History

SCANDINAVIA’S LEADING TENT AND SLEEPING BAG MANUFACTURER. Helsport is a Norwegian family company, established in 1951 by Arild Helliksen and run today by his son Stein Helliksen. We launched our first tent in 1957, and high quality and innovation has been our focus ever since. From the start, we mainly had products for camping use, but that changed in 1964 when we came in contact with Arne Næss senior, planning a Norwegian climbing expedition to Tirich Mir in the Himalayas. This was the beginning of big changes and a new direction for the Helsport products. For this specific expedition we developed new and revolutionary lightweight down sleeping bags and tents.

We got our first design award already in 1968 for the “Mountain tent Nylon“ and for being a pioneer among developers of lightweight tents.

In 1970 we designed the world’s first tunnel tent, and we are proud to be able to say that we are behind the tent construction that is preferred by a majority tent users worldwide even today.

When developing products, we value the combination of theoretical knowledge and practical testing. To get a good understanding of every aspect of how the tents are used, we work closely with both experienced explorers such as Børge Ousland and the regular outdoor enthusiasts for development and testing.

For over 50 years we have cooperated with numerous expeditions, and we have always believed that testing products under extreme conditions is very important. Our tents and sleeping bags have been part of several of the worlds greatest, record-breaking and pioneering expeditions in the Arctic and Antarctic. This has definitely provided us with invaluable feedback, but it also gives all those who choose our products assurance that they can be trusted in any situation.

Although we have a long history of supplying products to expeditions in rough conditions, we also have a wide selection if lighter 5-season tents and a very popular superlight-series. They are a result of our longtime focus on innovation and of lightweight products. No matter what product you choose, rest assure knowing that you can enjoy it for many years to come. In 2014 we were named “best on service” in the Norwegian sports industry, an honor that comes as a consequence of the fact that a high service level is very important to us. Our service centers in Norway and Germany are always ready to help you with your Helsport product if needed fast and easy.

We are grateful that our products will accompany you on your next adventure, and we’ll do our very best to ensure you’ll be happy for choosing us!

History

SOME OF OUR MOST IMPORTANT EVENTS THROUGH THE PAST 60 YEARS 1951 - Arild Helliksen establishes Helliksen Sport. This was our name until 1974, when it was changed into our corporation and named Helsport AS.

1997 - World’s lightest and most compact 3-person tent Rondane was launched and became an immediate success.

1954 – We develop and produce our first sleeping bag models, and Helsport is established as a brand with our own logo.

1999 - We introduce Svalbard 3, our flagship and test winner though several years. Probably the tent, which has spent the most nights with expedition members headed to the North Pole. Since it’s launch Svalbard has been developed into a series of tents for tough winter use and expeditions.

1957 - The first Helsport tents are developed. The boy on the left is our CEO today.

1968 - Inspired by expeditions we create one of the world’s first lightweight tents, and become the first company in northern Norway to receive a Norwegian Design Award for “Mountain tent Nylon”. 1970 - The prototype of the world’s first tunnel tent is tested on an expedition in the Andes led by Norwegian climber Trond Aas!

1971 – The World’s first tunnel tent is introduced to the market at the SPOGA fair in Germany. Not many companies are fortunate enough to create something so unique, that it sets the standard for tent development for decades.

1979 - Through innovation, we continued to set innovative world standards for tents, and we were the first to have tents with large vestibule / camp solutions.

1986 - Børge Ousland, Agnar Berg and Jan Ertsås decided to not only follow in Nansens ski tracks from 1888 but to surpass him, at least in distance, crossing Greenland with skis and parachutes. This expedition was Ousland’s first and the beginning of a longstanding collaboration with Helsport.

1993 – At 06.00 on the morning of January 7th 1993 Erling Kagge reached 90 ° South and invited into the American South Pole Base after skiing 1319 km alone for 50 days. One of the first really big Norwegian expeditions we’ve participated on.

1994 - On April 22nd 1994 Børge Ousland reached his goal on becoming the first ever to reach the North Pole alone without assistance. This will forever stand in polar history as one of the greatest accomplishments of our time.

2005 - As Rondane did in 1997, Fjellheimen creates attention. With it, we managed to improve the weight and internal volume ration by more than 20%. More space, less weight!

2006 - North pole by Night is the name of one of the toughest expeditions ever undertaken. Børge Ousland and Mike Horn set off to the North Pole during winter, the coldest period and in total darkness. Yet again our tents and sleeping bags are tested under the most extreme conditions imaginable. Imagine the joy when they reached the pole safely!

2010 - Based on the very popular lavvu Varanger, we launch Varanger Camp, a unique new lavvu with vestibule / camp solution.

2010/2011 - It was with pride and humility we received the Design Award from the Norwegian Design Council for two consecutive years, for sleeping bags Huldreheimen and Kongsfjorden. We are still considered a pioneer among developers, more than 40 years after receiving our first award.

2011 – Weighing only 0.85 kg, Ringstind SuperLight sets an new standard for lightweight tents and become an immediate test winner. With the same materials and solutions Fjellheimen Superlight 3 Camp, a 3-person tent under 2 kilos, creates attention the following year. 2012 - After years of development and cooperation with Børge Ousland we launch expedition tent Patagonia. The first in a series of Ousland products, with new and unique features.

2015 - Varanger Dome is launched as yet another brand new and innovative tent construction from Helsport. With standing height as in a lavvu, but room and space utilization as a dome tent.

Our partners

our partners

If you know Helsport, you know how much we appreciate of our partners. You also know that we are extremely dedicated to develop, test and secure the quality of our products together with them. We want to use this page to tell you a little bit more about some of them.

Børge Ousland

Our long-term partnership with Børge began more than 25 years ago, on his first “real” expedition crossing Greenland in 1986. Børge is one of the worlds most experienced and recognized polar explorers, and has contributed in the development of several of our world-class X-TREM products throughout the years. His high standards and level of experience makes us continue to strive for new and improved solutions. The X-TREM tent, Patagonia, is an example and you can read more about that tent on page 42. According to National Geographic, Norwegian Børge Ousland is ” arguably the most accomplished polar explorer alive ”. Read more about Børge Ousland and his ongoing project, Icelegacy, on page 41,

Baffin Babes

This is a team of three ladies, whom we have worked with since their first expedition to Baffin Island. They are extremely dedicated and professional, and always have fun exploring wild nature. The Baffin Babes were important contributors to the development of the awarded and very successful womens’ sleeping bag concept Huldreheimen, and in 2012 they were among the first to test the Ousland tent Patagonia on an expedition to South Georgia. See more of them on page 77 and 79.

Aleksander Gamme

We have previously described Aleksander as Norway’s most versatile adventurer. He has done a variety of expeditions throughout the world, from the Sahara desert to Greenland, Mount Everest and the South Pole. The same versatility ensures that our products are tested during a variety of activities and conditions. Our tents, sleeping bags, backpacks and clothes are tested and critically examined by Aleksander daily. In particular these past few years Aleksander has contributed to the further development of our Svalbard Expedition jacket, our backpacks, and the Fjellheimen X-Treme was his home when he in 2011/2012 skied the world’s longest skiing expedition: to the South Pole and back. Read about this expedition on page 46.

The dale oen experience

In late 2011 Helsport started working with The Dale Oen Experience (DOE), a charity that works with children and young people who for various reasons have had a difficult upbringing. They do this through hikes, expeditions and other activities in the long fjords and mountains of Norway. DOE believes that the mix of nature and the outdoors, and coping will make you a better and stronger person. It is in nature you get to know who you are and who you want to be, and it lets you experience that anything is possible. Read more about DOE on page 73.

And several others

In addition to our more permanent partners, our products take part in a large amount of expeditions in Scandinavia as well as internationally. In 2014 they have been to Antarctica, crossed Greenland and Patagonia, The North and The South Pole, and climbed some of the world’s highest mountains. At home we have travelled across the entire length of Norway, and our Snota-testers have been all over the country – high and low. The best products are created when products are being used actively, and a large amount of testers work closely with our product developers. Last but not least we would like to extend a huge thanks to everyone who chose and trusted products from Helsport, these are a few of them: Stein P. Aasheim Virgile Charlot Lars Christian Vold Randi Skaug Lucas Santucci, Under the Pole Nanook, Tristan, Kim & Jochem Cuypers Michael Charavin Marek Kaminski Bengt Rotmo

TESTTEAM

Continuous testing of our products is very important when working with product development and innovation. It helps us create both better solutions and new products. We are lucky to have a test team consisting of engaged and active outdoorsmen - and women. They differ from each other in bot age and areas of interest, here you can get to know some of them a little bit better:

Bjarne Heyerdal Sætrang

VINCENT COLLIARD

KVS Lyngdal

Bjørn Tore moen

Matias Sando Modalsli

Simon Michalowicz

Bjarne is 43 years old and teaches nature science at a middle school in Haugesund, Norway. He has been doing outdoor activities and sport since childhood and enjoys hiking, fishing often and taking photos. Bjarne takes stunning images and tests several types of equipment from us throughout the year. He also has a blog where he post photographs, descriptions and product reviews, so we recommend to visit: bjarnesturblogg.blogspot.no/

At young age Bjørn Tore went on fishing trips with his dad. Already at the age of 6, he and a friend started to camp outdoors with a tent. In his youth his interests were music and photography, but in his early twenties he started to miss the beautiful outdoor trips he had. He was at that time overweight, but after a couple of months carrying a heavy backpack he had lost over 20 kg. “There have been a lot of trips the last couple of years; fishing, trekking in the mountains, ascending summits, kayaking and photographing. The opportunity to combine my two big passions, outdoor life and photography, makes the weight of my camera gear easier to carry.” || btmoen (Instagram)

Vincent is a French adventurer who climbs, surfs, sails and do long skiing expeditions – just to mention a few of his passions. We were introduced to Vincent through the many expeditions he does with Børge Ousland, and Vincent tests our products high and low, at sea and ashore. He runs the blog simple-voyage.com together with Lea Brassy to keep us updated on what the two of them are up to.

