Terra Nova has unveiled what they claim to be the world’s lightest 2-person free-standing tent – the Solar Ultra 2.
At 772g, the Solar Ultra 2 is aimed at marathon events and short duration backpacking trips, thanks to the tent’s lightweight fabric and super strong bonded seems. The tent pitches inner first and you can reduce weight further with Terra Nova’s FastPack system – a method that allows you to use the footprint to cover the floor and locate the poles so that you can leave the inner at home.
Terra Nova Equipment spokesperson Carolyn Budding says, “We are always aiming to push the boundaries and innovate – so the world’s leading adventurers and racers know they can expect the ultimate solution from us. Our heritage is in mountain tents which are still a regular sight on Everest and at the Poles, but the new millennium saw demand and development shift to super lightweight tents.”
The Solar Ultra 2 is available across the UK at Cotswold Outdoors and worldwide where they stock Terra Nova with a suggested retail price of £1,200.
