Crafted for serious backpackers, this lightweight tent combines durable materials with an innovative, easy-to-pitch design. Built around a free-standing, three-pole frame with robust 7000 series aluminum poles, the Helix provides a stable, weather-resistant shelter while remaining impressively lightweight at just 3 lbs. 12 oz.
