Mountain Equipment Helium GT 250 Sleeping Bag (1°C/34°F)

Light and packable enough for even minimalist trips in warm weather, this bag still gives you a little extra room for added comfort. With a more generous fit than the standard Helium range, the Helium GT series is designed for extended use and is exceptionally comfortable for those who like a little more room to move.

Using 289 g of minimum 700-fill power DOWN CODEX-approved duck down and a high-performance, 100% recycled Helium 20D outer fabric, the Helium GT 250 is an incredibly efficient yet lightweight and packable sleeping bag, perfect for minimalist trips in warm weather.

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, 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 PFAS-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 will not 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 more generous GT Fit, the Helium GT follows the same tapered shape as the Alpine fit but with a broader profile that does not sacrifice performance. With a Good Night's Sleep Temperature of 1°C (34°F), the Helium GT 250 is great for extended warm-weather backpacking and camping.