Matias is an active person who always has a lot of things going on, and who loves to work with people. He is engaged in many small and bigger projects related to outdoor life, and last year he completed the Arctic nature guide studies at Svalbard. One of his passions is filming, and he brings his camera everywhere he goes. He likes to share his experiences with the people around him, and he wants to motivate and inspire others to be more outdoors. www.youtube.com/mrgrotteland

Kvs Lyngdal is perhaps one of the most exciting high schools in Norway, a Christian boarding school with several majors and students from around the country. Helsport has partnered with the major Outdoor/ Extreme Sports, and they both test equipment and make movies for us. Are you interested in solid outdoor training, survival training, sport climbing, rafting or similar activities? Then we recommend you to check out www.kvs.no

Simon is 33 years and workas a web-editor. His main focus is to be out in the nature and enjoy the moments that come along the way. “The Norwegian outdoor life” fits him perfectly, and he prefers the really long hikes with a tent. “In 2013 I decided to quit my job and realize my plan to walk across Norway, from south to north. After 140 days I achieved my goal, and reached Nordkapp. This trip changed everything and gave me so much, even if it was really hard sometimes. The country and the people have been so friendly to me, and after the trip I have a really close connection to Norway. I really love the Norwegian nature and the outdoor life in these wonderful surroundings.” While writing this, he is on the same trip with skis. ||simonpatur (instagram)/www.simonpatur.de

Increase comfort in your tent on winter trips!

A very nice thing to do to make tenting more comfortable in the winter is to dig a cold sink inside the tent. Dig about one meter into the snow inside the awning, it will give you plenty of room to change, store, dangle your legs, cook and get visitors. Cold air will also gather in the pit and provide a more comfortable temperature inside the tent. Andreas Kjøndal Teacher KVS Lyngdal

Tips and tricks

MORE COMFORT IN YOUR LAVVU/Varanger Dome

For increased comfort and a good life inside of a lavvu, accessories play an important role. Inner tent and floor will raise standard of living considerably, and should be a natural part of your Varanger Dome or lavvu if you plan on active use. Stove and burner are both great alternatives to open flame; they are more energy efficient, create less smoke and is safer in terms of sparks. In the Varanger Dome, use of burner is not possible and use the stove only when use of flysheet alone. Drying rack and kettle holder is also something to consider in making life inside the tent lavvu convenient. Niklas Welzel

The inner tents can easily be taken in or out, so you can choose whether you want to sleep 6, 4 or have more storage space.There is also a large vestibule between the two inner tents, with one door on each side that makes it easy to get gear and people in and out. When camping on snow this vestibule makes the perfect place for building a cold pit. Fjellheimen 6 Camp is perfect for a whole family or a group of friends camping together. The option of taking out the inner tents also makes in very attractive as a basecamp-tent. Four-season ventilation makes this suitable for any adventure all year around. ------

Large tunnel tent with two entries and two vestibules for 4-seasons. Svea Camp is the largest tunnel tent in our X-Trem series. A tall inner-tent is valuable comfort if you are weather-bound, and on trips where you generally spend lots of time inside the tent. With two entrances and two vestibules you ensure that one entrance always is sheltered from wind. It also provides the flexibility of storing luggage in one room and to cook in another. The vestibules can also be separated for some more privacy on longer trips. Svea has an aerodynamic construction especially meant to withstand strong winds. This, combined with storm flaps, many pegs and guy lines makes Svea a safe shelter. For increased security in extreme winds some wish to use double poles, and that is possible on this tent.

The world’s 20 largest glaciers in 10 years August 4th 2014 was the starting point for the project IceLegacy, and with it Borge Ousland and Vincent Colliard’s mission to be the first people who cross the 20 largest glaciers on Earth. The project has two goals: 1. To document the drastic climate changes that are taking place in the Arctic. They will test and collect information on each glacier, and provide scientists with information they have never accessed before. In addition, they will work on spreading knowledge about glaciers recessions and its consequences with as many as possible. 2. Transferring Børges vast knowledge and experience of Arctic expeditions to the next generation of explorers. Everyone here at Helsport is proud to be able to follow Børge and Vincent on this important journey, and we look forward to following the developments over the next 10 years! We can recommend everyone who think this sounds exciting to visit www.icelegacy.com

The team:

the legend and the youngster ”Børge Ousland is arguably the most accomplished polar explorer alive!” National Geographic Adventure, februar 2006 With more than 20 years experience of record-breaking Arctic and Antarctic expeditions, Norwegian Børge Ousland became the first person to complete a solo expedition to the North Pole without resupplying. As a Nansen and Amundsen heir, he was also the first to cross the Antarctic continent alone. Børge is a renowned photo and documentary filmmaker who has received several international awards for his expeditions and films.

Børge Ousland

“Vincent Colliard is an energetic young and strong person with the ability to forge ahead even of everyone else is out of order” Børge Ousland during “Northern Passage” film - 2010 French Vincent Colliard, 28, is a young adventurer with previous expedition experience in Norway, Patagonia and Himalaya. In 2010, he was a crewmember aboard « Northern Passage » with his mentor Børge Ousland during the first historic circumnavigation of the Arctic ocean in one season. They also have been partners on other expeditions such as the first ski crossing of isolated Nordauslandet in Spitsbergen and also in Patagonia on the southern ice cap.

Patagonia

The ultimate expedition tent developed with Børge Ousland. Patagonia is developed in close cooperation between Helsport and Børge Ousland, based on Børges experiences from 25 years of expeditions in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Security is always critical on such trips, and this tent has all the necessary details for safe and simple handling during the worst conditions. The aerodynamic construction is especially important in wind. The tent will not be pushed down in strong winds, but instead the wind will flow over the tent-roof. In addition to increased stability, the construction also saves weight, because the tent uses shorter poles and less fabric. The positioning of the poles, as well as their angle also makes the tent extra suitable for extreme wind. Enough height when you get weather-bound.

Patagonia withstands extreme strains, particularly wind, and the strength of the tent can increase even more by using double poles. There is room in all pole-channels, and a double pole-cup is standard. This tent really is optimal for winter-use; every single detail is developed to make sure things works as easy and functional as possible, and is manageable with mittens. The storm flaps with integrated peg loops is in one piece around the tent. This reduces the pitching time especially during windy conditions. The peg loops are wide and not too long, perfect for pitching the tent with skis. Ventilation is an important aspect on all tents. Patagonia has two angled vents on both sides that are placed high enough so they do not pack up with snow, despite windy conditions. In addition there are two centered vents placed high in the front and rear. Together these four vents create a safe and flexible venting system.

Børge Ousland

for extreme conditions

- I have personally experienced being beaten to the ground by strong winds and seen sleds blow over my tent on the icecap in Patagonia. Extreme conditions require a tent to be extremely strong and easy to handle. Børge Ousland

STORM FLAPS: The storm flaps with integrated peg loops is in one piece around the tent. This reduces the pitching time especially during windy conditions. The peg loops are wide and not too long, perfect for pitching the tent with skis.

POLE CHANNELS: Patagonia is delivered with a double set of poles, and the pole channels and pole cups are dimensioned for both one and two poles. Using two poles provide extra safety and stability. The pole cup and glove-friendly solutions makes pitching and packing easier in extreme weather

Guy Lines: The tent has double guy points on all guy lines. This reduces the number of pegs, and makes it easier to pitch the tent. To get an even distribution of force on the guy points the guy lines are connected through rings.

Inner tent: Inner tent with 360° zipper for easy opening and ventilation

Zipper: Patagonia is equipped with a strong zipper that doesn’t freeze. This is based on Børges many experiences using zippers in extremely cold weather conditions.

Sled bag: To protect the tent, and make it as easy as possible to pack the sleigh, it comes with a specially designed sled bag. The technique of packing down a tent with the poles inside the channels makes the tent very easy to set up and take down, even in strong winds. This is crucial in extreme weather.

Patagonia was used by Baffin Babes on their expedition to South-Georgia, 2012.

The svalbard collection Since its launch in 1999 our Svalbard has been part of numerous expeditions, and have a pretty impressive merit list to show for after all these years. Here are few adventures these tents have taken on:

2000 - Purmo Greenland Expedition

The fastest crossings of Greenland ever; 600 km in only 13 days and 2 hours was made of Marek Kaminski og Wojtek Ostowski.

2002 - Shackletons footsteps across South-Georgia

2003 -Transpatagonian Glacier Travers

Liv Arnesen with husband Einar Glestad, Ulf Prytz and Anders Huitfeldt walked Shackletons route on South-Georgia.

Svalbard high camp Svalbard camp

Børge Ousland and Thomas Ulrich became the first to ever cross the trans Patagonian glacier in South America unassisted.

2004 -Two poles, only one arm and leg

16-year-old polish Jan Mela, together Marek Kaminsju and Wojciech Ostrowski, reached the South Pole on Dec 31th 2004, and completed with that his journey to two poles in one year, with only one leg and one arm.

5 camp

Probably one the world’ most experienced expedition tents. Proven itself on the North Pole, South Pole, Greenland and the world’s highest mountains, Svalbard can be described as a master of expeditions. Few other tents have so many merits and are so well known from the base-camp as our Svalbard. Materials and details have been thoroughly tested. Its construction combines the best from dome and tunnel tents, and withstands the harshest conditions. The dome makes the tent extra stabile in strong winds, but also provides more space and height inside, which increases the comfort level when weather-bound or generally spend loads of time inside the tent. For increased security in extreme winds some choose to use double poles, and that is possible on this tent. Svalbard has, since its introduction in 1999 been both developed and improved, but remain our flagship in the X-Trem category, and through the years it has won consumer tests as 4-season and as an expedition tent. A very good choice for longer winter trips, in tough conditions with strong winds and when you value an extra level of comfort. -----

Project ”Hamar to the top” was part of a teaching project with students from Hamar high schools followed a Norwegian Everestexpedition during school time. From the north side of Everest, Aleksander Gamme and Stian Voldmo reached the top. This was the beginning of our cooperation with Gamme.

