#nowifigreatconnection WHY CHOOSE HELSPORT? We are Scandinavia's leading tent and sleeping bag manufacturer

Helsport was established in 1951. Ever since we launched our first sleeping bags in 1954 and tents in 1957, we have passionately developed and produced some of the best hiking equipment in the world. We launched the world's first tunnel tent in 1970, and more about our history can be found on the next two pages.

You are always our priority

We know that what you care about is enjoying the outdoors, and we want that experience to be as good and problem-free as possible. Our products are created based on real needs and made as user-friendly as possible. We are there quickly if you need help or have a question. We are committed to informing, sharing experiences, inspiration, tips and tricks because we know you appreciate it. We can do all these things because we are constantly in close dialogue with as many users of our products as possible.

We provide lifetime service

Relying on equipment from us will be worry-free. We create products to last a long time, so if something gets broken we fix it, no matter how old your Helsport gear may be. Read more about our service on p. 151 H EL S P O RT 2018

HISTORY

SOME OF OUR MOST IMPORTANT EVENTS THROUGH THE PAST 60 YEARS 1970

1951 1957 Arild Helliksen establishes Helliksen Sport. This was our name until 1974, when it was changed into a corporation and named Helsport AS.

The prototype of the world’s first tunnel tent is tested on an expedition in the Andes led by Norwegian climber Trond Aas!

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

1954

1968

1971

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

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”.

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.

1999

2010/2011

HEL S P ORT

2011

2010

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

2018

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.

IDA S. RØSTAD

2005

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.

TORJE STENKJÆR

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 its launch Svalbard has been developed into a series of tents for tough winter use and expeditions.

BØRGE OUSLAND

CASPER RAVNSBÆK

2006

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

Weighing only 0.85 kg, Ringstind SuperLight sets a new standard for lightweight tents and becomes an immediate test winner. With the same materials and solutions the Fjellheimen Superlight 3 Camp, a 3-person tent under 2 kilos, creates attention the following year.

HISTORY

BØRGE OUSLAND

1986

BØRGE OUSLAND

1994

Børge Ousland, Agnar Berg and Jan Ertsås decided to not only follow in Nansen's 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. 2016 marked our 30 year partnership!

On April 22nd 1994 Børge Ousland reached his goal on becoming the first ever to reach the North Pole alone without assistance.

1986

1997 ERLING KAGGE

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.

At 06.00 on the morning of January 7th 1993 Erling Kagge reached 90 ° South and was invited into the American South Pole Base after skiing 1319 km alone for 50 days.

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

2012 2017 LINE HÅRKLAU

BØRGE OUSLAND

2017

After years of development and cooperation with Børge Ousland we launch the expedition tent Patagonia. The first in a series of Ousland products, with new and unique features.

Since its launch, the Reinsfjell Superlight has been well adopted. With a self-standing dome construction, and superlight material, components and details, this tent has repeatedly been crowned as a test winner.

2018

2015

We identified the differing needs among women in the outdoors and launched a sleeping bag collection for women.

KYLE MEYR

NIKLAS VILLABØ

2016 NIKLAS VILLABØ

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

Bitihorn: A totally new tarp collection, with everything from superlight to more robust shelter from the weather.

Rago – a new range of down sleeping bags. We had the Scandinavian market in mind when developing the fit and the precise distribution of high quality down to achieve the optimum weight-to-warmth ratio. The range includes bags ranging in temperature from T-Lim 0 to -25, as well as models for women and kids

H EL S P O RT 2018

WHY CHOOSE A HELSPORT TENT? You want the original

We launched the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first tunnel tent in 1970, and have set the standard for tent development for decades. No one has more experience than us in developing these tents, and for almost 50 years we have been considered to be a world leader in the development of quality tents.

Customized poles

A lot of tentmakers take the easy way out when making poles for their tents: they have few categories and one pole-dimension per category. What we do differently than most is that we consider each model and pole, in collaboration with two of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best producers of quality poles. Read how on p. 73.

Superior selection of superlight tents

When we launched Ringstind Superlight in 2011 we set a new standard for lightweight tents. Since then we have expanded our range of Superlight tents considerably, and won numerous consumer tests worldwide.

TIPS AND TRICKS

MORE COMFORT IN YOUR LAVVU/VARANGER DOME Accessories play an important role in increased comfort and enjoyment inside a lavvu. An inner tent and floor will increase your standard of living considerably, and should be a natural part of your lavvu if you plan to use it frequently. A stove and burner are both great alternatives to an open flame; they are more energy efficient, create less smoke and are safer in terms of sparks. In the Varanger Dome, burner use is not possible; additionally, a stove should only be used when you're not using the optional inner tent. A drying rack and kettle holder also make life inside the lavvu more enjoyable.

"My home is where my tent is. The freedom I get by owning an apartment that only weighs 2.2 kg is infinite. I probably spend more time than most finding the perfect campsite but, when I find it, I feel like a millionaire."

â&#x20AC;?I've been thinking about it lately, thinking that I really have reached one of my big goals. Without being fully aware of it I walk around in my own dream. The dream that spending time outdoors should be greater than the ordinary life, or to put it another way: that spending time outdoors should be regular life. I am out and exploring more often than I'm not. That was the goal, it was the dream, and the dream lives onâ&#x20AC;? Stian Aadland | @stianmedsekken1 / www.stianmedsekken.net

A SPACIOUS WINTER TENT FOR WEIGHT-CONSCIOUS ADVENTURERS

Our Fjellheimen-series is known for offering generous volume at a low weight. The X-Trem version is no exception, and it's our lightest X-Trem tent relative to size. The entire Fjellheimen range has been redesigned for 2018 to maximize internal space. The pole geometry has been adjusted for optimal headroom and the floor specifically sized to fit standard rectangular sleeping mats. The floor shape is identical for all Fjellheimen tents, which simplifies the footprints. 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

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 Fjellheimen X-Trem 3 Camp and Polheim sleeping bag. ”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

