The ultra-lightweight favorite from Bergans celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2021. The Helium V5 is the latest generation of a family of backpacks that has already traveled around the world (including all three poles). These backpacks are appreciated by explorers on expeditions as well as ordinary hikers alike. For the fifth generation of Helium backpacks, we pulled out all the stops and developed our own fabric from high-quality Ripstop Nylon 66 and Black Dyneema®. This fabric is characterized by incredible strength and durability. Comfort is not compromised, even though the backpack is ultra-lightweight. A combination of adjustable back length, straps with triple-density foam, and a movable hip belt ensure a comfortable carrying experience. Compared to backpacks of the same size and comfort, this one scores very well in terms of weight. In addition, the Helium V5 40 is designed to be slimmed down and converted into a simpler and much lighter backpack. If you need less luggage, simply remove the hip belt and lid and combine them to form a hip bag. Clever and simple! Another difference from previous models is the diagonal full-length zipper, which gives you super easy access to your luggage. Apart from that, you can still rely on the versatile and extremely functional outdoor backpack that it has always been throughout its 20-year success story.