Jørgen Amundsen and his crew went to Antarctica on an expedition in Roald Amundsens spirit – exactly 100 years after he became the first to set foot on the South Pole. This expedition´s primary focus was the challenges we will have to face in the next 100 years; the climate changes. The penguin became a focus in their attempt to great awareness on the subject.

Friluftsliv winter edition 2010:

Svalbard 6 Camp is ideal as a basecamp-tent, and the best choice for a large group camping during winter. Good height provides extra space and comfort, something you will appreciate if weather-bound or generally just spending more time inside the tent. With two entrances there is always one in shelter from the wind. It also simplifies access. Because all poles are crossing, this tent withstands tough wind-and weather conditions extra well. In addition to a very solid and stabile construction, this also generates more space and height inside. For extra safety in extreme wind some choose to use double poles, at which is possible on this tent.

Fjellheimen x-trem camp

2 camp 3 camp 4 camp

A spacious winter tent for weight conscious adventurers.

”Best 4 season tent” 2006 “Best tunnel tent” 2010

Our Fjellheimen-series in known for offering generous volume at a low weight. The X-Trem version is no exception, and our lightest X-Trem tent compared to size. The tent was developed together with professional users of the standard model; they loved the tent so much, they wanted an extreme version they could use in more challenging conditions. The result was a tent with the same measurements and volume, but with storm flaps, reinforced guy-line points and several details making it better suited for the most extreme winter conditions. It has an excellent combination of low weight, compact pack-volume and a high safety level.

Although Fjellheimen X-Trem has become a sought-after tent for expeditions, it is also a very popular 4-season tent amongst those who want a safe shelter all year around. It has been awarded “best in test” several times by large consumer testing of 4-season tents. -----

The world’s longest solo skiing expedition

To the South pole and back with Aleksander Gamme

-adventurer and polar explorer, used Fjellheimen X-Trem for the world’s longest solo skiexpedition on the South Pole.

-87 days -2280 km -alone -to the South pole and back

Hel s port

2015

In 2012, Aleksander Gamme completed the world’s longest solo ski trip when he alone, and unsupported, skied to the South Pole and back. Many attempted before him and failed, but after 87 days alone in the icy wilderness, with 2280 kilometers behind him, Aleksander pitched his tent - at the goal in Hercules Inlet. With him on this trip was the tent Fjellheimen X-Trem 3 Camp, Polheim sleeping bag, Svalbard Expedition down jacket and Langfjellet Light backpack. ”In Antarctica, I chose a Fjellheimen X-trem tent. Some might think it’s odd that I chose a tunnel tent on the world’s windiest continent, but the advantages of the tunnel construction are many. At the Antarctic plateau the risk of heavy snowfall is small and the wind direction relatively stable, so the tent practically stood along the direction of the wind through the night. Fjellheimen X-trem, and tunnel tents in general, are very easy to pitch up, especially when you are alone. This was also a crucial factor, both in terms of safety and efficiency.” Aleksander Gamme

the Wegge-brothers

-- There are still some waves no one has surfed before -- There as still some snow-covered mountains few have explored -- There is an island far, far north

In late April 20013 brothers Haakon, Inge and Markus Wegge travelled to Bjørnøya (Bear Island) to fulfill the dream they had been planning for 2 years. They spent two months there surfing, living in lavvu, snowboarding, skiing, kiting, fishing and playing. Two months without seeing friends, families and girlfriends. Two months with just enough food – all leftover food from restaurants or food passed their expiration dato placed in store garbage cans. Those two months became a true adventure and an incredible experience difficult to describe in words.

Since we introduced the world’s first tunnel tent in 1970, we have been considered leading in the development of quality tents. If you choose us, we guarantee you a tent where every detail is truly considered, tested in the most extreme conditions and adapted to the requirements a modern mountain tent should have. Our everyday goal is to make the world´s best tent, and with our warranty we guarantee outstanding service throughout the product’s lifetime. On the following pages, you can read about all the details that that make Helsport tents world class.

CONSTRUCTION Our many years of experience, combined with contributions from active users and testing, has resulted in tents with a correct, aerodynamic construction that optimizes use of the floor area. Helsport´s tent collection includes three different constructions: tunnel, dome and lavvu. The different constructions are adapted to different usage and have pros and cons. It is therefore important to choose the construction that fits your adventures

TUNNEL TENTS In 1970, Helsport launched the world’s first tunnel tent, and it is still our most used tent design. The tunnel design is used in everything from our Superlight tents to our expedition tents. The greatest benefit with this design is its low weight compared to its volume, and quick and easy pitching. This construction is perfect for those who move camp often.

DOME TENTS The dome tents are constructed with crossing poles. This slightly increases the weight and the time that it takes to pitch the tent. At the same time this design gives you a sturdier construction that can withstand more wind and snow. Helsport´s tent collection consists of both freestanding dome tents and non-freestanding tents. Freestanding tents can be used without pegs and guy lines, and are perfect for rocky camps and hard ground surfaces. Anyhow we recommend use of guy lines and pegs whenever possible.

LAVVU The great benefit of the lavvu design is its inside height and comfort. The tall single centre pole design makes for steep walls that easily sheds rain and snow. The height of the lavvu, combined with its steep walls, leads to large surfaces that require sturdy use of guy lines so it can withstand strong winds.

pole channel system All Helsport tents have an internal pole channel system. There are two very important reasons why we have chosen to use internal instead of external pole channels: 1. The seams are waterproof, as we avoid open seams along the roof. 2. Internal poles [pic1] make the tent a lot more wind stable, because you can tighten the sheet more. Stability minimizes movement and decreases noise from the outer sheet. External pole channels [pic 2] gives more vibration and can lead to decreased stability. Vibration also gives more noise from the outer sheet. This will naturally affect your night sleep when it´s windy.

[pic 1]

[pic 2]

This is how it works: Some think it´s harder threading the poles when the channels are internal. We have eliminated these problems by threading the pole from the outside and into a closed channel on the opposite side. The system we have made for inserting and attaching the pole make this quick and easy. You pitch the tent by threading the pole from the outside and in to the internal pole channel. The colour coded channel opening is marked with reflecting materials to simplify pitching the tent when it´s dark. The colour coded opening matches the colour on the respective pole. The pole stops in a reinforced pocket and a sturdy pole cup holds the other end. The sheet is tightened by pulling the adjustment webbing.

POLES Pole construction: A lot of producers makes it easy for themselves when the they produce poles for their tents; they have few categories, with one pole dimension for each category. What we do differently than most producers is that we consider every single pole: A pole in a Helsport tent is a function of the length of the roof curve, the diameter of the pole and the tents height. Based on this, including the placement of the pole, we decide the diameter, the degree of bending, and the length of each section. In short: all our poles are customized to each tent model. This lengthy process gives maximal strength and flexibility in each pole for every tent model. The process is done after recommendation and a close cooperation with two of our main suppliers, two of the best producers of quality poles in the world: Yunan and DAC. It is quick and easy to put our poles together, even under extreme weather conditions, as the elastic cord that is mounted inside the poles is cold resistant. In addition, all of the poles are colour coded, so you’ll know which pole goes into which channel Our pole types: TREK-poles: All tents in this category have Yunan Pressfit-poles, made by aluminium alloy 7001-T6. This alloy has very high tensile strength and sturdy resistance to permanent bending, and has been a safe choice for our tents for many years.

PRO and X-TREM poles: All tents in these two categories have DAC Featherlite NSL-poles. The poles have an expanded end that gives up to 20% increased strength on the ends compared to the middle of the pole sections. This makes it possible to use thinner tube walls and reduce total weight of the poles, while maintaining the strength of the pole. The poles are produced with an anodizing treatment that minimizes the use of chemicals. This treatment is more environmentally friendly than traditional treatments.

LAVVU-poles: We have two different types of poles for the lavvus. Varanger, LavvuLight and Finnmark have lightweight aluminium poles with a compact design developed by Helsport. The remaining models uses durable and robust steel poles

GAPAHUK- and MULTIDUKpoles: Both gapahuk and multiduk comes with segments of aluminium poles.

ZIPPERS The zipper is an important component of a tent, which is why Helsport uses zippers from the world’s leading zipper producer YKK. The YKK zippers are solid and easy to use under all conditions. On most of the models the outer zipper has a flap that prevents water leaking through the zipper. The flap also gives protection against dirt, dust or icing under cold conditions.

MESH GEAR LOFT All X-TREM tents come with a removable mesh gear loft for the inner tent, which can be used for drying or storing light equipment.

STORM FLAPS All of our X-TREM tents come with storm flaps. These are tents designed for the most extreme conditions, and the storm flaps keeps the tent closer to the ground, especially under strong winds. Storm flaps can be important to have when you’re camping on rocky or hard surfaces where it´s difficult to find placements for the pegs and guy lines, and when the surface is loose like snow or sand. If it is hard to find placements for the pegs you can secure the tent by placing snow or rocks on the storm flaps. This is especially important on trips during fall/winter when there isn’t enough snow to dig down into, the wind is strong and it´s difficult to use pegs. We´ve experienced that a lot of people travelling in Nordic conditions want storm flaps, and many have bought tents without it and later sent their tents to us for custom mounting of storm flaps. When you have storm flaps the ventilation in the tent becomes more important. That´s why we recommend to also mount an extra vent when you want storm flaps mounted. Read more about storm flaps and ventilation on page 57.

