Mountain Hardwear Helion 2 tent breaks the two-person, four-pound barrier with its ultralight design, fabric and poles. Offering livable space in a tiny package, it reduces features to an intelligent minimum, protects from the elements and won't fail under use. Atlas UL (ultralight) aluminum poles combine a variable-diameter tube with lightweight, tapered floating connectors. The result is a significant reduction in materials and weight, yet optimal pole flex and strength—tailored to the demands of the minimalist. Also, due to the flex and strength of the connectors these poles are shorter in length to stow more easily in a pack. Additional weight is trimmed by using sub-zero shockcord. Superlight hollow-core 25-denier ripstop nylon rainfly is the lightest Mountain Hardwear has developed to date. Superlight mesh canopy provides excellent ventilation; mesh doors feature convenient double sliders. Superlight 30-denier nylon floor uses silicon and polyurethane coatings to enhance strength and waterproofness and reduce stretch. Evolution Tension Arch technology uses a system of low-stretch fabric panels that reinforce the poles and add to the rigidity of the tent's structure. Superlight rainfly clips and a molded-grommet tab system attach canopy and rainfly to shave weight. Dry-entry vestibule design prevents water from dripping inside tent when vestibule is open, improving livability. Includes interior pockets, welded vestibule zipper flap and reflective guyouts; reflective starter points aid setup. Pitch Light Option: For an ultralight shelter, pitch the rainfly, poles and footprint (sold separately) without the tent body. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only.
