    Helium 800

    Using 795g of minimum 700-fill power DOWN CODEX-approved duck down and a high-performance, 100% recycled Helium 20D outer fabric, the supremely comfortable Helium 800 is warm, lightweight and ultra compressible for easy packing. Versatile, durable and with expedition-proven features, it excels whether backpacking at altitude or ski touring through winter mountains.

    Using 795g of minimum 700-fill power DOWN CODEX-approved duck down and a high-performance, 100% recycled Helium 20D outer fabric, the supremely comfortable Helium 800 is warm, lightweight and ultra compressible for easy packing. Versatile, durable and with expedition-proven features, it excels whether backpacking at altitude or ski touring through winter mountains.

    Slant-baffle construction through the body maximises warmth, improves packability and prevents down migration, keeping you warm night after night and preventing cold spots. At the foot of the bag, a four-baffle system focuses warmth around your feet—essential when spending extended time in cold climates—while in the hood, a five-baffle system optimises comfort and keeps the down precisely where it needs to be.

    Inside the bag, a 100% recycled Supersoft 20D lining fabric with Fluorocarbon-free DWR offers breathability and durability for comfortable nights and a long lifespan, while a full-length Gemini™ entry zip baffle practically eliminates heat loss in this vulnerable area and is stiffened so it won’t catch in the zip. The low-profile magnetic Lode Lock™ closure and collar drawcords are practical and easy to use in the dark.

    Designed with a technical yet comfortable Alpine 2.0 fit, Helium bags optimise thermal performance while minimising weight. With a Good Night’s Sleep Temperature of -16°C (3°F), the Helium 800 is a reliably warm and packable bag, perfect for camping, trekking and touring in cold conditions.
