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.

2005

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!

BØRGE OUSLAND

CASPER RAVNSBÆK

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.

2010/2011

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.

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.

2010 IDA S. RØSTAD

1999

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

HISTORY

1986

BØRGE OUSLAND

1994

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. This year we have been partners for 30 years.

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 invited into the American South Pole Base after skiing 1319 km alone for 50 days.

2012

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

BØRGE OUSLAND

2015

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.

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.

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

Many people make it very easy for themselves 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.59

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.

CHOOSE YOUR TENT

To make your choice easier, we have divided our tents into three categories:

TREK - Comfort and user-friendliness

The tents in the TREK category has been developed focusing on making tent life as comfortable as possible. Like all Helsport tents they are also very user friendly, has our excellent ventilation system, and are quick and easy to pitch up.

PRO - Weight- and volume conscious

The tents in the PRO category are designed to be as lightweight and durable as possible. Here you will find both SuperLight three-season tents, as well as lightweight tents that can withstand the harsh Nordic conditions all year around. The four season tents have an outer tent fabric with a tear strength of 20 kg, which make them some of the most durable on the market. All details and materials on PRO tents are selected based on an optimal balance between durability and low weight.

X-TREM - For extreme conditions

The tents in the X-TREM category are designed to withstand the world's toughest conditions. These tents have the same outer fabric with a tear strength of 20kg, but also some unique features that make them particularly suitable for winter use. Both pole cups and channels are dimensioned for double poles. The guy-line points are reinforced to increase wind stability and better anchoring of the tent. The tents are also equipped with storm flaps, which are important in heavy winds, or when pitching your tent on loose or rocky conditions. Since circulation is reduced significantly by the use of storm flaps, they have an extra circulation vent which ensures fresh air from below. The quality of these tents are confirmed daily by both Norwegian and international expeditions.

TIPS AND TRICKS

MORE COMFORT IN YOUR LAVVU/VARANGER DOME For increased comfort and a good life inside 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 lavvu if you plan 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 not using the optional inner tent. Drying rack and kettle holder is also something to consider in making life inside the lavvu more convenient.

PATAGONIA

THE ULTIMATE EXPEDITION TENT, DEVELOPED WITH BØRGE OUSLAND Patagonia is developed in close cooperation between Helsport and Børge Ousland, and is based on Børges 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 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 in extreme wind. Enough height ensures comfort 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 easily and functionally 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. The flysheet har a tear strength of 20 kg, making it one of the most durable in the market. 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.

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. This tent meet my extreme requirements, both when it comes to strength and easy handling."

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.

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 provide 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 Børges 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 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.

PEGS: Both snow pegs (31 cm) and Helsport (19 cm) aluminium pegs are included.

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 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

TIPS AND TRICKS

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 KjĂ¸ndal Teacher KVS Lyngdal

2003 -TRANSPATAGONIAN GLACIER TRAVERS

2004 -TWO POLES, ONLY ONE ARM AND LEG

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

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.

3 CAMP 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 and the flysheet har a tear strength of 20 kg, making it one of the most durable in the market. 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 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 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.

2007 -HAMAR TO THE TOP OF EVEREST

2011 –RETURN TO THE PENGUIN KINGDOM

2013 – WEGGE BROS TO BJØRNØYA (BEAR ISLAND)

Project ”Hamar to the top” was part of a teaching project where 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 create awareness on the subject.

Brothers Haakon, Inge and Markus Wegge travelled in late April to Bjørnøya to fulfill the dream they had been planning for two years. They stayed there for 2 months surfing, snowboarding, skiing, kiting, fishing and playing.

SVALBARD CAMP

6 CAMP

OUR LARGEST X-TREM TENT, WITH GOOD HEIGHT AND TWO ENTRANCES 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. The flysheet har a tear strength of 20 kg, making it one of the most durable in the market. 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. If you value comfort, space and wind-stability, this is a very good choice for your next winter adventure.

INNER TENT FOR LAVVU For extra comfort in a lavvu, it is recommended to use an inner tent. The lavvo inner tent is big enough for two people. It keeps insects out, provides good ventilation and reduces condensation. It fits all Helsport Lavvus and is easily mounted to the center pole and plugged firmly into the ground. It can also be used as a mosquito tent, but then you need something to mount the top of the inner tent to, example a tree.