SPITSBERGEN X-TREM CAMP

3 CAMP 4 CAMP

EXTRA SPACIOUS TUNNEL TENT WITH DUAL ENTRANCES, FOR THOSE REALLY LONG TRIPS. Spitsbergen X-Trem Camp is the sequel to the classic Svea Camp, the largest tunnel tent in the X-TREM category, and is the perfect companion for long sled trips. With four equal poles it's quick and easy to set up, and has ample headroom and sleeping space throughout - something you appreciate when the weather keeps you inside the tent. The Spitsbergen X-Trem Camp's aerodynamic design is particularly intended to resist severe wind. Combined with solid storm flaps around the tent, strong guy lines and extra guy lines, this tent is a safe shelter in any weather. Like all of our Xtrem series tents, the Spitsbergen X-Trem Camp is designed to allow double pole sets, for additional security in extreme wind. With two entrances and two areas for gear storage you'll always have a sheltered entranceway. This also provides the flexibility to store gear in one place and cook another. On longer trips with 2 or more people, you can also divide the tent space for a little more privacy.

-- 2 entrances with large vestibules -- 360° inner tent opening design, zipper and full width mesh vents

-- Mesh gear loft and internal storage pockets for easy organization

-- The Helsport AirFlow II® ventilation system ensures more fresh air, better quality sleep and increased air circulation which reduces condensation

-- Patented pole cup and color-coded poles/ channels make the tent fast and easy to pitch

-- Unique internal pole channel system that provides better wind stability and less vibration/noise in windy conditions

-- Guy line points with integrated elastic webbing to collect and prevent the guy lines from getting entangled

-- Large opening allows for a customisable entrance, and great views.

-- Extra strong guy lines, reinforced guy points and storm flaps.

-- Double pole cups for two pole sets.

TIPS AND TRICKS

SECURING GUY LINES IN DIFFICULT GROUND In loose snow or on hard ground it can be difficult to secure guy lines - but there are alternative ways of anchoring your tent. In winter, use special snow pegs, or your skis or ski poles. If it's difficult to get these vertically into the ground, lay them horizontally and bury them. Make sure your ski edges don't chew through the guy lines. Also watch that you don't trip over your poles in the dark - this is especially important around doorways and entrances. If you're on hard ground, tents with storms flaps are perfect. Just place large stones on the flaps, with some moss underneath them to protect the tent fabric. You can also use stones or trees as alternatives to pegs.

Use winter pegs

Bury the anchor points horizontally

Ensure metal edges can't cut guy lines

Use stones on storm flaps, avoiding sharp edges

Use items around you as pegs

PATAGONIA

THE ULTIMATE EXPEDITION TENT, DEVELOPED WITH BØRGE OUSLAND The Patagonia has been developed in close cooperation between Helsport and Børge Ousland, and is based on Børge's experiences from 30 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 easy handling during the worst conditions. The aerodynamic construction is especially important in the wind. The tent is not pushed down in strong winds, but instead the wind flows over the tent roof. In addition to increased stability, this 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 in extreme winds. Good height ensures comfort when you get weather-bound. Patagonia withstands extreme conditions, particularly the wind, and the strength of the tent is increased further 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 work as easily and functionally as possible, and is manageable with mittens. The storm flaps with integrated peg loops are 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. The 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.

" I have personally experienced being beaten to the ground by strong winds and seen sleds blown over my tent on the icecap in Patagonia. This tent meets my extreme requirements, both when it comes to strength and easy handling."

STORM FLAPS: The storm flaps with integrated peg loops are 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.

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

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 provides extra safety and stability. The pole cup and glove-friendly solutions makes pitching and packing easier in extreme weather. The channels amd poles are color-coded, for easy and fast pitching.

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

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.

SLED BAG: To protect the tent, and make it as easy as possible to pack the sled, 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.

PEGS: Helsport 20 cm XT-pegs are included.

ICELEGACY

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 to 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 never accessed before. In addition, they will work on spreading knowledge about glacial recession and its consequences with as many as possible. 2: Transferring Børge's 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!

THE LEGEND AND THE YOUNGSTER BØRGE OUSLAND

”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 re-supplying. 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.

VINCENT COLLIARD

“Vincent Colliard is an energetic, young and strong person with the ability to forge ahead even if 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 have also have been partners on other expeditions, such as the first ski crossing of the isolated Nordauslandet in Spitsbergen, and in Patagonia on the southern ice cap.

HIMALAYA

LIGHT AND FLEXIBLE EXPEDITION TENT WITH THREE ALTERNATIVE ENTRANCES Himalaya has been developed in close co-operation between Helsport and Børge Ousland, based on Børge's experience from 30 years of expeditions in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Safety is always critical on such trips, and this tent has all the necessary details you need for safe and easy handling during the world's worst conditions. This is a relatively small expedition tent, perfect for one person, but also enough space for two on trips where weight is important. The tent has three alternative entrances, ensuring that one always is sheltered from wind. The front can be opened fully, like an open shelter. Himalaya is optimal for winter-use; every single detail is developed to ensure they work as easily and functionally as possible. It has durable, reinforced details that manage the most extreme conditions. The storm flaps with integrated peg loops are 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 element on all tents. Himalaya has one angled vent on both sides that are slanted, and 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.

TIPS AND TRICKS

INCREASE YOUR TENT COMFORT ON WINTER TRIPS! A good 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 vestibule, it will give you plenty of room to change, store, dangle your legs, cook and have visitors. Andreas KjĂ¸ndal Teacher KVS Lyngdal

PROBABLY ONE THE WORLD’S MOST EXPERIENCED EXPEDITION TENTS Proving 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. All 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 stable in strong winds, but also provides more space and height inside, which increases the comfort level if you are 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 remains our flagship in the X-Trem category, and through the years has won consumer tests as both a 4-season and 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.

