Helm Compact 2 Tent

What do we think?

The Wild Country Helm Compact 2 is a reliable, easy-pitch backpacking tent that delivers real comfort on the trail. Weighing just 2.35kg, it offers generous space for two campers without compromising packability — perfect for wild camping, weekend hikes, or bikepacking trips.

Its semi-geodesic design and strong alloy poles give impressive stability in rough weather, while inner and outer pitch together for quick setup when the rain hits. Two doors and porches make sharing easy — each camper gets their own entry and gear storage.

Packing down to just 32x19cm, the Helm Compact 2 fits neatly into a rucksack or pannier. Built with durable, waterproof materials and trusted Wild Country engineering, it’s a tent that handles real UK conditions season after season.

Whether you’re camping solo with extra space or heading out as a pair, the Helm Compact 2 balances durability, liveability, and low weight perfectly for all-round adventures.