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.

TECHNICAL INFO | TENT AND LAVVU

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 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 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 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 important to choose the construction that fits your needs.

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.

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 non-freestanding 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 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.

TECHNICAL INFO | TENT AND LAVVU

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 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, and Finnmark have lightweight aluminium poles with a compact design developed by Helsport. The remaining models uses durable and robust steel poles

GAPAHUK-poles: Gapahuk comes with segments of aluminium poles.

COLOR CODING All tents with different lengths of the poles are color coded. Red poles belongs to the red marked channel, yellow pole in yellow channel etc.

HEL SP ORT 2016

TECHNICAL INFO | TENT AND LAVVU POLE CUP When the pole is threaded through the pole sleeve, it is held it in place in a pole cup. Extreme 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. 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 63.

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 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 re ecting 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 than a setup 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. TREK/PRO: Helsport aluminum pegs; 8 grams, 15 centimeters.

X-TREM: Helsport aluminum pegs; 19 grams, 10 centimeters.

LAVVU: The big lavvus come with V-pegs and are made of steel weighing 35 grams and 18 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 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 High levels of CO2 feel 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 Helsports 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 by therefore high levels of CO2-gas.

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.

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

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

TECHNICAL INFO | TENT AND LAVVU

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 4-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 vapouring 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. Fabric name

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 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®, 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®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 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 68D POLYESTER WR/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

30D POLYESTER RIPSTOP WR: 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.

15D POLYAMIDE WR 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 70D POLYAMIDE 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. 70D POLYESTER FR 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.

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 sowater can´t collect at the seam edge, but instead 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 sowing 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 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. 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 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 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.

PRESSURE CHAMBER

TEKSTIL FABRIC

TRYKK-KAMMER

ØKENDEWATER VANNTRYKK INCREASING 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.

WHY CHOOSE A SLEEPING BAG HELSPORT? We know sleeping outdoors

We created our first sleeping bags already in 1954 and has since then been upfront in the 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 aScandinavian 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.72.

Our special fiber

Helsport Thermoguard速6000 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. Because of that we avoid unnecessary seams which create cold spaces and squeezes the fiber mat. Read more on p. 97.

CHOOSE YOUR SLEEPING BAG

To make your choice easier, we have divided our sleeping bags into three categories:

TREK - Comfort and user-friendliness Sleeping bags TREK series is designed to be as comfortable as possible. These bags have comfortable fabrics, and a wide and roomy fit that provides extra sleeping comfort. We have bags with both down and fiber insulation.

PRO - Weight - and volume conscious Sleeping bags in the PRO category are designed for the most optimal ratio possible between low weight, high insulation and small packed volume. You get a wide range of light 3-season bags with technical lightweight fabrics and customized fit in this category.

X-TREM - For extreme conditions Sleeping bags in X-TREM category are designed to withstand low temperatures and extreme use. They have various insulation systems, tailored for different situations and to cope with any climate - whether it is cold, wet, or both. These are sleeping bags that at all times ensure that both Norwegian and international expeditions stay warm under the toughest conditions.

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.

HULDREHEIMEN TECHNOLOGY FOR WOMEN

SLEEPING BAG FOR WOMEN In 2011 Helsport introduced Huldreheimen, a 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.

Huldreheimen FOR WOMEN consept: Shorter length

Narrower shoulder section 1. W’s StayWarmCollar™: A collar designed for female body shape that is easy to adjust for both cold and warm situations. It makes the sleeping bag more versatile, comfortable and makes sure hot air stays inside the sleeping bag.

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.

Wide hip zone

THE MAKING OF HULDREHEIMEN FOR WOMEN

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.

COOPERATION WITH THE BAFFIN BABES 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.

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.

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

”I’m really just a normal 22 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.”

TIPS AND TRICKS

EASY CLEANING AND EXTRA ISOLATION Using a liner in your sleeping bag will protect it from wear and make cleaning easier. In addition to increased comfort and better hygiene, a sleeping bag liner can improve insulation by up to 8 degrees.

