The opinion of Aventure Nordique
The Helium V5 40 from Bergans of Norway is one of the brand's iconic models. This 40-liter model is now in its 5th incarnation. Materials have been chosen with care, and comfort is the order of the day with a weight of just under a kilo!
The fabric created by Bergans of Norway is a blend of nylon 66 and Dyneema fiber, making it light, durable and highly resistant. The Helium V5 40 features an adjustable back, a rigid frame, a generous hip belt and a chest belt. The hip belt is removable, and the bag flap can be attached to it to create a fanny pack!
The main compartment can be loaded from the top, or with a double-slider zipper that allows the bag to be opened diagonally across its entire height. Practical, too, for easy access to your belongings. On the outside, 2 mesh pockets can accommodate a water bottle. The removable flap, in lighter fabric, features a large pocket.
On the sides, four straps compress the bag if it's not completely full. On the front, two sewn-in straps can be used to hold small items using elastic, carabiners or straps.
