Helium Bivy
$149.21 - $198.95
Description

  Award-winning for its ultralight prowess, updated with our most durable lightweight Helium fabric with Diamond Fuse technology. This clamshell opening bivy is ideal for fast and light missions.

  The Helium Bivy is Outdoor Research's lightest, best-selling, and most-awarded bivy sack of all time. Incredibly quick to set up and break down, 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 durable, lightweight, waterproof Pertex® Diamond Fuse technology. A clamshell opening makes it easy to get in, get out, and resists wear and tear for future seasons of adventuring to come. This is the ideal shelter for minimalists who are looking to trade weight for speed, agility, and performance.

  The tapered shape of the Helium Bivy works best with tapered sleeping pads with narrower dimensions at the foot, ideally 19 inches or narrower.

Footprint sold separately.

Satellite Texting Is Coming to the iPhone. Do I Still Need My inReach?
  The critics were correct—of course we should have had a Garmin inReach.   Early last October, after nearly 10,000 miles of hiking together without major incident, my wife, Tina, and I became separated on the Continental Divide Trail. A snowstorm had swept through the San Juan range of southern Colorado, and we’d unknowingly taken different routes on that choose-your-own-adventure trek. For...

But nothing blows the pack of the Tour de...

Are SunChips Actually Healthy? A Recovering Junk-Food Enthusiast Investigates.
  In my twenties, chips, gummy bears, and the cheesiest burritos I could make once fueled all of my runs, climbs, and camping trips. Now well into my mid-thirties and trying to set a better example for my growing toddler, I’ve spent the last two years rewriting my usual travel menu. I’ve largely replaced Skittles with real fruit and beer with...
Rad Course, Awesome Gear, Incredible People: Big Sky Total Archery Challenge 2024
  Total Archery Challenge (TAC) at Big Sky always ends up being a little work, a little play, and a lot of reunion for me. Theres a sense of community when you take the top folks from all the brands you trust in the field and toss them out onto a mountain to shoot together.   I know GearJunkie is usually all...
Amazfit Cheetah Pro Review: Can This Budget Fitness Watch Hack It for Endurance Use?
  But, Amazfit? I’d never even heard of the brand. Was it Amazon’s entry into the market? How would it stack up with Garmin, COROS, Suunto, and Apple? The Cheetah Pro certainly doesnt have the name recognition of those fitness watch brands, but it talked the big talk on paper — and the name sounded fast.   As it turns out, even if...

  My touring partners and I crouched at the summit of our planned ski line, engulfed in a cloud of whipping winds and spindrift. It felt like chaos. I carefully donned insulating layers, fighting the wind’s attempt to tear them out of my hands. The anxiety was building. My Anon M5 ski goggles were the last piece.   I hastily swapped the...