MINI 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) 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 FLEX CONCEPT

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.

ANDREAS KJØNDAL

EASY HANDLING 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 didn’t manage on their own. Therefore the details on these bags are red, 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.

Two-way zipper and glow in dark puller

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

Compression bag with operation instruction

Pillow pocket. 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, 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 Alta Winter)

LASTING FOR YEARS

Quick hood closure that can be stowed away

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 – and learn to use it.

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.

SLEEPING BAGS | HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE

TEMPERATURE RATINGS EUROPEAN STANDARD EN 13537 We rate our sleeping bags 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.

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 sleeping bag after first considering two main aspects:

1.YOUR OWN PHYSIQUE:

2. USAGE SCENARIO

- How easily do I normally get cold?

- What kind of trip am I going on?

- How experienced am I at sleeping outdoors?

- How hungry and tired will I be when I’m going to sleep?

- How good is my current shape?

- 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 freeze easily

- Use of good insulation mat

Use sleeping bag at your own risk in red zone only if:

- You are unfamiliar with sleeping outdoors

- That you cover up for wind and humidity

- You very seldom freeze

- That you every day dry the sleeping bag after use.

- You are experienced at sleeping outdoors

- That you use dry wool underwear (or similar) and a warm hat if necessary.

- You are willing to prioritize low gear weight instead of comfortable sleep

- You are female - You haven’t slept or eaten properly - You are sleeping exposed (for example under open sky) - You wish to have a bigger safety margin

- You use the heat trap collar and close the sleeping bag properly

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.

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. Since startup, they have been hosting over 11,000 youths on Dale Oen center Øygården! 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 2016. Follow us on new adventures on www.daleoen.com. Robin Dale Oen, General Manager The Dale Oen Experience

TECHNICAL INFO | SLEEPING BAGS

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

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/THREE LAYER INSULATION: Two or three layers of Thermoguard®6000 insulation. Only the first layer is stitched while the second is free floating to dramatically increase its insulation characteristics.

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.

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.

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. All zippers are basically joinable, but to get the desired effect, the two bags need to have the same length and a right and left version. All zippers are two-way. That gives more flexibilety of heat regulation.

HEL S P ORT

2016

CLOSED

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.

TECHNICAL INFO | SLEEPING BAGS

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.

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 650 cuin/oz ensuring good return to form after compression in our PRO and X-TREM sleeping bags. In our TREK-sleeping bags we use 70/30 white Duck down, 350 cuin oz.

SHELL FABRICS:

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.

AIRTEX® 40D 100% POLYAMIDE DOBBY RIPSTOP - lightweight, water resistant and durable ripstop for TREK, PRO og X-TREM sleeping bags. 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® 30D POLYAMIDE RIPSTOP - down proof and water resistant liner fabrics 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 hypoallergenic, 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.

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.

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

WHY CHOOSE A HELSPORT BACKPACK? We know Norwegian conditions

All our bags are designed for tackling the challenging nature we have here in Norway, and that means they are adapted to rough terrain, changing weather and four seasons.

LINKTM carrying system

Anyone who has carried a heavy loaded backpack, has also experienced walking with a forward lean and a curved spine. A lot of energy is used to stabilize the pack. Pressure from the hip belt reduces freedom of movement for the legs and blood circulation to the glutes and legs will decline. With LINKTM you avoid all of this. Adjusting LINKTM to your back length is quick and easy.

User-friendly functionality

When we create a new backpack we always cooperate closely with active users, and think very functional. The result of this are packs with flexible solutions, suited for a variety of activities. Most features can be hidden when not in use, avoiding that they are in the way hanging loose.

JĂ&#x2DC;RGEN KVALSVIK

CHOOSE YOUR BACKPACK

To make your choice easier, we have sorted our backpacks into three categories:

TREK - Comfort and user friendly The backpacks in TREK category are designed with comfort in mind. These are functional and user friendly packs of high quality, with durable materials, which meet most peoples needs.

