Stable, efficient, and built with sustainability in mind. The Halny Elite 2 offers reliable shelter without excess weight or complication.
Wild Country says:
At 1500g (excluding pegs and bags), the Halny Elite 2 strikes a balance between packability and interior space. The 2025 update features fully recycled, PFC-free fabrics across the fly, inner, and floor, while maintaining a 4000 mm HH flysheet and 5000 mm HH groundsheet for confident weather protection.
The tunnel-style design uses a single main pole with end struts, pitching as one unit for efficient setup. The dual-door layout enhances access and airflow, featuring head and foot vents, as well as tie-back options for managing condensation. The flysheet can be rolled back or propped open with trekking poles to create two sheltered awnings, which enhance ventilation and usability in poor weather conditions.
Inside, the 222 cm length and 117 cm width provide enough room for two, although with a tunnel-style layout and sloping walls, it feels best suited to solo use. There's space to stretch out alone, but for two, the interior can start to feel confined. It's workable for short trips, but for extended use, the shared space may feel restrictive.
The porch areas are functional for storing packs and cooking gear. A two-way zip on each door allows for controlled venting and easier access from either side.