Varanger camp was the world’s first lavvu with a camp entrance solution! With the same durable, solid details as its award-winning namesake Varanger, it is equipped for four-season adventures; named the best lavvu for winter use by Norway’s largest outdoor magazine.

-- Two windows -- Flame retardant fabric -- Patented adjustable top hat with inside

The entrance has been expanded to make entry and exit more comfortable, as well as to prevent the rain coming directly into the tent when one opens the entrance. In addition, it gives you the feeling of better space in the tent. The extension is equipped with two windows which ensure good light into the tent. The lavvu has a mosquito net in the entrance and several adjustable vents to ensure a good indoor climate.

TECHNICAL INFO | TENT AND LAVVU

Since introducing the world’s first tunnel tent in 1970, we have been considered leaders 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 tents, 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 make Helsport tents world class.

CONSTRUCTION Our many years of experience, combined with contributions from active users and testing, have resulted in tents with a correct, aerodynamic construction that optimize 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 important to choose the construction that fits your needs.

ESKILD OLSEN

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 benefits of 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.

HEL S P ORT

2018

DOME TENTS The dome tents are constructed with crossing poles. This slightly increases the weight and the time 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 nonfreestanding tents. Freestanding tents can be used without pegs and guy lines. They are perfect for rocky camps and hard ground surfaces, but we recommend use of guy lines and pegs whenever possible.

LAVVU The great benefit of the lavvu design is its interior height and comfort. The tall single centre pole design makes for steep walls that easily shed 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.

TECHNICAL INFO | TENT AND LAVVU

POLES 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 tent's 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 elaborate process gives maximal strength and flexibility in each pole for every tent model. The process is done following recommendations and in close cooperation with two of our main suppliers, two of the best producers of quality poles in the world: Yunan and DAC.

OUR POLE TYPES: TREK-poles:

PRO and X-TREM poles:

LAVVU-poles:

GAPAHUK/TARP-poles:

All tents in this category have Yunan Pressfit-poles, made with aluminium alloy 7001-T6.

All tents in these two categories have DAC Featherlite NSL-poles.

We utilize collapsible, light weight and strong aluminium poles for all our lavvus.

Yunan Pressfit aluminium poles in 130, 132 and176 cm.

130 cm

132 cm

176 cm

UNIQUE INTERNAL 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 fabric more. Stability minimizes movement and decreases noise from the outer fly. External pole channels [pic 2] gives more vibration and can lead to decreased stability. Vibration also gives more noise from the outer fly. This will naturally affect your sleep when it's windy.

[pic 1]

[pic 2]

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS: Some people think it's harder inserting the poles when the channels are internal. We have eliminated these problems by inserting the pole from the outside and into a closed channel on the opposite side. The system we have made for inserting and attaching the poles makes 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 reflective materials to simplify pitching the tent when it's dark. The colour coded opening matches the colour on the respective pole. The pole fits into a reinforced pocket, and a sturdy pole cup holds the other end. The outer flysheet is tightened by pulling the adjustment webbing.

COLOUR CODING All tents with different lengths of the poles are colour coded. Red poles belong to the red marked channel, yellow pole in yellow channel etc.

H EL S P O RT 2018

TECHNICAL INFO | TENT AND LAVVU

POLE CUP When the pole is threaded through the pole sleeve, it is held in place by a pole cup. X-TREM tents have pole cups with adjustment bands suitable for both one and two poles. TREK, PRO and SuperLight tents have pole cups suitable for one pole, but the minimal SuperLight version has no adjustment bands.

ZIPPERS The zipper is an important component of a tent, which is why Helsport uses zippers from the world’s leading zipper producer YKK. YKK zippers are solid and easy to use under all conditions. On all 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 keep 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 them 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 adding an extra vent when you want storm flaps mounted. Read more about storm flaps and ventilation on pages 76-77.

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 wind-exposed surfaces on the tent, and give 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. PRO and X-TREM tents have reflective threads woven into the guy lines, which makes them easier to find in the dark.

INNER AND OUTER TENT CONNECTION All Helsport tents can be pitched with the inner and outer tent connected. This setup is faster compared to having to pitch an inner tent first. This also ensures that the inner tent stays dry if it's raining. 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 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 and back.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. TREK/PRO SuperLight: Helsport aluminum pegs; 8.6 grams and 15 cm. PRO: Helsport aluminum pegs; 10.8 grams and 19 cm. X-TREM: Helsport X-Trem aluminum pegs; 24.5 grams, 20 centimeters. LAVVU: The models Varanger, Varanger Camp and Finnmark comes with the Helsport X-trem peg. Pasvik comes with V-pegs and are made of steel weighing 35 grams and 18 cm long.

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! Note: it's very important that the bottle is completely closed. Use a dry bag 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 interior climate and 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. These vary between simple vents with bungee cord closure and zippered closure, skirt ventilation, and ventilation on the roof. The main source of ventilation comes from drawing 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 High levels of CO2 feels like “heavy air”. To prevent overexposure to CO2, every human body needs approximately eight litre/min of fresh air . Clinical studies with NTNU and SINTEF have shown that Helsport's Airflow II® ventilation system is capable of surpassing those required levels of fresh air. Test results without this type of ventilation system show inadequate exchange of fresh air and therefore high levels of CO2-gas.

THERMAL INNER CLIMATE

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

Helsport's Airflow II® ventilation system transports the humidity out of the tent and ensures a good thermal inner climate. This prevents a large degree 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 in 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, 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 are in the tent. If there are two mesh doors in the inner tent, it's important that one of them is kept closed 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.

Ventilation seen from the outside: Open, closed, with mosquito net.

Ventilation seen from the inside: Open, closed, with mosquito net.

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 these 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 adding 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 prevent air entering below the outer tent. For this reason, all of our PRO-tents have 4-season ventilation just like the ventilation our X-TREM tents have 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 due to 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 people 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 moisture is partially collected by clothes and sleeping bags, but some is also caught by the tent. The condensation increases when there is high humidity and/or low temperatures. Condensation collects on cold surfaces, and 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 drip 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 minimizing 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.

