The First Ascent Helio II 3 Season 2-Person Hiking Tent is a reliable and highly portable shelter designed for outdoor enthusiasts seeking durability and convenience on multi-day adventures. Weighing only 2.45 kg, this tent is the most compact in the First Ascent lineup, making it an excellent choice for hikers, bike packers, and backpackers who prioritise packing light without sacrificing protection. Its streamlined design allows it to fit comfortably in the lower compartment of a hiking pack or the top case of an overland motorbike, ensuring you can carry it effortlessly on any journey.

Built for three-season use, the Helio II provides sturdy protection against adverse weather conditions. The flysheet is crafted from 210T PU Polyester with a 3000mm waterhead rating, offering excellent water resistance and durability. The breathable inner fabric, made from 68D 210T polyester, along with fine B3 mesh panels, promotes airflow and reduces condensation inside the tent, ensuring a dry and comfortable sleeping environment.

Setup is quick and straightforward thanks to its single, dual-hub aluminium pole design, which offers increased durability while simplifying the pitching process. Reflective guy ropes and pegs enhance safety by improving visibility in low-light conditions, and the enlarged awning provides additional space for gear storage or a sheltered area to sit outside during windy or rainy weather. The floor, constructed from 150D PU Oxford Polyester with a 5000mm waterhead, ensures excellent protection from ground moisture and rough terrain, while the reinforced corners and durable materials extend the tents lifespan in rugged environments.

Designed for versatility and ease of use, the Helio II features a door with mesh and a window that can be opened for fresh air or closed for insect protection. It includes a comprehensive repair kit for quick fixes on the trail, making it a dependable companion for hiking, camping, bike packing, and multi-day adventures. Its compact packed size of just 39x15cm makes it easy to carry and store, while the unisex design and lightweight build make it suitable for a wide range of outdoor enthusiasts.
