Helinox - lightweight, super compact, camping gear

(1/8) > >>

Helinox:
G'day MySwaggers,

Thought you might be interested in our range of lightweight camping gear.

Helinox equipment makes use of an advanced alloy – DAC TH72M – that was previously only used in the best lightweight expedition tents.

The result is gear that is super compact, very light and very strong.

Camp Chairs

From left to right:
Ground Chair – holds 120 kg, weighs 0.63 kg, packed length: 30 cm.
Chair One – holds 145 kg, weighs 0.89 kg, packed length: 35 cm.
Camp Chair – holds 145 kg, weighs 1.29 kg, packed length: 50 cm.
Sunset Chair – holds 145 kg, weighs 1.4 kg, packed length: 47 cm.

Given that the average camp chair weighs around 5 kg and is very bulky, switching to Helinox gear will save many kilograms and heaps of valuable space! A group of 5 using Helinox 'Camp Chair' will save over 18 kg just on chairs!

Carry bag for Camp & Sunset chairs.

A lot of time has been spent making sure the chairs are also very comfortable. With the two larger chairs ('Camp' & 'Sunset') the seat fabric has been cut to provide good lower back support.

The carry bags can be attached to the frame during assembly for storage (or ballast in windy conditions as they are so light). For Sunset Chair we went a step further – stuff the carry bag with a rolled up towel and it attaches to the seat back for a neck pillow.

We also provide a range of other gear.

There's an Ultralight Table (just 0.66 kg) that's the perfect companion for Chair One.

Also 'Cot One', a very sturdy, lightweight camp stretcher. A unique lever-locking system provides excellent tension to the bed surface.

'Cot One' holds 150 kg, weighs less than 2 kg and packs down to 53 cm x 15 cm diameter. Compare that to your generic aluminium stretcher that only holds 100 kg, weighs 7.0 kg and is nearly a meter long when packed!

To keep prices down and the level of service & support up, we don't supply retailers. We sell direct via our website (www.helinox.com.au) or phone 1800 925 525.

Now comes the important part. Our mission is to create raving fans of our gear, so if you don't love it send it back within 7 days for a full refund!

Cheers
Andrew

Looks nice... :)

Swannie:
just checked out your website, gear looks good but TBH the pricing scares me a little! $300 plus  for a single stretcher & more than $170 for a chair.

In saying that if you wish to supply some gear for "testing" I will be more than happy to give an unbiased opinion on your products  :angel:

- 'High Cot' (190 x 67 cm, approx 38 cm high) with legs, allowing storage underneath.
- 'Lite Cot' (185 x 60 cm) just 1.3 kg (best for kids & slim builds).

Cheers