OUTER TENT FABRICS

*ISO 811 **ISO 13937-4

Many consumers can be misled and judge a fabric's quality based simply on its reported water resistance. International standard EN 343 defines fabrics to be waterproof if they have water column rating higher than 800mm. Different manufacturers might use different methods to test the water column, and nonstandardized test results may vary as much as several hundred percent. However it is not the water column when new that is important, 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® FR: For our TREK-tents and lavvus we use a specially developed polyester, Helsport Rainguard® FR, 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 is also fire retardant - making it possible to safely use open flames inside.

HELSPORT RAINGUARD® SUPERLIGHT: The Superlight tents use a polyamide micro ripstop fabric. This fabric is woven by a very thin (15D) thread that providess 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 RAINGUARD® PRO: 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 silicone. 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 HELSPORT AIRFLOW FR:

The inner tent fabrics we use in our TREK tents are Polyester with WR/FR coating, which makes the fabric water repellent, fire retardant and highly breathable. Polyester does not absorb moisture and dries quickly. It weighs only 60g/m²

HELSPORT AIRFLOW PRO: : The fabrics used in our PRO and X-TREM tents are light and strong 30D polyester fabrics. The ripstop increases the tear strength and the fabrics are highly water repellent and breathable.

HELSPORT AIRFLOW SUPERLIGHT: 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 condensation that might drop from the outer tent.

GROUND SHEET

HELSPORT RAINGUARD® FLOOR: Ground sheets are a critical component of all tents, because they are exposed to additional wear and tear. Helsport's ground sheets have a great durability and tear strength. The surface facing down to the ground is coated with silicone, which prevents water penetration and reduces drying time.

HELSPORT RAINGUARD® FR FLOOR: Used in Trek tents and lavvu: with polyurethane instead of silicone, to allow flame retardant treatment.

It is not recommended to expose the fabrics to UV-rays over a longer period, as it will degrade the fabric treatment. Read more about fabrics at helsport.no

SEAMS, TEAR STRENGTH AND WATER COLUMN Producing high quality tent fabrics is challenging, because so many different factors 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 so water can't collect at the seam edge, but instead can run off easily.

The type and placement of the seam, relative to the poles, results in a waterproof construction.

In addition to a well-considered seam placement, we use a continuous filament polyester thread with WR coating. This means that we can use a thinner needle, which keeps the holes smaller. Small holes and water repellent thread prevents water from passing through the fabric.

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 sewing techniques, our seams are still waterproof, even without welding. Our lavvus and TREK tents, on the other hand, cannot be treated with silicone, as this reduces the effectiveness of the flame retardant treatment, and hence have taped 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. A 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 13973-4. In our PRO and X-TREM tents we use Helsport Rainguard Pro® , a material which is among the strongest on the market.

WATERPROOFING By international standard EN 343, a water column rating of 800 mm 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.

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. Exposure to UV rays from the sun and wear and tear 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.

WHY CHOOSE A HELSPORT SLEEPING BAG? We know sleeping outdoors

We created our first sleeping bags in 1954 and have, since then, been at the forefront in development of ever better and more user-friendly, high-quality sleeping bags. To create comfortable sleeping bags that stay warm in the most optimal way requires both knowledge and experience, and we have both.

Scandinavian fit

We develop our sleeping bags based on the shape of Scandinavian men and women. This means that they are more spacious and more comfortable than most others. For Scandinavian women, we have also developed the unique, award-winning Huldreheimen-technology - created by and for women. Read more on p. 89

Our special fiber

Helsport ThermoguardÂŽ6000 is a specially developed insulation fiber for use in sleeping bags. With this we need less insulation to achieve equal warmth, it transports moisture very efficiently and is water repellent. In addition, the fiber is produced in a way that allows us to use fewer seams in our bags. Thus we avoid unnecessary seams which squash the fibers and create cold spaces. Read more on p. 112

SLEEPING BAGS | HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE

SLEEPING BAG SELECTION DOWN OR FIBRE: Down is a carefully selected natural material and is great for lightness, compressibility and comfort. It is the best choice if minimum weight is important. However, it needs some extra care and loses most of its insulating properties when wet. Fibre is great if you want a bag that is easier to care for. It is bulkier and heavier than down for the same temperature, but stays warmer if the bag gets wet and is less of a problem if the fabric tears. A fibre bag is a good first choice for kids.

TEMPERATURE RATING We test our sleeping bags to the EN13537 standard. This gives an indication of the warmth of a sleeping bag, but overall comfort is dependent on several factors outside the laboratory, including: • • • • •

How easy you usually find it to keep warm Your own level of outdoors experience and what you are used to Your level of fitness, which affects how warm you will sleep Fatigue, hunger and damp conditions, which all make it more difficult to get warm Whether you are in a cabin, sleeping in a tent or under the stars

SPECIAL NOTE: -the EN13537 standard is not intended for children. It is only a reference to the corresponding adult bag with the same fill. Children can find it harder to keep warm so adults must think responsibly and take this into account when choosing bags for the family.

ZONES To make selection easier, we have put the EN ratings into zones.

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

GREEN ZONE (T-COMFORT) -is the temperature at which an average adult

woman can expect a comfortable night's sleep while laying out flat. Most people will be able to sleep well here, and women should always consider this rating first. Choose the GREEN ZONE if you: • are a woman • feel the cold more than usual • are not familiar sleeping outdoors • expect to be tired and hungry • are sleeping in an exposed area • want to have a good safety margin

YELLOW ZONE (T-LIMIT) -is the temperature at which an average adult man can expect a comfortable sleep while lying curled-up. It is the transition range where some people could begin to feel slightly cold.

RED ZONE (T-EXTREME) -is the temperature where a strong sensation of cold is to be expected. Never consider this rating for normal use, because there is significant risk of hypothermia.

