FS: Outdoor Research Helium Bivy, Pertex Shield+, 16oz

**1000-oaks** · 01-29-2020, 12:05 AM

Brand-new with tags, paprika red color, bought in Oct 2019 directly from OR. I read that the pole for the hoop is a bit long, so some users shorten it to make it easy to set up.

Our Helium Bivy used to be the best-selling, award-winning, lightest shelter offered by Outdoor Research - until we outshone it with this: The newly renovated Helium Bivy. 14% lighter than its previous version, the Helium Bivy is ideal for multiday minimalists who are looking to trade weight for speed, agility, and performance. Thru-hikers and bikepackers love the new Helium for its refined footprint and reduced weight, and trust it for its feathery waterproof and breathable Pertex® Shield+ fabric that doesn't compromise on durability. A no-nonsense clamshell opening is sure to handle seasons of adventuring to come.

For an extra $5 to cover shipping, I'll throw in a chocolate brown waterproof-breathable Stoic Vaporshell 3L Anorak for free, only worn a couple times. Size large and in excellent condition. It's like this one, but in a rich dark brown color: Stoic Vaporshell 3L Anorak

Small photo, but gives you the color.