GUY LINES All tents have reinforced guy points and all X-Trem-tents have reinforced guy point skirts. The guy point skirts are mounted onto extra wind exposed surfaces on the tent, and gives increased wind stability and anchoring of your tent. The guy points have integrated cords that collect the guy lines to prevent tangled guy lines. The guy lines are produced with tightly woven polyester and have a tensile strength of 75 kg. PRO and X-TREM tents have reflecting threads woven into the guy lines, which makes them easier to find in the dark

INNER AND OUTER TENT CONNECTION All Helsport tents are pitched with the inner and outer tent connected. This setup is faster than aetup where you have to pitch the inner tent first. This also ensure that the inner tent stays dry in case of rain during setup. The inner tent is connected to the outer tent with a user friendly system consisting of side release buckles, snap hooks and elastic cords. This connection makes the pitching incredibly fast and easy, and ensures optimal distance between the inner and outer tent for maximum ventilation and minimum condensation If you wish to share the weight of the tent with others, or only use the outer tent, you can easily disconnect the inner tent. You can also disconnect parts of the inner tent so you get one large room for resting or eating. The inner tent is not connected to the outer tent when delivered, but after you connect it the first time, you do not have to disconnect it except when drying or servicing. To correctly align the inner and outer tent during assembly, simply start with the connection point marked red.

PEG LOOPS Some of our tent models come with adjustable peg loops in the front..These peg loops allow you to easily adjust and tighten the tent without having to move the pegs. The peg loops are made of tightly woven polyester with reinforced seams/sheet.

PEGS All our aluminium pegs are anodized for corrosion resistance and colored red to make them easy to locate on the ground.

SUPERLIGHT: For our lightest tents we have chosen an extremely lightweight alu-peg weighing only 6 grams.

X-TREM: V-shaped peg in aluminium weighing 15 gram and 19 cm long.

TREK/PRO: V-shaped peg in aluminium weighing 12 gram and 15 cm long. The v-construction results in a rigid peg with low weight.

LAVVU: The big lavvus come with V-pegs made of steel weighing 36 grams and 18,5 cm long.

Tips and tricks

Do you get cold easily?

If you are afraid of freezing when sleeping outside you can put a thermos of hot water and a drinking bottle easy accessible before you go to bed. If you wake up cold you can pour hot water into the drinking bottle and put it inside your sleeping bag. You body will heat up very quickly! Notice: It is very important that the bottle is completely closed. Use a dry sack if you want extra security against leakage. Andreas KjĂ¸ndal Teacher KVS Lyngdal

HELSPORT AIRFLOW II® VENTILATION SYSTEM A good ventilation system will prevent condensation, and dramatically improve the inside climate and the sleeping comfort. The ventilation system achieves this in two ways: through ventilation and air exchange. Ventilation must ensure an even and steady flow of fresh air/oxygen through the tent (for reasons of both safety and sleep), and at the same time remove condensation. You achieve the best results by having a constant and controlled stream of air through the tent. Air exchange can be compared with opening windows in your home to get a quick exchange of air to ensure a good atmospheric and thermal inner climate.

FLOW

ventilation system

On Helsport´s many tent models there are a number of different vents and ventilation systems. It´s varied between simple vents with bungee cord closure and zippered closure, skirt ventilation and ventilation on the roof. The main source of ventilation comes from pulling fresh air from the ground and letting warm and humid air escape high in the tent. Warm air rises, and by warming the air inside the tent a natural flow of air is created. Atmospheric inner climate Helsport Airflow II® ventilation system transports the humidity out of the tent and ensures a good thermal inner climate. This prevents a greater extent of condensation. Humidity caused by condensation can reduce the insulating abilities of clothing and sleeping bags, and the air can feel clammy and heavy. A good thermal inner climate will improve your comfort level inside the tent.

Cold air, rich with oxygen enters through vents on ground level, and the warm, oxygen depleted air goes out through the vents higher up.

Thermal inner climate Helsport Airflow II® ventilation system transports the humidity out of the tent and ensures a good thermal inner climate. This prevents a greater extent of condensation. Humidity caused by condensation can reduce the insulating abilities of clothing and sleeping bags, and the air can feel clammy and heavy. A good thermal inner climate will improve your comfort level inside the tent.

This is how it works: -- Cold and fresh air, rich of oxygen enters below the outer tent and through vents on ground level. This insures circulation and exchanging of humid air in the inner tent and the layer between the inner and the outer tent. -- Warm, humid and oxygen depleted air rises and escapes through the mesh door on the inner tent on the opposite side and further through a vent placed on the outer tent. The opening has to be regulated dependant on how many people there are in the tent. If there are two mesh doors in the inner tent, it`s important that one of them is kept closed so to stop it from disrupting the airflow.

Ventilation under extreme conditions In all of our tents (except the Superlight-series) the ventilation system is fully closable. The ventilation can be closed during winter use, and the mosquito mesh and fabric door can be opened and closed independently.

All X-TREM tents are equipped with storm flaps. In these cases a system like Airflow II® is critical to allow fresh air to enter the tent. If you buy a tent with storm flaps, or get this mounted later, a circulation vent is vital to allow fresh air to enter the tent. When we mount storm flaps on tents that don’t have them originally, we always recommend to mount an extra air intake vent. This air intake vent is also important for tents without storm flaps, because during winter use, the snow will pack around the tent and prevents air to enter below the outer tent. For this reason, all of our PRO-tents have 5-season ventilation just like the ventilation our X-Trem-tents with storm flaps. A lot of tents are produced assuming good circulation under the tent. When these tents are packed with snow, good ventilation is a lot harder to achieve when they don´t have the vital circulation vent. For tents that are meant to be used during wintertime, vents have to be mounted higher up on the tent wall to prevent snow from blocking them. Remember that you can use the inner door as a vent to contribute to better airflow. Breathable materials are used to improve indoor climate and to prevent condensation even with closed vents.

Condensation The condensation that occurs in a tent is water vapour in the air becoming liquid water. It is important to understand the problem with condensation that occurs in a tent. sources There are three main reasons why condensation occurs in a tent: - from the persons inside the tent (breath, humid body and wet equipment) - from the air and the ground - from cooking During the night a body releases around 0,5 litres of water. This is moisture partially collected by clothes and sleeping bags, but some is also caught up by the tent. The condensation increases when there is high humidity and/or low temperatures. Condensation collects on cold surfaces, where the outer tent and the ground sheet are most vulnerable. Condensation is formed both on the out- and the inside of the fabrics. Wind and rain can cause movement in the outer tent and condensation can drop down from the inside of the outer tent, often misinterpreted as a leaking tent. Condensation can also easily occur between the ground sheet and your sleeping mattress. The vestibule does not have a ground sheet and condensation from the ground or from cooking can collect on the inside of the outer tent.

Inner tent In addition to the ventilation system, which is optimized for reducing condensation, the inner tent also contributes to reduce condensation: it reduces the difference in temperature on both sides of the outer tent. The connection between the inner and outer tent ensures correct distance between the two sheets, and good airflow.

Skirt ventilation system Our “Skirt ventilation system” is also another system that reduces condensation. This system gives you the option to open a part of the outer tent to create more intake of air down by the ground. It maximizes the ventilation between the inner and outer tent, and minimizes the condensation.

Footprint To protect and minimize condensation from the ground sheet, and to increase comfort it is very efficient to use a footprint. They are sold separately with almost every tent model.

FABRICS CHOOSING FABRICS There is a big difference in quality and price on components and fabrics. These factors have a huge impact on durability, water resistance and tear strength. Choosing fabrics are crucial for the products lifetime and performance. Helsport has developed a unique understanding and competence for choosing the right fabrics for long durability. OUTER TENT FABRICS As a consumer it is difficult to compare product info. International standard EN 343 defines fabrics to be waterproof if they have water column rating higher than 800mm. Many consumers can be misled to judge a fabric´s quality based simply on its reported water resistance. Different manufacturers might use different methods to test the water column, and non-standardized test results may vary as much as several hundred percent. However it is not the water column that is important when new, but the fabric’s ability to maintain its water resistance over time. In Helsport we set very high standards for our fabrics, and use standardized tests for measuring water column (ISO 811) and tear strength (ISO 13937-4). HELSPORT RAINGUARD® and HELSPORT RAINGUARD® FR: For our TREK-tents and lavvus we use a specially developed polyester, Helsport Rainguard®, which has a water column of minimum 3000 mm. The polyester is constructed to keep the flysheet tight even under changing weather- and temperature conditions. It also comes in a fire retardant edition, FR, used in tents and lavvus making it possible to safely use open flames inside. HELSPORT SUPERLIGHT®3000: The Superlight tents use a polyamide micro ripstop fabric. This fabric is woven by a very thin (15D) thread that provides super lightweight materials. It is also coated on both sides with a silicone coating, which results in high tear strength and durability, while providing a water column of 2000 mm.

HELSPORT SUPERLIGHT®2000: Helsport Superlight®2000 is a lighter outer tent fabric designed specially for the Light-models in the PRO-category. Helsport Superlight®2000 is woven with a 20D polyamide thread. The fabrics have a high tear strength, silicone coating and is waterproof with a water column of minimum 2000 mm.

HELSPORT SUPERLIGHT®1000: For the rest of the PRO and X-TREM tents we have developed a solid outer tent fabric. It is over eight times more durable and tear resistant than normal fabrics, woven with the finest thread and coated on both sides with silicon. Naturally this fabric also features strong resistance to UV-rays and excellent fabric stability under changing weather and temperature conditions. It has a water column of minimum 3000 mm. This fabric is also used as a ground sheet for the SuperLight tents.

INNER TENT FABRICS POLYESTER: The inner tent fabrics we use in our TREK tents are a silicon-impregnated polyester. The fabric is water repellent and highly breathable. Polyester does not absorb moisture and dries quickly. It weighs only 60gr/m2. RIPSTOP SUPERLIGHT® POLYAMID: The fabrics used in our PRO and X-TREM tents, are light and strong polyamide fabrics. The ripstop increases the tear strength and the fabrics are highly water repellent and breathable. The Superlight tents have a ripstop material in polyamide, which is woven in 15D thread. This fabric has very high breathability, which is important for reducing condensation. In addition, the fabric is impregnated to keep out any condensation that might drop from the outer tent. Ground sheet POLYAMID SI: Ground sheets are a critical component of all tents, because they are exposed to additional wear and tear. Helsport´s ground sheets are based on the same requirements we set for our outer tent fabrics, but have increased durability and tear strength. The surface facing down to the ground is coated with silicone, which prevents water penetration and reduces drying time. This increases the lifetime of our tents. The PU-coating on the inside secures a high water column of minimum 5000 mm. It is not recommended to expose the fabrics to UV-rays over a longer period, as it will degrade the fabric treatment.