You are in the YELLOW ZONE if you: • don't normally feel the cold • will be sleeping in a sheltered location

Why you should consider the RED ZONE: • An adult woman will experience coldstress at this temperature even lying in a full-fetal position • it is a bare minimum for survival, over short periods of time only

REMEMBER: It might get colder than you expect. It's always better to be a little too warm at night than huddled up somewhere, wishing you had bought the higher-rated bag!

NOTE: 1.

2. 3.

The EN13537 test uses a special mannequin, based on an average person's metabolism. To make the temperature readings more consistent, it is wearing a layer of thermal underwear and lying on a thermal mattress. The sleeping bag hood is in place, the heat collar (if included) is fastened and the draw cords pulled closed. If you sleep in less clothing or with the hood off and collar open, you will not feel as warm. For longer trips and expeditions, you should always add an extra safety margin to the bag you choose. It is an excellent idea to test your bag in similar conditions overnight before having to rely on it for an extended period. A lot of warmth can be lost to the ground, so always use a good quality sleeping mat, especially when sleeping on snow.

DALE OEN EXPERIENCE

THE DALE OEN EXPERIENCE The Dale Oen Experience believes that outdoor activity is 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 can do whatever you want, if you want it enough. The plan was 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 Alexanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory, and Robin runs it with the brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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 norway's long fjords and mountains. We believe that the mix of nature, the outdoors, and basic survival can help make anyone a better person. It is in the outdoors that you get to know who you are and who you want to be, and it is by coping with that you experience that anything is possible. Having Helsport as a partner to The Dale Oen Experience is something we value highly. Helsport has world-class equipment, 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 looks forward to 2018. Follow us on our new adventures on www.daleoen.com. Robin Dale Oen, General Manager The Dale Oen Experience

FOLLOW THE DREAM, NOT THE STREAM! www.tonjeblomseth.com | Instagram: @tonjeblom

"I'm a 23 year-old girl who enjoys living the good life in the mountains in Finnmark. I have found inner peace in icy Karasjok. But my thoughts still often wander to the wilderness, and Alaska has become a kind of ”charter vacation”. The plan is to travel more in the US and Canadian wilderness in the years to come. There’s a lot to be seen and experienced, but Norway remains my favourite place to explore. The dogs are what take up most of my time. Five dogs to be trained, fed and cared for. The family is growing and we’ll soon have the perfect furry team. When I’m not out and about on skis, foot or by dog sled, I'm home with a thousand other projects and am now the proud author of two books and do a lot of traveling and speaking. Life is wonderful."

TROLLHEIMEN

DOUBLE TEST WINNER! A WIDE RANGE OF BAGS WITH A WATERPROOF FOOT END Waking up with a wet sleeping bag can happen if your feet have slid off the mat or been pressed against the damp tent wall. This is no problem with the Trollheimen which has waterproof fabric in the foot end to protect the bag from getting wet. Trollheimen is constructed with two or three (X-trem) layers of water repellent Helsport Thermoguard® fiber. The fiber retains its insulative qualities even if the bag gets wet, making this the bag of choice on trips where you will experience humidity or condensation. Only the inner layer is sewed to the lining and this plus the box-construction reduces heat loss to the surroundings and ensures an optimal fit and insulative ability.

-- Two-way zipper -- Water repellant, down proof outer shell and

The Rago is a new range of down sleeping bags designed for temperatures ranging from T-Lim 0ºC til - 25ºC. To achieve the optimal weight-to-warmth ratio, we have used high quality duck or goose down. The 90/10 mix (90 % down, 10 % small feathers), and the 650 and 750 fill power, makes this a range that will give very good thermal efficiency, good loft and will quickly return to shape after compression.

soft breathable inner fabric

-- Comfortable mummy shape to give an even fit around the body

-- Down filled baffle along zipper to prevent heat loss

-- Quick hood closure -- Glow in the dark puller -- Heat collar

The fit of the Rago bags has been meticulously designed to avoid cold spots. Cold spots occur when the down gets pressed against the fabric walls while you sleep. By extednding the widest points of the bag from the shoulder all the way down to the hip area, you can move around a bit without cold spots occuring, giving you a good nights sleep. In addition we have designed a seperate bag for the kids called the Rago Junior, as well as custom models for ladies, utilizing our Huldreheimen-technology(p. 89). This range has perfected the ratio of warmth to weight and packed volume.

When launched, the Kongsfjorden was recognized beyond the industry, and has received both the Norwegian Design for Excellence award (2010) and the German design award (2012).

-- Compression bands that can be used to reduce the amount of internal volume to be heated

With a T-Lim temperature of -35 degrees and a weight of only 3.4 kg, the Kongsfjorden inner bag and outer bag provide maximum protection with a modest pack volume and weight when used together. However you can also use the two bags separately; the inner bag for more normal winter conditions, and the outer bag as a comfortable summer bag. The inner bag is filled with 1100 grams goose down. Goose down of the highest quality with a 90/10 mix (90% down, 10% feathers) and a fill power of 650 cuin/oz means that this bag has a high warmth to weight ratio, and will quickly regain shape after being compressed. The outer bag is a thin one-layer fiber bag that you pull over the inner bag. Double front zippers make it possible to sit in the bag with your arms out while cooking or reading. The inner bag also has a special hood-collar that protects your head and chest from cold in the night.

-- Continuous, down filled baffles along the opening of the inner- and outer bags

-- Down filled pocket with fleece wall for quick warming of hands

- Glow-in-the-dark puller. - Firm anti-snag prevents the zipper from snagging and enables easier and safer operation. - Attachment loop between the inner and outer bag

Both bags have a durable and water repellant ripstop outer material. The inner bag has a technical, light and breathable 30D down proof inner fabric that dries quickly. The outer bag has a comfortable micro-polyester lining.

