Description
The Helium 680 is the warmest model in the Helium series suitable for temperatures as low as -12°C. Ideally suited to cold weather and four-season camping including use above the snowline.
Ultralight shell fabric and high-loft down fill on the Helium bags mean higher performance for less weight. Durable 10 by 10 denier, 520 thread count Nylon weighing only 26g/m2 with a hot-rolled-cire treatment to prevent down leakage and increase durability. Premium 800+ loft RDS white down fill with DWR Loft treatment adds greater resilience, higher loft and better warmth in damp conditions.
Caution: While the Helium 680 is rated to -12ºC, it is for the experienced alpinist. If you a cold sleeper or just starting your alpine journey we recommend the Brindabella XT.