SEAMS, TEAR STRENGTH AND WATER COLUMN Producing high quality tent fabrics is challenging, because it consists of so many different factors that need to work together optimally. For example, many consumers can be misled to judge a fabric´s quality based simply on its water resistance. We think the key behind the best fabrics is the combination between a sufficiently high water column, high tear strength and choice of seam and thread. METHODS/THREAD The seams are crucial for a tent´s quality, and that’s also why the placement of the seams is important. Seams with the greatest strain are sewn with double-needle stitching. Double-needle stitching is the only seam that won´t come apart if a thread is broken. Other load bearing points are reinforced with a special bartack seam. For example the peg points have bartack seam and extra reinforcement. The seams on the tent are placed and oriented water can´t collect at the seam edge, but instead run off easily.

The combination of a bartack seam and the placement of the seam relative to the poles results in a waterproof construction.

In addition to a well-considered seam placement, we use a special developed sewing thread. The thread has a polyester core spun with cotton that has a water repellent treatment. When cotton gets moist it expands and seals the hole made by the sewing needle, which makes the seams even more waterproof. If there are some drops that penetrate through the seam, use a silicone seam sealer (comes with all of our tents) and this will be fixed. SEAMS IN THE FLOOR Some producers choose to weld the seam in the floor, but our tents are made using a silicone treated floor sheet with no welds. Using our waterproof threads and sowing techniques, our seams are still waterproof, even without welding. Our lavvus, on the other hand, cannot be treated with silicone, as this reduces the effectiveness of the flame retardant treatment, and hence have welded seams. TEAR STRENGTH It is important to note that tear strength only describes a fabric’s ability to resist further tearing after an initial cut. I high tear strength increases resistance to further tearing. For tents, this also affects how the fabric behaves along seams and around guy points etc. Tear strength is affected by four factors; material, thread thickness, construction, and coating. The first three factors are directly linked to the fabric itself. A strong material, with thicker threads and reinforcement threads, gives a proportionally higher tear strength. That the coating also affects the tear strength might be more of a challenge to understand. Picture an area of a fabric where a tear is developing. A less flexible coating, like PU, will lead to an uneven tension in the fabric, and the threads can tear one by one. If, on the other hand, the coating is more flexible, like silicone, the tension will spread more evenly across more threads, which dramatically increases tear strength. We test our materials according to international standard ISO 139734. In our PRO and X-TREM tents we use Helsport Superlight® 1000, which with a tear strength of over 20 kg is among the strongest on the market. WATERPROOFING By international standard EN 343, a water column rating of 800mm is considered to be waterproof. But it’s not the water column for a new fabric that is important, but the fabric’s ability to retain a high rating over time. Water column is measured by exposing a textile sample to an increasing water pressure. The test is halted when 3 droplets of water have passed through the textile sample.

TRYKK-KAMMER

TEKSTIL Fabric

ØKENDE VANNTRYKK increasing water pressure Simplified sketch of how the water column is measured.

Different areas of use requires different levels of water column rating. The outer tent needs resistance against rain, wind and snow, but is exposed to a totally different water pressure than the floor, which might be pressed down against wet ground. Helsport has therefore chosen a fabric with a higher water column rating for the floor than for the outer tent. It is important to also notice that silicone and PU coating degrades over time. Bending and creasing of the material and exposure to UV rays from the sun will lead to a reduction of the water column rating. By starting with a higher rating than 800mm, the total lifetime of a tent is increased.

tips and tricks:

down or fiber

Down is a natural material and no synthetic fiber can match the insulating levels of down. Down offers premium insulation with lightweight and small volume, which is the ideal for any sleeping bag. The major disadvantage with down is that the insulation properties of down can be greatly reduced if it becomes wet. A sleeping bag with fiber insulation however will retain more of its insulation value even if it becomes wet and is safer in the case of tearing of the shell fabric.

Review:

Consistently good quality. Possible to sit inside the bag with both hands out. Very good ventilation opportunities and roomy fit.

Extra wide and comfortable bag with mesh along full-length zipper. Glitterheim sleeping bag series have been designed with a focus on comfort and user-friendliness seen in smart details fit for shorter hikes in tent or cabin. The unique Helsport AirVent™ system gives you the opportunity to vent the bag from an extra side zipper. This increases the range of use significantly. It is also possible to sit with the bag over your shoulders with both of your arms out. Glitterheim is constructed with a wider cut where the bottom and the top of the bag are stitched together directly. This gives a spacious bag with more room to move in. The extra width and several ventilation solutions make the bag more comfortable than regular bags with a mummy shape. If you want a spacious, airy and user-friendly sleeping bag to use summer as well as early spring and fall, the Glitterheim Airvent is the right bag for you. -- Helsport AirVent™ system for extra air circulation in the whole ------

Sleeping bag adjustable in four lengths, as the child grows. Mini is designed to fit the children as they grow and become older. You can adjust the length of the bag as the child grows longer so that the sleeping bag always has the correct length, and the child will not have to heat up unnecessary air. The bag can be adjusted to 60, 80, 90 and 115 cm length. These are lengths suitable from 6 months age until 5 years (max. 115 cm body height)

-you get a very versatile bag at a highly affordable price.

Mini has zippers on both sides so that it is easy to get the child in and out. The snug hood ensures proper protection for small heads and the mummy shaped bag provides higher insulation. No-slide fabric at the back of the bag prevents the bag from slipping, and a seat-strap keeps the bag in place when used in pulks. It is also possible for the child to sit with arms out of the bag. This can be practical when camping or to secure a smaller child. The bag has comfortable micro polyester inner fabric and water repellent ripstop outer fabric to support heavy use and easy cleaning. -----------

JUNIOR

Helsport Junior Flex is a concept created with the idea that children should be able to manage as much as possible on their own.

Easy handeling features

Developing these sleeping bags in close cooperation with many children, we learned that adjusting and packing the bag where the two main things they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t manage on their own. Therefore the details on these bags are yellow, making it easy to understand and figure out how to regulate. The compression bag is extra large, with a roll top so the kids easily can pack down the sleeping bag themselves.

Compression bag with operation instruction Fot end can easily be zipped inside the bag to adjust the length

Two-way zipper and glow in dark puller

Pillow pocket. No-Slide base (Alta and Isfjorden)

Isolation The hood (only on Alta and Isfjorden) has extra insulation, and the adjustment cord can easily be stowed away in a small pocket, to make sure no cords are around face area while sleeping. An adult can do this particular adjustment in advance.

Extra filling around the opening (Alta and Isfjorden)

Quick hood closure that can be stowed away

Lasting for years

The Helsport Junior Flex concept consists of length-adjustable sleeping bags made for children from 130 to 160 cm. You can easily adjust the length by pushing the foot end inside the bag and close the end with a zipper. Then you have a shorter sleeping bag with extra insulation in the foot end. These are sleeping bags for those who want their children to have a bag for several years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and learn to use it.

Adjustable sleeping bag for kids, with details they can manage. Elg Junior Flex is an adjustable sleeping bag for children between 130-160 cm. You can easily adjust the length by tucking the foot end inside the bag, close the end with a zipper, and then you have a shorter bag with extra insulation in the foot-end for the youngest. Elg is the thinnest bag in the Junior-Flex concept and is most suitable as a spring and summer bag. With two layers of lightweight fiber this reduces heat loss. As the rest of the Junior Flex-series, Elg has yellow details so the kids easily can manage and adjust the bag on their own. It also has a large compression bag with roll top so they can pack down their sleeping bag without any help. -----------

Alta lady

New

Special version of Alta with unique features to keep woman’s warm. Alta Lady is customized to fit the female body´s shape. From nature’s side women need more insulation than men to maintain the same temperature. It is also documented that women not just get cold more easily, but also differently. Research show that women generally experience more heat loss than men around the hips and feet. Because of those facts Alta Lady is stitched so that it is narrower around the shoulders and wider around the hips than the standard model, to increase comfort and prevent heat loss. To further prevent heat loss, it also has an extra layer of insulation in the foot end and a taller warm collar around the neck. Alta Lady is perfect for trips in the spring, summer and fall! --------

The Dale oen experience The Dale Oen Experience believes that outdoors activity is the key in becoming the person you want to be! We want all children and young adults to have the same opportunities, and be able to see that they can achieve whatever they set their mind to - no matter who they are or what their background is. Alexander and brother Robin dreamt of showing that you could do what you want, if you want it enough. The plan was just for Alexander to win Olympic gold in London 2012 first, and then the brothers Dale Oen were to start The Dale Oen Experience (DOE) together. Unfortunately, things turned out differently. But even though Alexander was taken away from us, his dream lives on. The Dale Oen Experience was created in Alexander’s memory, and Robin runs it with the brothers’ philosophy and vision as a strong foundation. The Dale Oen Experience is a non-profit organization aimed to facilitate experiences and coping among children and young adults who may not have had an easy life. We do this through tours, expeditions and other activities in Norwegian long fjords and mountains. We believe that the mix of nature and the outdoors, and basic survival can help make anyone a better person. It is in the nature you get to know who you are and who you want to be, and it is by coping you experience that anything is possible. In 2013 The Dale Oen Experience took children and young adults on adventures to Femunden, Lofoten, Øygarden, Vadsø, they completed Amundsen Race and crossed the Northwest passage. In November they opened The Dale Oen Center in Øygården, Norway! Having Helsport as a partner to The Dale Oen Experience is something we value highly. Helsport has world-class equipment and clothing, and cares personally that their customers get the optimal equipment for their use. The Dale Oen Experience is proud to call Helsport a partner and look forward to 2015. Follow us on new adventures on www.daleoen.com. Robin Dale Oen, General Manager The Dale Oen Experience

Helsport for women

Sleeping bag for women

In 2011 Helsport introduced our very first sleeping bag series designed specifically for women. The sleeping bag was developed in cooperation with both female adventurers and active female outdoor enthusiasts, as well as conducting scientific tests in the laboratory. These studies revealed the differences between men and women when using sleeping bags: 1. Women have a greater overall heat loss than men, and need more insulation in order to maintain the same temperature balance 2. Women are more sensitive to cooling of the skin, in particularly on hands and feet 3. The female body shape dictates a different sleeping bag cut in order to optimise the use of insulation: a shorter length, a more narrow shoulder part and a wider hip zone.

