CLOSED WIN a Helium Bivy from Outdoor Research!
This competition is now CLOSED and we can now announce the WINNER:
Congratulations to: Sheen Wheels with your comment "Bags I."
A representative from Outdoor Research will be in contact with you shortly to arrange your prize.
Many thanks to everybody who commented and better luck next time.
We've teamed up with our friends over the pond at Outdoor Research to help you get ready for bikepacking season. We're giving one lucky person the chance to bag themselves a £225 bivy; a Helium Bivy, to be exact. All you have to do is comment below, after checking the T&Cs, of course, and we'll pick one person at random next week.
- Discover the world of bikepacking with Komoot
- Finley explores Rwanda on an epic bikepacking tour
- Everything you need to know about gravel and adventure bikes
Unfold your night under the stars, in the forestry wilds or the wild fjords of adventure with the Helium Bivy. This bivy is constructed with lightweight adventures in mind using a blend of super-tech fabrics and features such as Pertex® Shield, 30D Ripstop and polyester meshing.
Thanks to fully taped seams and Pertex technology, the Helium Bivy isn't just waterproof but also breathable. Weighing just 448g with a pole (and 400g without a pole), the bivy can pack down within its Stuff Sack to just 12.25" x 3.5", making it ideal for transporting on your bike. When unfolded, the bivy rolls out a length of 82", with a top width of 26" and a bottom width of 19".
Other features of the Helium Bivy to make your bikepacking experiences even more comfortable include No-See-Um mesh, reflective details, a clamshell opening, two internal fly fasteners, two stake loops, one guy line loop and a single-pole system.
So there you have it! As long as you keep it reasonably clean and friendly, comment below to 'enter'; you can even tell us why you want this prize, although it won't make a blind bit of difference because we'll be picking the winners at random!
Oh, and if you don't have an off.road.cc account already, it's as simple as verifying your email address and a password, waiting for an admin to accept (we're usually pretty quick), and you're away.
The competition is open to the UK only, and entries close on April 11th, 2022.
Good luck!