PRO - Weight and volume conscious The backpacks in the PRO category are developed focusing on low weight and efficient functionality. In these packs we use lighter materials, and all the solutions are designed so that the backpacks are as flexible and practical as possible.

X-TREM - For extreme conditions The backpacks in the X-TREM category are designed to be used on the toughest and most demanding hikes. Both strong materials and special features for expeditions on some models, make these packs withstand any challenge. In this category you will also find the backpacks that lets you carry the heaviest loads.

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 done on a clean and dry bag. Remember to use rain cover in heavy rain.

TIPS AND TRICKS

TEST THE BACKPACK IN THE STORE! When you buy a new pack it is a good idea to try it on in the store with weight inside. Ask for a tent or anything heavy to put inside, so that you get the feeling of how the pack will be on when you use it.

STIAN AADLAND ”I am currently 31 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. ” www.stianmedsekken.net HELSPORT

LIFJELL

35L 45L

LIGHT AND VERY FLEXIBLE, WITH UNIQUE DETACHABLE BACK MESH AND DETACHABLE LID 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.

SUSPENSION SYSTEM

-helps your body to carry correctly

When carrying a heavy packover several days in tough, Norwegian mountain terrain, the body will have to endure strains beyond what it is used to. 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 A HEAVY PACK: - 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 glutes 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 the Helsport LINKâ&#x201E;˘ carrying system in 2011.

SUSPENSION SYSTEM

ABOUT HELSPORT LINK™ For adjusting the back length, start by releasing the grry buckle. Now position this on the webbing according to your length. Reinsert the part into the shoulder strap unit, and the webbing will automatically be locked in the chosen position. Now try the pack on. If further adjustment is needed, go through the steps above again, shortening or lengthening the back in small steps. Use the neck and hip stabilization straps to change the pressure points, and to position the load according to the terrain V-shaped aluminium rods with horizontal support ensure good stability combined with plastic supports that protects the back from protruding objects.

HELSPORT LINK ™ -comes in customized designs for the different models: THE PRO SEGMENT: Firm, lightweight padding that provide good load distribution.

THE X-TREM SEGMENT: Wide and firm padding in the belt and shoulder straps. Backpacks in this category are designed for large and extremely heavy loads.

A stable pack means you need to use less effort to stabilize the mass you carry on your back. At the same time it gives you a greater degree of control and balance in difficult situations. 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 also 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.

OUR LARGEST 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 the 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.

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: Our fabrics are developed especially for 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 192D 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 192D. 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. It also absorbes very little moisture. These are the optimal features for of surfaces that are in contact with the body.

ZIPPERS The zipper is an important component on the backpack. Helsport 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 exposed to strain correctly and as little as 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.

TECHNICAL INFO | BACKPACKS

ADVICE 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 a 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 does not fit the pack. There is, on some of the packs, a possibility to customize. 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 distribute 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 organazing your backpack will greatly improve comfort while carrying heavy loads. Another factor to consider is convenient access to the items you will possibly need during the day, eliminating the need to unpack trailside. For the rest of the gear, 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. 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 1 /4 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 stabilize 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, the packs are not completely waterproof because the seams are not taped. In heavy rain a raincover is recomended. 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 160-175 cm. MEDIUM/LARGE (M/L) -bags are suitable for 45 to 51 cm torso lengths. Body length about 175-195 cm. *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.

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

LY VINDSEKK

TEST WINNER! UTE | no. 72

FOR INCREASED SECURITY AND SAFETY IN THE MOUNTAINS A emergency bivy bag should always be a part of your backpack because of the safety it provides if the weather gets bad and you need shelter. It can also be used as a shelter when eating lunch or if you need fast cover under a short downpour. The LY Vindsekk is light, weighing only 460 g and packs down small. Despite the pack size it easily fits two persons sitting beside or opposite to each other. The integrated stuff sack has roll closure and is designed to be used with mittens. This makes packing and unpacking easier when the wind picks up. The windsack has two closable vents, and the stuff sack has mesh in the bottom to prevent condensation. To check the conditions outside, a small window in the front can be used, or the top can be unzipped. This way you can also sit partially outside if the weather allows it. The bottom has an adjustable cord closure if the weather turns really bad.