Shorter length

2. W’s WideZone™:

Perfect shape for women with shorter length, a wider hip zone and a more narrow shoulder part – this gives an optimal layer of air around the body, making it more easy to maintain body warmth inside the bag.

3. W’s HeatForFeet™: The foot part of the fiber bag is filled with down for luxurious insulation, - this gives instant warmth sensation and prevents heat loss from the feet.

Narrower shoulder section

Wide hip zone

THE MAKING OF HULDREHEIMEN

Experienced female adventurers and outdoor people were asked about what they want from a sleeping bag. These women know how important it is to stay warm during the night in order to wake up rested and ready for a new day. A special "thank you" goes to The Norwegian Trekking Association and the female adventure group Baffin Babes for their enthusiastic and much appreciated input to the project. In addition to the users, we contacted the best experts on physiology and temperature regulation at SINTEF and Thelma-Test in Trondheim. A big project was conducted in order to investigate the physiological differences between the sexes. The experts found several physiological explanations as to why women freeze more easily.

Cooperation with the Baffin Babes

Emma Simonsson

Baffin Babes has used Helsport tents and sleeping bags since their first trip to Baffin Island in 2009. Since then, they have also been involved in the making of the expedition bag Kongsfjorden and Helsport’s sleeping bag series for women Huldreheimen. Helsport have used the girls’ vast experience from expeditions to make the Huldreheimen concept even better for women’s needs. We greatly appreciate working with the talented and always enthusiastic Baffin-girls.

Awarded sleeping bag with unique features to keep women warm.

Awarded: The award for Design Excellence 2011

The Huldreheimen series is customized for fit a female body shape. From nature’s side women need more insulation than men to maintain the same temperature. It is also documented that women not just get cold more easily, but also differently. Research show that women generally experience more heat loss than men around the hips and feet. Based on those facts we developed a series of technical sleeping bags made especially for women. The sleeping bags are stitched so that they are narrower around the shoulders and wider around the hips to increase comfort and prevent heat loss. To further prevent heat loss, it also has a extra layer of insulation in the foot end and a warm collar around the neck

Baffin Babes 2009 Baffin Island The Baffin Babes completed their unforgettable ski expedition on Baffin Island in 80 days. The girls walked 1,200 kilometers on skis - over large glaciers, white plains and frozen fjords. On their way they experienced amazing encounters with Inuit, polar bears and whales. The Baffin Babes danced aerobics in the snow, bathed in ice hole made of seals, creating an everyday life in the tent in 40 degrees below zero.

2012 Sør Georgia The Baffin Babes switched north to south and went on a month-long trip to the spectacular island of South Georgia. With skis on, the girls took progress in challenging terrain and high winds. The Babes got a visit from a baby seal in the tent, and they got their dream fulfilled; to dance with the penguins! Both trips have become TV-documentaries. Baffin Babes consists of Emma Simonsson, Vera Simonsson and Kristin Folsland Olsen. www.baffinbabes.com

South Georgia ”Thousands of penguins welcome us on the beach, behind us the mountains rises dramatically from the ocean. We´re on South Georgia, in the middle of the South Atlantic, one of the worlds most spectacular places. - We are the Baffin Babes, and we are looking for incredible experiences!”

Technical winter sleeping bag in fiber/dun with waterproof foot end.

Storfjorden XT is a robust and solid winter sleeping bag that is equally suited to sleep under the open sky, as well as in tents because of its fiber/down construction. Helsport Fiber/Down concept combines the features from both down and fiber. The sidewall and the upper side of the inner layer is filled with down, for greater heat and increased feeling of comfort. The outer layer is made of fiber that protects against outside moisture. This gives lower weight than a 100% fiber bag. In the foot end of the sleeping bag it is waterproof fabric to protect it from moisture and condensation. Around the hood opening the bags feature our compression darts, arrows with less insulation material, which make it easier to tighten the opening even on the winter sleeping bags. Storfjorden XT has a high and down filled heat collar too keep the heat in the sleeping bag. The zipper is braced to prevent it from jamming. The bag has a robust outer fabric who can stand rough use and a comfortable micro polyester inner fabric with a napped surface. -------------

Sleeping bags | how to choose the right temperature

Temperature ratings European Standard EN 13537 From 2012 Helsport started rating sleeping bags only according to the European standard EN 13537. This is a standard for how to test and rate sleeping bags, in order to be able to compare sleeping bags from different producers. The standard gives three temperature values TCOMF, TLIM and TEXT. The temperature ranges between the values are zones for the recommended usage temperatures. Green zone above TCOMF: Green zone is called the comfort zone and in this temperature range most people will be able to sleep comfortably. Yellow zone between TCOMF and TLIM: Yellow zone is called a transition zone between comfort and risk. In this range many people can sleep comfortably, but some may also start to freeze (see more info below). Red zone between TLIM and TEXT: The red zone is the risk zone and in this range a strong sensation of cold has to be expected. There is risk of hypothermia. An average woman can only tolerate this for six hours.

*In the risk zone a strong sensation of cold has to be expected. There is a risk of health damage by hypothermia

When to use the sleeping bag in real life? It is important to know that the temperature rating is valid for an average person, in an average situation. When you are out hiking, no single trip is the same. People react differently to cold, our daily shape varies and the surroundings will change every time. A fit, experienced hiker on an easy trip will not need as warm a sleeping bag as the inexperienced, first-time user on a strenuous adventure. Helsport therefore advises to choose sleepig bag after first considering two main aspects:

1.Your own physique:

2. Usage scenario

• How easily do I normally get cold? • How experienced am I at sleeping outdoors? • How good is my current shape?

• What kind of trip am I going on? • How hungry and tired will I be when I’m going to sleep? • How well protected will I be? (in a cabin, under the open sky, what kind of sleeping mattress, extra clothing etc.)

• How much weight can I accept to bring?

After considering own needs, each user can choose when to use the sleeping bag: Use sleeping bag in green zone if:

Using the sleeping bag in yellow zone requires:

• You are a cold sleeper • You are unfamiliar with sleeping outdoors • You are female • You haven’t slept or eaten properly • You are sleeping exposed (for

• Use of good insulation mat • That you cover up for wind and humidity • That you every day dry the sleeping bag after use. • That you use dry wool underwear (or similar) and a warm hat if necessary. • You use the heat trap collar and close the sleeping bag properly

example under open sky)

• You wish to have a bigger safety margin

Use sleeping bag at your own risk in red zone only if: • You very seldom freeze • You are experienced at sleeping outdoors • You are willing to prioritize low gear weight instead of comfortable sleep

The three temperature values are determined as follows: TCOMF - Comfort temperature for standard woman in relaxed position TLIM - Limit temperature for standard man in rolled-up position trying to stay warm TEXT - Risk temperature for standard woman with cold stress in rolled-up position, can only be maintained for six hours. Limitations in the standard: For longer trips and expeditions an extra safety margin should always be applied. The user is responsible for testing the gear’s temperature limits prior to such trips. The temperature standard EN 13537 does not apply to children’s sleeping bags. Children have different physiological regulation than adults. The temperature stated is only a reference to the corresponding adult size bag. Children should add an extra safety margin, and adults are responsible for keeping children in their group warm.

Technical info | sleeping bags

Helsport has manufactured quality sleeping bags since 1954 and we continuously strive to develop more comfortable, high performance sleeping bags. By carefully selecting high-quality materials and improving designs we build the Helsport Total Quality philosophy into all of our products regardless of temperature rating.

CONSTRUCTION:

Based on years of research and development we have developed an insulation system based on different methods. One layer insulation: A single layer of lightweight, highperformance Thermoguard®6000 insulation for comfort in higher temperature zones.

Two layer insulation: A double layer of Thermoguard®6000 insulation. Only the first layer is stitched while the second is free floating to dramatically increase its insulation characteristics. Box construction: Selected Helsport sleeping bags have specially designed square sidewalls which lift the bag around the body providing increased comfort and warmth. In addition, our form-fitting mummy shape offer a perfect balance between comfort and warmth. Delivered with one or two layers of insulation. Modular system: A double layer of insulation throughout the whole sleeping bag with an additional layer in the areas where the body is most susceptible to heat loss, clinically proven to greatly improve warmth. The shape of the sleeping bag is also optimized for comfort in low temperatures. Fiber/Down: Insulation system developed for use in low temperatures. By combining our high performance Thermoguard®6000 insulating fiber where its waterproof and decompression characteristics are most needed with a layer of natural down over the body we have harnessed the best of the two materials. Fiber/Down sleeping bags are not only warmer, but also 10% lighter. Down construction: Our down bags are constructed with horizontal chambers with baffles. This ensures even insulation and good loft throughout the whole bag, avoiding cold spots. The upper and lower sides have separate chambers to keep the down in place.

Heat trap collar Specially designed internal collars to stop warm air from escaping through the neck area while keeping the cold out.

Compression darts Designed for use in extreme low temperatures, these triangles around the hood are filled with slightly less insulation to allow for a better, tighter hood closure.

Open

Compression bag Our unique design ensures proper compression of your sleeping bag by allowing even, controlled compression adjustment. The lid protects the sleeping bag during transportation and a handle on the bottom of the bag provides a good grip when pulling out the bag. Insulating fibres may be damaged over long periods of compression, we therefore suggest you store your sleeping bag uncompressed when not in use.

