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.

Purify, Cook, Drink: Grayl ‘Geopress Ti’ Do-All Camp Bottle Review
  Water purification has never looked so cool.

10 Last-Minute Ways to Spoil Yoga Moms on Mother’s Day
  As a new mom, I found my first Mother’s Day to be a letdown.   I had naively thought that it would be a day where all my anxieties and responsibilities would fall away.

Put These Beautiful National Monuments on Your Must-See List
  What is a national monument, anyway? That’s what I kept asking myself as I rode a mountain bike down a rocky trail on sedimentary layers in the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument.

I Thought Motorcycles Didn’t Belong In the Wilderness. I Was Wrong.
  I was gunning it toward Split Mountain in the Sierra Nevada and my Subaru was begging for mercy. The “road” to the trailhead was like the surface of the moon, rife with ditches, potholes, and boulders techy enough to have a V-grade. The sunglasses hanging from a strap on my rearview mirror swung wildly, smacking me in the face as...
The 10 Best Summit Hikes in Colorado
  Trying to narrow down a list of the best summit hikes in Colorado makes my palms sweat. It’s almost harder than hiking the peaks themselves. Ive been exploring Colorados mountains for over 25 years now and have written six mountain hiking guidebooks, and I still have difficulty picking out my favorites.

  Starting this fall, backpackers will have to pay a per-visitor fee to overnight along California’s famous Lost Coast Trail. For many hikers, this will be triple the current cost.