MINI A SLEEPING BAG ADJUSTABLE TO FOUR LENGTHS, AS CHILDREN GROW The Mini is designed to fit children as they grow. Adjusting the length of the bag to fit a growing child means the sleeping bag always has the correct length, and the child will not have to heat up unnecessary space. The bag can be adjusted to 60, 70, 85 and 105 cm length, making the Mini suitable for kids aged between 6 months and 5 years (max. 105 cm body height). The Mini has zippers on both sides so it's easy to get the child in and out. The snug hood ensures proper protection for small heads and the mummy-shaped bag provides great insulation. Non-slip fabric on the back of the bag prevents it from slipping, and a seat-strap keeps the bag in place when used in sleds. It is also possible for the child to have their arms out of the bag, a practical solution when camping or to secure a smaller child. The Mini has a comfortable micro polyester inner fabric and water repellent ripstop outer fabric for heavy use and easy cleaning.

EASY-HANDLING FEATURES Developing these sleeping bags in close cooperation with many children, we learned that adjusting and packing bags were the two main things they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t manage on their own. So we made thes details red, so they were easy to understand and adjust.

Two-way zipper and glow in the dark puller

Foot end can easily be zipped inside the bag to adjust the length

Pillow pocket and no-Slide base (Alta and Alta Winter)

INSULATION The hood (only on Alta and Alta Winter) has extra insulation, and the adjustment cord can easily be stowed away in a small pocket, keeping the face area cord-free. An adult can do this particular adjustment in advance.

Extra filling around the opening (Alta and Alta Winter)

LONG-LASTING The Helsport Junior Flex concept consists of adjustable sleeping bags made for children from 130 to 160 cm in height. You can easily adjust the length by pushing the foot end inside the bag and closing the end with a zipper, creating 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 how to use it.

soft breathable inner fabric

-- Comfortable mummy shape to give an even layer of air around the body

In order to achieve the optimal warmth-to-weight-ratio, we’ve found the perfect fitting bag by focusing on the scandianavian market, and combined this with the precise distribution of high quality 650 duck down. The bag compresses to a small size and only weighs 0,88 kg, making it possible for the kids to carry it themselves, even in a smaller backpack.

-- Down filled baffle along zipper to prevent heat loss

-- Quick hood closure -- Glow in the dark puller -- Heat collar

The fit of the Rago bags have been meticulously designed to avoid cold spots. Cold spots occur when the down gets pressed against the fabric walls while you sleep. By extending the widest points of the bag from the shoulder, all the way down to the hip area, your child can move around a bit without cold spots occuring, giving them a good nights sleep. Our ideal three-season sleeping bag for kids, with a good balance between warmth,weight and compressed volume, the Rago Junior will keep the kids warm during those chilly autumn nights.

TECHNICAL INFO | SLEEPING BAGS

Helsport has manufactured quality sleeping bags since 1954 and we continuously strive to develop more comfortable, high performance bags. Regardless of price and temperature rating, all our bags are made of high quality materials and have practical details tested and proven throughout the decades.

FIT: Fit is critical and can make a huge difference to warmth. The goal is to reduce wasted space. If a sleeping bag is too roomy you’ll spend unnecessary energy heating it. A correctly-fitted bag maintains the insulation thickness, while one that is too small is both uncomfortable and not efficient. The head, neck and shoulders are important areas, and it’s crucial to prevent cold spots forming there. Our bags fit naturally and comfortably, maintaining full loft and reducing cold spots, even when the hood is tightened. Having warm feet can really make a difference when you sleep, so it’s important that the foot of the bag is not too tight over the toes. Our bags are sized to have a Scandinavian fit for both men and women, with additional height and more width at the shoulders.

DETAILS

HEAT COLLAR: An internal insulating collar to contain the warmth even more. It fits closely up underneath the chin and adjusts with a drawcord.

PILLOW POCKET: Some of our bags are fitted with a sleeve under the hood, designed to hold a pillow or some folded clothes for added comfort.

DIFFERENTIAL CUT: It is essential that the fill is allowed to expand and reach a maximum potential insulation. We have adjusted the patterns on our down bags so that the shell fabric is larger than the lining. This reduces tension, preventing the down from being crushed. It also allows the down to loft inwards, filling extra spaces within the bag and improving warmth even further, without being restrictive.

CONSTRUCTION

SYNTHETIC CONSTRUCTION: Over years of research and testing, Helsport has developed a system of fibre insulation, adding independently-stitched multiple layers that concentrate the warmth only where it's needed, giving maximum thermal efficiency while keeping the bag comfortable. Selected Helsport bags also have specially-designed box construction sides that lift the bag up around the body to make it warmer.

DOWN CONSTRUCTION: Warmth is directly related to the thickness (loft) of the down. Our bags are carefully designed so that each baffle has just enough down to support the weight of the fabric and give the loft needed. We have calculated exactly how much is required depending on the placement and shape of each baffle. In the Rago series the baffles are curved, which helps prevent the down from moving around and opening cold spots. Women and men lose heat in different ways and from different places, so customization for both user and temperature is important. That’s why we’ve boosted the fill in specific locations on the women’s bags to further optimize insulation.

FIBER/DOWN COMPOSITE: An important factor to consider in extreme cold is freezing condensation. We lose moisture as vapour through our skin, and in polar conditions this can turn into droplets, freezing before it can escape through the outer fabric. For a weekend trip it's no problem, but over the course of a longer journey, this buildup inside the bag can become an issue. We have designed our Templefjorden and Kongsfjorden models with both an inner layer of down for warmth and an outer layer of fibre that is less affected by moisture. In these conditions you can also consider a waterproof breathable cover.

112

HEL S P ORT

2018

ZIPPERS: We use only world-leading YKK brand zippers for durability and ease of use. Our zippers are all open-ended, allowing bags of the same size and model to be zipped together. Choose left and right zip options if available. Having double sliders also allows the bag to be zipped open from the foot if it is warm.

