Entry: The single entry point features a small porch, which is ideal for storing backpacks and muddy boots to keep the main area clean.
Space: The Helm Elite 2 is suitable for two people, or even one person and a furry friend if you're willing to sacrifice a weight for some extra comfort during your trip.
Ventilation: The overall design and lightweight fabrics provide ample ventilation and help to manage temperature regulation without too many cold breezes.
Pegs, Attachments, Poles: As mentioned, this tent includes Superflex Alloy poles, plus four reflective guylines, and 12 alloy V-angle pegs for securing it to the floor, ensuring it won't do a Nanny Mcphee.