Quick hood closure A reinforcement piece around the cord opening makes tightening the hood faster and easier.

functional details

Pillow pocket A pocket on the outside of the sleeping bag which is perfect for inserting a Helsport Air Pillow, or can be stuffed with clothing. Zippers Helsport uses only zippers from the world’s leading zipper manufacturer YKK. YKK zippers are durable, easy to use and will last the lifetime of your product. Left- and right-hand sleeping bags can be zipped together for increased comfort and warmth. Due to a change in production in 2013, only bags produced in 2014 and later are joinable.

Zipper stopper Zipper stopper at the bottom of the bag prevents the zipper from opening unintentionally. This is important for winter sleeping bags since it can be difficult to reattach the zipper in cold weather due to decreased finger dexterity.

FABRICS

Our experience has shown that improving the quality of fabrics greatly affects the overall performance of your sleeping bag. Helsport has developed a complete range of our own fabrics, specifically adapted for use in sleeping bags. By carefully selecting only the best fabrics suited to the intended use of the product, we are able to ensure the comfort, durability and dependability demanded by the most serious outdoors men.

SHELL FABRICS:

Airtex® 75D 100% Polyester Diamond Ripstop - durable, water resistant and comfortable shell fabric for TREK sleeping bags. Airtex® 40D 100% Polyamide Diamond Ripstop - lightweight, water resistant and durable polyamide used in PRO and X-TREM sleeping bags. Airtex® 40D 100% Polyamide Dobby Ripstop - lightweight, water resistant and durable ripstop for PRO sleeping bags. Airtex® 70D 100% Polyamide Ripstop - robust and water resistant ripstop for X-TREM sleeping bags. Airtex® 40D Polyamide and Airtex® 30D Polyamide Ripstop - down proof and water resistant shell fabrics for down sleeping bags. No-slide - A “no-slide” fabric which we use on the underside of selected models to stop the sleeping bag from sliding on the mattress. The material has a high water resistance and is highly durable.

LINER FABRICS:

Airtex® 50D 100% Micro Polyester - Water resistant and quick drying liner fabric that transports humidity out of the sleeping bag. Used on TREK, PRO and X-TREM segment Airtex® 100% Polyester 20D - extremely lightweight liner fabric which dries more quickly than traditional liner fabrics. Airtex® 50D 100% Polyester - down proof liner fabric with good breathability and comfortable surface for down sleeping bags.

INSULATION:

THERMOGUARD®6000 Helsport Thermoguard®6000 is a specially developed insulating fiber extremely well suited for sleeping bags. As insulation makes up the majority of the sleeping bag’s mass, developing our own high performance fiber has been critical to building lightweight sleeping bags with excellent warmth retention. Thermoguard®6000 is highly insulating yet has good loft and expansion, allowing us to use less material and produce sleeping bags with greatly reduced packed volume. Thermoguard®6000 is a blend of four-hole fibers and melted fibers. Melted fibres have a lower melting point than normal fibres and the insulation undergoes a special heat treatment that binds the fiber together and produces an even, stable insulating layer. This allows us to build Helsport sleeping bags with fewer seams than most others. Seams pinch the insulation fibers together creating a bridge that allows heat to escape while letting cold air in. Thermoguard®6000 is also hypo-allergenic, water resistant and breathable making for a dryer, more comfortable rest. While we recommend washing at temperatures of 40°C, our sleeping bags can be washed up to 60°C if necessary.

Down We use only high quality down ensuring high loft and insulation for our users. We use a blend of goose down 90/10 (90% down, 10% feathers) with fill power rating of 700 cuin/oz ensuring good return to form after compression in our PRO and X-TREM sleeping bags. We work with IDFL, the International Down and Feather Laboratory and Institute, in order to maintain the high quality of our down blends, fabrics and construction of down sleeping bags. Fabrics for down sleeping bags The fabrics that are used in Helsport down sleeping bags are especially developed for this type of use. The fabrics are down proof but still have a high breathability, which is important in order to get a good loft on the sleeping bag and transport moisture from the body out of the bag. Some down leakage may occur with first time use, but will soon subside to insignificant amounts. DOWN OR FIBER SLEEPING BAG? Down is a natural material and no synthetic fiber can match the insulating levels of down. Down offers premium insulation with light weights and small volumes, which is the ideal for any sleeping bag. The major disadvantage with down is that the insulation properties of down can be greatly reduced if it becomes wet. A sleeping bag with fiber insulation however will retain more of its insulation value even if it becomes wet and is more safe in the case of tearing of the shell fabric.

Test partners: IDFL

”IDFL is the global leader in quality assurance programs for filled textile products. We test, certify, inspect and manage quality assurance programs for companies around the globe. IDFL has tested thousands of filled textile products since its start in 1978 and is now the global authority on down and feather testing. We are proud to say that we serve over 4,000 clients in over seventy countries from our offices in Europe, China and the USA. Down and feather testing is a unique and difficult challenge, because down is a natural non-homogeneous product. Each test sample is handled individually so testing is very labor intensive. We test Helsport sleeping bags and garment fabrics for down-proofness during both their development process and production. We also test Helsport down blends for fill power, down percentages and general quality levels – all critical parameters to provide the very best down products to Helsport customers.” Matt Lieber, Managing Director IDFL Europe

Thelma-Test

”Objective testing of sleeping bags by Thelma AS – now Thelma-Test – was started as a Sintef development project in the 1990’s with Helsport as one of our early industry partners. By means of a thermal manikin that simulated the heat production of a human being and a test laboratory where the thermal conditions could be controlled in an accurate way, the thermal insulation of sleeping bags was measured. Based on insulation values for men and women a model was developed to predict expected comfort levels for sleeping bags. In 2002 a new European standard (EN 13537) for sleeping bag testing was issued and Thelma calibrated their thermal manikin for testing according to this new standard. During the actual test, the manikin is placed inside a sleeping bag on top of an elevated wooden plate on an insulating mattress. The test is performed in a stable temperature atmosphere where also humidity and wind conditions are maintained stable, until the manikin’s “skin temperature” has stabilized at 34°C (+/- 0.1). Heat supplied to the manikin will then be similar to the heat loss from the manikin to the surrounding atmosphere. The final result is the average of three measurements and the recommended temperature limits are determined from this. Since 2002 Thelma-Test have tested more than two thousand sleeping bags from more than forty different manufacturers all over the world. In Europe today, similar testing according to EN 13537, are only performed at three other laboratories.” Bård Holand, MSc at Thelma-Test

”I am currently 29 years old / young. In previous years I have used my time to be a travelling ”snowboard bum”. Together good friends I have travelled extensively around the world looking for the best snow and great experiences. The board is still with me, but in recent years it is the outdoors and the good life in the wild that has captured almost all focus”.

”For the first time in a long time I was going back to the wet asphalt jungle of Bergen. From Svalbard to Bergen, the contrast was greater than expected. Like a fish out of water I jumped around between buses, cars and busy people with empty eyes. Christmas madness hung in the air. It was too much. Too much. I ended up escaping into the library to read about Svalbard. In silence. -Silence is nature’s way of talking to us. ” http://www.stianmedsekken.net/

Lifjell 35L

Honorary mention Spring/summer 2015 Functional thinking

45L

Light and very flexible, with unique detachable back solution Lifjell is perfect for the summer trips as well as the winter trips because of its unique and flexible back solution. Lifjell has a detachable mesh back that will provide air circulation when attached. When removed, the pack will sit close to your back for optimal stability. In the summer season, carrying a backpack makes your back warm, so you need air to be able to circulate between your back and the backpack. The mesh back makes this happen. For the winter season you want the opposite. When skiing you need the pack to be as close to your body as possible for better stability. You also do not want snow to be caught in the gap between your back and the backpack, and you want to minimize heat loss. Detaching the mesh back solves this. Another useful feature is the possibility to detach the lid. The main compartment roll-top closure makes the pack fully functional even if you leave the lid at home for a cleaner and lighter pack. Another option is to attach the lid to the shoulder straps so that you get a large front-pack with easy access to your map, camera or other gear. Moving some of the load to your chest also creates a better ergonomic carrying situation, with the center of gravity closer to your core. The removable lid can also be used as a hip pack or shoulder bag for short excursions from camp, or to keep and bring your valuables at any time.

TONJE BLOMSETH

On Dec.12th 2011 only 17 years old she became the youngest at the time to ever walk the entire length of Norway. Reaching the very North of Norway she had walked 3000 km through Norwegian mountains and woods, only accompanied by polar dog Maddox. Last winder she took upon her biggest challenge so far: a 4-month long solo winter expedition. www.tonjeblomseth.com | Instagram: @tonjeblom

”I’m really just a normal 21 year old girl who happen to have outdoor-life as my passion. Since I was little, nature has been a place where I can escape from everyone and everything. I love long, demanding days in the wilderness, usually with my dog as the only companion That allows me to just be myself, surrounded by all the peace and quite one can ask for, and when those same surroundings get extreme I always find the will to carry on and a thrill when mastering challenges. I like to challenge myself with increasingly demanding trips and expeditions, because it is great to always expand your limits and step outside your comfort zone. I always sleep well at night when i do. However I also appreciate the simple hikes and just sitting around a campfire on Sundays. Finding that inner peace is the most important.”

Suspension system

Helsport

link -helps you to carry correctly tm

When carrying a heavy bag over several days in tough, Norwegian mountain terrain, the body will have to endure strains beyond what is normal. You will need a suspension system that can enable you to do the job, even after several days. The most important task for a good suspension system, is to provide the body with good working conditions.

These are some of the most important issues when carrying heavy bags: - most often one ends up walking with a forward lean, and a curved spine. - you use a lot of energy to stabilize the backpack because it moves in relation to your body - reduced freedom of movement and blood circulation to the buttocks and leg muscles, due to pressure from the hip belt.