ZIP STOPPER: Our most extreme bags have a tab at the foot end to prevent the bag being unzipped completely, unless you want to. It can be quite difficult to re-attach an open zip if your fingers are cold or if you are wearing gloves.

COMPRESSION BAG: Sleepingbags take up a lot of space in your pack. Our compression bags are designed to evenly reduce the bag to a more efficient packed volume. There is a handle on the base to make it easy to remove. We do not recommend leaving a bag compressed when it is not in use. This can damage the fill and reduce the bag’s warmth. Store it loose if possible, or in a large storage bag. Helsport down bags are supplied with a breathable mesh bag for this purpose.

TECHNICAL INFO | SLEEPING BAGS

FABRICS We choose only the best fabrics for our sleeping bags to get an ideal mix of lightness, comfort, durability and resistance to fill migration. It is important to note that while our fabrics are rated down proof, that actually means the construction and treatment of the fabric keeps leakage of down to an acceptably low level, tested to an international standard. A small feather could still pop through, and a down cluster will occasionally come out through a stitch line. If some down does escape, it is better to pinch it from the inside and draw it back into the bag. Pulling it out can create a hole in the fabric. Microscopic dust particles from down will certainly migrate through, so anyone with a down allergy should know their own level of allergic reaction beforehand.

INSULATION: SYNTHETIC FIBRE Thermoguard 6000: an insulating fibre technology specially-developed for sleeping bags, with great loft and durability. It uses an exact blend of four-hole fibers for warmth and lower melting-point fibers to bind it together in a special process, stabilizing the insulation layer. This means fewer seams that would otherwise compress the fill and let warmth escape. Thermoguard 6000 is also hypoallergenic, water-resistant and breathable. Thermofill: synthetic fill for when low weight and bulk are not critical.

DOWN

SHELL FABRIC:

We use only high-quality, responsibly-sourced down in our bags and select the best fill power for weight, warmth, loft (volume) and cost. Down loft is expressed as fill power. It is simply a way to measure the ability of down to fill a volume and is expressed as the number of cubic inches filled by one ounce of down. So, 650 FP gives 650 cuin of volume for 1 oz of down.

these have to do four very important things - keep the insulation inside, keep as much water as possible outside, resist damage and allow condensation to escape.

The higher the fill power, the less is needed for the same warmth but because higher fill power down is much harder to get, the price increases accordingly.

Airtex® 40D 56gsm 100% Nylon dobby with C6 Reach WR – a light, water-resistant and durable shell for Trek, Pro and Xtrem fiber bags. 30D 55gsm 100% Nylon ripstop – down proof, water resistant, light and durable shell for our down sleeping bags. 50D 59gsm 100% Polyester ripstop with C6 Reach WR – a strong, water-resistant and durable fiber shell Pertex 30D 52gsm 100% Nylon miniripstop – a high-quality, durable, down proof and water-resistant shell fabric for the Rago Xtrem. Rainguard 75D 100% Polyester with 3000mm PU – actually one of our tent fabrics, used to keep the foot end of some of our synthetic bags nice and dry. 100% Nylon Taslon ripstop Anti slide – a specially-woven fabric used on the base of our fibre bags to resist sliding.

LINING FABRIC: the liner fabric has two functions - keep the insulation in place, and feel comfortable. Airtex® 50D 85gsm 100% Polyester with C6 Reach WR – water resistant and quickdrying for our Trek, Pro and Xtrem fiber bags. Airtex® 30D 48gsm 100% Nylon with C6 Reach WR – downproof and water resistant for some of our down bags Pertex 30D 46gsm 100% nylon taffeta – an exceptionally comfortable, down proof and durable liner fabric with good water resistance and great breathability.

DUCK VS GOOSE: The insulation properties of goose and duck are almost identical when considering all the other factors. The main reason for using goose down is that it’s not possible for duck down to reliably attain a fill power above 650. For a good bag that is designed down to around -15 degrees, duck down is sufficient. Goose down would be a lot more expensive, for no real advantage. For a premium bag where weight and volume are critical factors, the only way forward is to use 750 fill power and above. That means goose.

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 Ergopro Ltd.– formerly Thelma AS – 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 Ergopro Ltd 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 Ergopro Lt.d 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.” Arvid Påsche, Managing director Ergopro Ltd.

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 penetrate. Use spray impregnation in order to retain the water repellent properties. The impregnation should always be applied to a clean and dry bag. It is a good idea to use a rain cover in very wet conditions.

TIPS AND TRICKS

TEST THE BACKPACK IN THE STORE! HELSPORT When you buy a new pack it's a good idea to try it on in-store with some weight added. Ask for a tent or anything heavy to put inside, so that you get an idea of how the pack will feel when you use it.

ALTA LADY 65L

65L 85L

A MINIMALIST BACKPACK FOR BOTH DAY TRIPS AND LONGER HIKES The Alta harness is constructed using the LINK support system, designed to fit your body and effectively transfer your energy, especially when carrying a heavy load for an extended period.

-- Helsport LINKTM carrying system with ventilated back and pivoting belt

The compression system, roll-top closure and detachable lid give the Alta versatility, with substantially less load than the maximum volume specifies.

-- Removable lid (5L) with four pockets and a key hook -- Spacious front pocket for easy access

The roll-top closure for the main compartment means you can head out for a hike and leave the lid at home, if you wish. This makes the pack simpler, with less volume. You can also attach the lid to the shoulder straps and create a large, easily accessible pocket on your chest for maps, camera or a snack. The load is then also better distributed over your body and thus more ergonomically efficient. The removable lid can also be used as a hip bag or shoulder bag for shorter trips from camp.

-----

The Alta Lady's shoulder straps, belt and back length are designed to suit the female form. The sternum strap has extra room for adjustment, and can be moved to behind the neck if desired. Even in this position, it will still help keep the shoulder straps together.

