel tent designed for backpackers who value both efficiency and compactness. Its two-pole tunnel structure allows for a quick and easy setup, making it possible to erect the tent in under five minutes. Ideal for weight-conscious trekkers, the Helix 300 is a 3-person tent that features an 'inner first' pitching method, allowing it to be used without the flysheet in warmer climates. The tent includes a compact porch, perfect for storing boots and gear, ensuring you stay warm and dry while out in the hills.
