Product Details

The Helium Bivy is the lightest, best-selling, and most awarded bivy sack of all time. Incredibly quick to set up and breakdown, the ultralight Helium Bivy is 14% lighter than its last generation, and has everything the outdoor minimalist needs to be comfortable. Thru-hikers and bikepackers love the Helium for its refined footprint and reduced weight, and trust it for its waterproof and breathable Pertex® Shield+ fabric that doesn't compromise on durability. A no-nonsense clamshell opening is sure to handle seasons of adventuring to come. This is the ideal shelter for minimalists who are looking to trade weight for speed, agility, and performance.

    The best light weight bivy option

    a month ago
    After having this bivy recommended to me, I've been exceedingly happy with it. It's very well built, easy to setup/take down and very small size/weight for your pack. If you are looking for something very compact and light weight, this is the BEST option for you.

    Light weight Bivy

    Light weight easy to find color, enjoying my Bivy. The material is light weight so depending on what you are looking for, some might think this is a little ‘wimpy’ but it is fine for my needs. It will have slight condensation inside, I have tried a variety of bivies and cannot find a way to avoid this. At least everything about this Bivy dries out fast!

    I used this in the Adirondack High Peaks Wilderness in below-freezing weather with about 30mph winds. It did a great job blocking the wind and keeping out a lot of the chill. As long as you have the correct sleeping bag inside, this bivy will do the job. It's durable and spacious. It fit me no problem and I'm 5'9 ~270lbs. I still had room inside as well. It's also very lightweight and compact. My only complaint is that it doesn't open from the side, so I had to shimmy in and out through the top in freezing weather. This isn't fun as a bigger guy. If you're NOT overweight like me, this shouldn't be too much of a problem.

    I thought this bivy was very user friendly to set up and light for bikepacking.

    I used this on a 268 mile 4 night bike packing trip through the Los Padres National Forest. It packs small and is light. It’s easy to set up and tear down making it great for a beginner or expert hiker or bike packer. The zipper is a little funky to use from the inside, especially if you only want the mesh closed. The foot area is a little narrow so stay away from wide sleeping pads. I’m 6’0” 190 lbs and fit with some room to spare but not much. If I used a foam pad that would give me more room than my current 3” air pad.
