The Helm Compact 3 is a versatile, free-standing three-person tent, designed for backpackers, cycle tourers, and wild campers who require a balance of space, stability, and convenience. Ideal for those who want a roomier yet lightweight tent, it offers generous headroom, two side-entry doors, and large porches for gear storage and accessibility.

Updated for 2025, the Helm Compact 3 now features a recycled, PFC-free inner and groundsheet, reducing its environmental impact while maintaining the durability and weather protection needed for three-season use. A new solution-dyed flysheet enhances UV resistance and longevity, ensuring the tent performs well across a variety of conditions.

With a minimum weight of just 2.83kg , it remains lightweight for a three-person tent, yet provides ample interior space with a 225cm length and 167cm width, making it comfortable for extended trips. The semi-geodesic, free-standing design ensures the tent remains stable in windier conditions, making it a great choice for wild camping in unpredictable terrain.

One of its standout features is its rear storage area, accessible from inside the tent, allowing campers to store extra gear without cluttering the sleeping area. The dual porches provide additional storage, with enough room for cooking equipment and packs. Ventilation is optimized through adjustable airflow panels, reducing condensation buildup during cooler nights.

Designed for efficiency, the Easy Pitch features allow for a quick and hassle-free setup, while Easy Pack technology ensures it compresses into a compact 30cm x 24cm packed size, ideal for transport on foot, bike, or kayak.