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The most important criteria for a pack is carrying comfort, and we knew that designing a pack for women would be no exception. We needed good information straight from the source, and our call for knowledge was answered by over eight hundred replies on social media. The resulting carrying system is proportionally smaller but with no compromise on performance and strength. The shoulder straps have been trimmed and reshaped and the hipbelt designed specifically for women. We learned that the sternum strap needed to be as adjustable as possible, so we increased the range of fit, even allowing the strap to be fixed behind the shoulders, giving stability without getting in the way.

TECHNICAL INFO | BACKPACKS

PACK SIZING It is important that you choose a correctly-sized pack. You can get a general indication of pack size from your height, but measuring your torso is better. Find the C7 vertebra in your neck. It’s the prominent bone that can be felt just above your shoulders when you tip your head forward. Measure from there down to the middle of your lumbar curve which is level with your iliac crest (the top of your hips). Lady– 39 to 45 cm torso length (160 to 175cm height) Small/Medium – 39 to 45 cm torso length (160 to 175cm height) Medium/Large – 45 to 51 cm torso length (175 to 195cm height)

PACK FIT A properly-fitted pack will make a world of difference to your trip. It gives more freedom of movement to the muscles most used for walking, balancing and climbing and keeps fatigue to a minimum. As a general rule about 75% of the weight is usually carried on your hips, but a properly-fitted pack will let you easily shift the load between your hips and shoulders to reduce fatigue. Some of the most important muscles for walking are in the backs of your legs and lower back. The hipbelt should not be so tight as to restrict their movement.

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS We recommend putting a loose sleeping bag inside your pack before fitting to give it some shape and then adding at least 10kg of weight, placed close to your back. Note: Your fully-loaded pack should ideally be no heavier than one quarter of your body weight. If you are not accustomed to carrying heavy loads, one fifth is better.

SLACKEN BOTH TOP AND HIPBELT STABILISERS, AND THE SHOULDER STRAPS ADJUST THE SHOULDER STRAP HEIGHT Release the Link buckles by pushing them downwards Match the buckle position to your height as printed on the webbing Check both straps are even and then click the Link buckles back into place. The adjustment webbing should sit flat against the shoulder straps. Note: This adjustment is a good first step – fine-tuning might still be needed

PUT ON THE PACK, FIRMLY TIGHTEN THE HIPBELT AND CHECK - The lumbar pad should be comfortable against your lower back and the top of the hipbelt just above your iliac crest - The shoulder straps should fit the curve of your shoulders - The shoulder strap attachment point should be near the ridge of bone that runs across your upper shoulder blade - Use the Link buckles to fine tune the height, if needed If the straps are too low, the pack will pull away and be unstable If the straps sit above your shoulders they will not carry a load

136

HEL S P ORT

2018

TECHNICAL INFO | BACKPACKS

ADJUST THE STERNUM STRAP HEIGHT: The sternum strap should be high enough to not restrict breathing, without being so close to your throat as to cause discomfort Note: The sternum strap doesn’t carry a load, it only locates the shoulder straps, so don’t make it too tight.

TIGHTEN THE TOP STABILISERS – these pull the pack closer to you to improve balance and control. They should not be so tight that they pull the shoulder straps upwards.

TIGHTEN THE HIPBELT STABILISERS – these should not be pulled so tight as to deform the hipbelt Final, and most important test: Go for a walk. The only way to make sure that your pack is properly fitted is to carry it on uneven terrain for at least an hour. Make adjustments as needed to remove unexpected discomfort. Enjoy the trip!

FRAME STAYS If the lumbar pad is not sitting comfortably against your back and the pack is fitted with frame stays, it is possible to carefully bend the stays just above the lumbar pad so they match the shape of your spine. It is very important to do this only after all other adjustments have been made. Note: the shape of your spine changes with the load, so it is essential that your pack is fully loaded for this step

LOADING YOUR PACK • • • • • • •

This is an important factor. Weight packed away from your centre of gravity adds strain and throws you off balance Pack heavy items about shoulder height, close to your back (cooking gear, fuel) Keep essentials near the top (headlamp, map, snacks) Have a jacket within easy reach in case the weather turns bad Pack lighter things not needed during the day at the bottom (sleeping bag, extra clothes) You will have better balance skiing if heavy objects are packed lower, just above lumbar height. Pack everything inside if possible to avoid snagging on trees and rocks

MATERIALS: We carefully choose all our pack fabrics, placing them specifically where the unique benefit of each material is used to its best advantage. Our quality standards focus on abrasion resistance, tear strength, seam strength and waterproofness. Note: Even though we use treated and coated fabric on all our packs, they are not waterproof. Rain can still get in through the seams and the zips. Therefore we recommend using additional waterproof bags for anything you want to keep dry. If you expect heavy rain, use a rain cover.

LY GAPAHUK A LIGHTWEIGHT SHELTER THAT IS QUICK AND EASY TO PITCH The LY Gapahuk is perfect for ultralight trips from spring through fall, or just as a shelter when resting. It sleeps 4 people, but can also be used to increase comfort with a tent. By using the gapahuk over the tent entrance you get a spacious vestibule, creating more room for drying and storing your gear, as well as for cooking. The width is easily adjusted with webbing. The rear height can be modified with guy lines or peg loops to suit different situations. The single pole makes for simple pitching, and the guy points have integrated guy line collectors and peg loops. You can attach the guy lines to natural objects like trees, which makes pitching even easier. The LY Gapahuk accommodates up to 4 people, depending on how wide or high you pitch it.

FOR INCREASED SAFETY IN THE MOUNTAINS

The LY Vindsekk is light, weighing only 460 gm, and compact. It easily fits two people sitting either beside or opposite each other. The integrated stuff sack has a roll-top closure, designed to be used with mittens which makes packing and unpacking easier when the wind picks up. The Vindsekk has two closable vents, and the stuff sack has mesh in the bottom to prevent condensation. To check the conditions outside there is a small window in the front, or the top can be unzipped. This way you can also sit partially outside if the weather allows. The bottom has an adjustable cord closure if the weather turns really bad.
