HAND BUILT IN NEW ZEALAND
CLEAN
SIMPLE
ULTRALIGHT
As outdoor enthusiasts and long-distance hikers, we focus on function over fashon, that simplicity is best. At Helium we believe gear should be ‘clean’, this means as few straps, pockets and parts as possible. The less parts, the less failure points. We believe packs should be simple: this means straightforward, intuitive and easy to use. Most of all, gear needs to be as light as possible without sacrificing performance.
​

Custom Sizing:
We've been fitting packs a long time and can say without hesitation that our two sizes cover off the vast majority of people out there. However, in the event you need a different size to what we offer. we will happily build you a custom torso length at no additional cost.

Custom designs for children now available
Here at Helium...we understand how difficult it can be to find high-end equipment for children. With this in mind we set out to replicate our classic pack in smaller sizes, without compromising fit or performance.
​
Our kids packs are custom sized, yet usually fall in the 25-35 cm torso range. Shoulder straps and hipbelts are thinner and shorter in length, and we add some modifications that simplify the build and help keep the price down.
​
Childrens packs are $200 each or 2 for $350
