The Helium Bivy is a lightweight, minimalist shelter built for solo adventurers who move fast and pack light—ideal for fastpacking, bikepacking, or alpine missions where every gram counts. Crafted with advanced Pertex® Shield Diamond Fuse 2.5L fabric, this bivy offers dependable waterproof and windproof protection while remaining highly breathable. Its fully seam-taped construction ensures reliable weather defense, and the bluesign® approved no-see-um mesh keeps insects out while allowing stargazing on clear nights. A clamshell-style opening and internal fly fasteners make getting in and out easy, while the spacious toe box adds comfort. With a single-pole support system, guy line loop, and stake loops for stability, the Helium Bivy is ready to handle challenging backcountry conditions. Reflective logos and trims improve visibility in low light. Perfect for ultralight backpackers and alpine climbers, the Helium Bivy delivers streamlined protection without sacrificing comfort.

Testimonials
"I spent close to 3 hours in this store today, being fitted for and choosing a pack, and the staff are fantastic. Helpful, knowledgeable, patient and friendly - and I think I'm probably a fussy customer and I have difficulty finding packs that fit comfortably. Has to be my best experience in this kind of store to date."

"My favourite outdoor shop in Sydney. This is where you go if you want to see gear stocked because of it's quality, not just because it's corporate overload has pumped out another 10,000 puffer jackets that need to be moved before next season. Knowledgeable staff that actually partake in trekking and travelling themselves. Definitely worth dropping in!"

"Always friendly, helpful staff with great knowledge. Great range of good quality products (nothing really low end) including Australian/NZ brands e.g. Wilderness Equipment, One Planet and Aarn. Never had a fuss with exchanging unused gear within the 2 week period."
