A tent is often a major investment, so you need to choose well to make sure you end up with the tent that’s right for you and your needs. Below, we offer some points that will hopefully make it easier to compare Helsport tents.

Size

When we talk about one-, two-, and three-person tents, the number of people is calculated so that there is just enough space for the specified number of people to sleep side by side in their sleeping bags, but that’s about it. If you choose a three-person tent for three person, it may feel a little cramped when it’s time to cook or fit all the kit inside. This is important to keep in mind when choosing the size, especially if you plan to spend time inside the tent with a group, bring gear inside, and live a bit more spaciously.

It's also good to note that tents come in both rectangular and tapered designs. Therefore, it's worth considering the most suitable sleeping pads for the chosen tent.

Many of Helsport's tent models are available in multiple sizes, meaning the same model can be found in versions designed for different numbers of people.

If you primarily camp during the summer season, the need for space inside the tent is not as significant as in colder and harsher conditions, because you generally spend more time outside the tent and only use it for sleeping. Additionally, you tend to have less gear in the summer compared to late autumn or winter.

In winter, it is recommended to choose a tent one size larger than what you initially thought based on the number of people. This is due to the amount of gear and the fact that winter equipment takes up more space, from sleeping bags to pads and clothing, etc. For three winter campers, a four-person tent is definitely recommended. Additionally, if the weather turns challenging, it's good to have enough space inside for the whole group to be reasonably comfortable.

Vestibules and apses

Consider how much extra space you want in the tent's vestibules or apses. In harsh weather and rain, it can be nice to cook under the shelter or temporarily house a wet, swamp-smelling dog in the vestibule. Some people also choose to store their gear under the apses instead of inside the tent.

Helsport Lofoten series

The Helsport Lofoten series includes spacious tunnel tents. The Pro version of Lofoten impresses with its perfect balance of lightness and durability, and it is designed to function in all four seasons. The Adventure SL (Super Light) version is in a class of its own in terms of lightness, with the two-person version weighing only 2.14 kg. It doesn't weigh much or take up much space in the backpack, and its practical, well-thought-out features delight any camper. The Scouter is profiled as a high-quality general-purpose tent when you need reliable shelter on your trips. Guaranteed Helsport quality at a slightly more affordable price.

Helsport Valhalla

Tent for the whole group. The Valhalla tent can be purchased with two inner tents, one at each end of the tent. It is available as just the outer tent or as a package that includes everything. The vestibule of the tent has a standing height of 210 cm and a living area of 7.68 m². The sleeping areas at both ends of the tent can accommodate up to four people, so it can handle a larger group. Perhaps more suitable for static camping or base camp use, as the whole setup has some weight and size: the outer tent with accessories weighs around 10 kg, the inner tent is lighter at only 1.65 kg, and the footprint weighs 600 g. You can place a Helsport stove also in this model’s vestibule, so five stars for this hotel.