After a long period of development, based on research, testing and feedback from users, we launched in 2011 Helsport LINKâ&#x201E;˘ carrying system.

We have achieved this by constructing precise links between the bag and the suspension system. The shoulder straps are attached to the back supporting structure with a specially designed component that also allows for height adjustment of the back length.

When walking, the natural S-shape of the spine helps to absorb shock. This function should be maintained even when you’re carrying a heavy backpack, to prevent stress and injuries. International research also shows that if you walk with a natural posture, you spend less energy than walking with a forward lean. The design of the Helsport LINK™ helps you maintain your correct posture. In particular, the design of the lumbar pad and angle of the lower back is important to achieve this. The result is that you use less effort to stabilize your body.

The muscles around the hips are very important when you walk in rugged terrain, and the hip belt must not cause unnecessary pressure to these muscle groups. The Helsport LINK™ belt solution is designed to achieve this. The legs will get the best possible supply of oxygen when they work hard in rough terrain, whilst movement is optimal.

Robin Dale Oen Naval instructor and CEO of The Dale Oen Experience

Our biggest and most robust backpack for hikes with heavy loads. Svalbard is a pack for those really long adventures, suitable for loads up to 35 kg. Ideal for both summer and winter trips, walking or skiing. The Helsport LINK™ carrying system helps your body to maintain a natural and correct back posture when carrying heavy loads. The hip belt is designed to secure good blood circulation for the legs and unique freedom of movement when walking in rugged terrain. The precise construction results in a stable pack, ensuring that you will have full control, and use less power to stabilize your load. On long trips there is a lot of gear to organize and keep track of. For that reason we have placed great emphasis on creating a clean pack that still features all the functions that you will need. The Svalbard models have two vertical zippers running down the front of the pack, and a bottom opening. This way you have easy access to the entire pack volume directly. Using the main compartment divider you can make the bottom part into sleeping bag storage, using the bottom opening for access. Gear or food you might need to access on the trail can be stored in the top lid compartment, the front pocket or the expanding side pockets. The lid can easily be detached and used as a hip pack for short trips from camp. -------------

Tips and tricks

fabric maintenance

The fabrics in your Helsport pack will be water repellant when you buy it, but these properties diminish with time and use. Please note that the seams are not taped and water can escape through. Use spray impregnation in order to retain the water repellent properties. The impregnation should always be done on a clean and dry bag. Remember to use rain cover in heavy rain.

Technical info | backpacks

The backpack is in direct contact with the body for extended periods of time, this makes it important to choose the right bag before you set out on your trip. The backpack should contain everything you need to have with you, and wear comfort is increased considerably by good design and proper functionality.

MATERIALS:

As a leading outdoor equipment manufacturer, Helsport selects the best materials from manufacturers around the world. We are able to develop lightweight and durable fabrics best suited to their intended use. Our fabrics are developed for specific use in backpacks. Wear resistance, tear resistance and water repellency are important features. All the fabrics are coated to make them water-repellent, but the seams are not water tight. It is therefore important to use a rain cover when it is raining heavily. Many of our packs come with a rain cover included. If not, you can also buy them separately. Polyester 75D ripstop Light fabric often used for lining and pockets.

Polyester 75D ripstop 3000 MM Light fabric with extra high water column used for raincovers.

Polyamide 210D double ripstop 1500 mm A light and strong fabric thanks to the high density weave and ripstop construction. Ripstop construction consists of a grid of stronger threads in the weave.

Polyamide 420D double ripstop 1500 mm This nylon fabric has got slightly thicker threads than Polyamide 210D. This makes it a little stronger and slightly heavier.

Polyester 600D 1500 MM Strong and durable fabric used on exposed areas and on models that are designed to withstand particularly heavy use.

Twill Spun Polyester 800 mm This fabric has a brushed surface to prevent noise. Used for our hunting models.

AIRMESH Three-dimensional structure that allows ventilation and cushioning. I also absorbes very little moisture. This is the optimal properties of surfaces to be in contact with the body.

zippers The zipper is an important component in the backpack. Helsport therefore use zippers with high quality from the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading manufacturer, YKK, on all of our models. In addition we place great importance in constructing the packs so that the zippers are loaded correctly and the least possible.

components The buckles on your pack must withstand abuse under all conditions, and work regardless of weather or temperature. Helsport uses the highest quality components from well known suppliers.

Tips and tricks

fitting your pack First, loosen all of the pack’s straps and hipbelt. Start by putting some weight into the pack to simulate a loaded pack. When carrying big packs one should carry the most of the weight on the hip belt (70-80%). The shoulder straps should mainly stabilize the pack and keep it close to your body. For smaller bags you carry larger portion of the load on the shoulder straps.

--Put the pack on your back. --Fasten the hip belt around your hips and tighten the belt firmly.

The upper edge of the belt should be slightly above the hip bone (1-2 cm). The backpack should rest against the lower part of the lumbar. Tighten the shoulder straps so they fit snugly on. The shoulder straps should follow the curvature of the shoulders all the way and the end should be at least one hand below the armpit. Gently snug the neck stabilizer straps. Place the chest strap at the level of the armpit. Tighten gently to prevent the shoulder straps from obstruct free movement of the arms. Pull the stabilizer straps located on either side of the hipbelt to snug the pack body toward the hipbelt and stabilize the load.

-----

Shaping the frame stays If the shape of your back on your pack does not fit you back, there is for several of our models a possibility to customize the shape. This is done by bending the aluminum rails. Carefully bend a small amount at a time to fit the arch of your back. It is primarily the lower back that would be interesting to modify. ADJUSTMENTS ON THE GO Carrying comfort can be greatly increased by actively adjusting your pack to various terrain. It is most important to evenly spread weight between your shoulders and hips. Here are a few helpful hints: When walking in flat terrain, it is preferable to tighten the belt and loosen the neck adjustment, so that most of the load is carried on the hips, and you can move in a natural, upright manner. Make sure the neck adjustments always have at least a slight tension. In rough terrain tighten the neck adjustment further for better control of the bag. When you walk uphill you might want to loosen a bit on the hip belt, to maximize blood circulation to the legs when they work hard. In downhill neck adjustment should be loosened, so you are able to “lean back”. Make sure the bag is stable, so you have control on the downhill. HOW TO LOAD YOUR PACK Properly packing your backpack will greatly improve comfort while carrying heavy loads. Another factor to consider is convenient access to the items you will possibly need along the way, eliminating the need to unpack trailside. By determining which items you might need you can pack unnecessary items such as extra clothing, cooking utensils and dry food stores in the bottom of your pack. The heaviest items should be placed mid ways up, as close to your back as possible. This will help bring the center of gravity closer to your back, between your shoulder blades where it is most stable. Try to pack everything except your mattress inside your pack. Items attached to the outside will create an unstable load, and are prone to snagging on tree branches and rocks.

Packing quick-guide: To keep handy, like headlamp, ski wax, snacks, GPS, maps, etc.

Larger light items you might need during the day, or first at camp – extra layers, food, wind shelter for example.

Heavy items, packed closest to back for optimal stability; cooking gear, fuel, tent, etc.

Other items not needed during the day – sleeping bag and extra clothing for example. Center of gravity when hiking. Center of gravity when skiing

WEIGHT RECOMMENDATIONS Touring with a heavy pack increases the strain on your knees and hips. Weight is always an issue to be considered when trekking, and all additional weight will lead to fatigue and discomfort regardless of how well packed and adjusted your backpack is. A general rule of thumb is to not pack more than ¼ of your body weight. If you are inexperienced with trekking and carrying heavy loads in a pack, the maximum ratio will be closer to 1/5 . Walking with poles will help distribute the stress over the rest of your body and reduce fatigue, as well as aid in balance. Stability Whatever you do with a pack on you want the pack to be as stable as possible. If you walk for a whole day with a heavy unstable load moving on your back you will use a lot of energy to stabilize this. If you are skiing down a mountain slope, a pack moving around on yor back will obstruct your balance. Be sure to use the compression straps to stbilize the load Attach as little as possible outside of the pack. If you do, make sure to attach it so that it does not move around Use the stabilizing straps on the shoulder straps and belt actively Follow the advice for loading your pack correctly If you are ski touring with a heavy pack, stability will be the main concern. In addition, you will be using your upper body more, thus requiring more freedom of movement. We suggest lowering the center of gravity in the pack, closer to your lumbar.

------

WET CONDITIONS Even though we use only the best materials when constructing our packs, no backpack is completely waterproof. We provide rain covers for all of our larger trekking and expedition packs and they will help keep your gear dry in rainy or wet conditions. Any equipment that absolutely must be kept dry should be packed in either waterproof bags or plastic. The fabric on your pack will become less water-resistant with time and use. Therefore it is recommended to treat your pack with a waterproofer from time to time. You can purchase a waterproofer at your local sports dealer.

TORSO LENGTH:

As we all come in different shapes and sizes, it is important to consider your torso length when choosing the right pack. Our Helsport LINKTM allows you to fine tune the torso length of your pack, making these packs highly compatible for most people. Everyone has different back, and this is not necessarily linked to body length. Depending on the type of pack and use, we offer bags with different back lengths, for everyone to be able to find a model that fits.

You can find your torso length by measuring the distance from your C7 vertebra (the one that sticks out of the back of your neck) to the top of your hips.

SMALL/MEDIUM (S/M) -bags will fit for torso lengths from 39 to 45 cm *. Body length about 160-175cm MEDIUM/LARGE (M/L) -bags are suitable for 45 to 51 cm torso lengths. Body length about 175-195cm *S/M bags are also in general designed for smaller people. This is achieved by a shorter waist belt, smaller distance between the shoulder straps and narrower shoulder straps.

ABOUT VOLUME

In our specifications we describe the volume for each bag measured in liters. This represents the maximum amount you can get inside the bag if you use all the compartments. For most models you can also attach some gear on the outside of the pack, using the gear attachment points. We measure all the bags physically.
