Helio XL is a lightweight, freestanding wing tarp that keeps you dry (or shaded) at basecamp with enough height to stand up. Ideal as a communal campsite shelter for extended trips and larger family and friend groups. The included poles allow you to pitch on open ground without the need to find a camping spot with suitable trees. Also available in a regular size for smaller groups or as a lightweight bivvy shelter. 

• Provides spacious communal area with standing height
• Large enough to cover at least 6 bivvy-ers
• 2 aluminium tarp poles included for open-ground pitches
• Reinforced 7-point construction maintains stability in windy conditions

Simple to pitch in less than 3 minutes, the 7-point wing tarp construction with 8 adjustable guy lines keeps it firmly in place in higher winds and gives you plenty of potential pitching configurations. Pitched high with the included aluminium poles adds a huge amount liveable space to your basecamp setup with plenty of room for tables and chairs for at least 6 people - add 1 or 2 extra poles (not included) to your setup to further open out your shelter. For multi-day wild camping trips, leave the poles at home to save weight and pitch your Helio XL tarp close to the ground with walking poles or trees for a low-profile group bivvy shelter.

Helio XL packs down into a compact carry bag with a total weight less than 3kg (1.8kg without poles) making it a great addition to boost campsite comfort without taking up loads of space or weighing you down when carrying your kit. To keep things neat when packing down your tarp we've added a handy velcro pouch at each of the reinforced corners to stow the adjustable guy lines - your future self will be grateful there's no tangles when you come to pitch it next time!
