Alpkit Kangri 2012

£300.00

Alpkit has become known for producing excellent kit at excellent prices thanks to its business model of producing a small, select range of products that are then supplied direct to the customer via the Alpkit website. This can be frustrating if you choose to buy gear at the wrong time of year, just as stock runs out – or if ...

Easton Kilo 2011

£450.00

When I mentioned to a mate that I had a tent weighing less than a kilogram, the reply I got was: “So what? My tent weighs under 700g!” But when I added, “Ah, but this is not a one-person tent, this is a two-person tent…” his jaw dropped.Apart from using lightweight gear, the best way to save weight when backpacking ...

Terra Nova Laser Photon 1 2011

£360.00

The Terra Nova Laser Photon 1 is the latest version of a classic lightweight one-person tent design that first appeared as the Laserlite. The single-pole design cuts everything down to the very minimum, but the use of the lightest fabrics and components means that the tent still manages to be fully featured. It pitches as one and goes up quickly. ...

Terra Nova Solar Elite 2010

£350.00

This has become an annual event. Another year, another lighter Terra Nova tent. At a quoted weight of 865g, Terra Nova says the Solar Elite has ‘the lightest pack weight of any self-supporting tent’. Terra Nova makes lighter tents and shelters than this, but it is the phrase ‘self-supporting’ that makes the difference here. This means either the inner or ...

Vaude Power Lizard UL 2010

£350.00

Is light always right? It’s easy to make a tent lighter after all. Just make it smaller, ditch the porch and use a single layer of material rather than an inner and an outer. But how light can a tent be if it offers two-person space, a double wall and retains a porch? According to Vaude, the Power Lizard holds ...

Terra Nova Photon tent (2008)

£300.00

ReviewOfficially the Guinness World Record holder for the lightest tent commercially available, the Photon is 110g lighter than the previous record holder (the Terra Nova Laser Competition), and it tipped the Trail scales at 766g. It pitches outer-first too, making it ideal for putting up or striking (taking down) in the rain. The pegs weigh 1g each, and these tiny ...

Terra Nova Voyager Superlite

£330.00

This 2-person sub-2kg tent is a lightened version of the Voyager, a classic 3-pole geodesic that defines its class. By lightening the fabrics to those used in the brand’s Laser range, Terra Nova has reduced the weight by 400g (18 per cent). The beauty of the tent is that you still get an inner and outer, a three-pole geodesic design ...

Marmot Halo 4P

£400.00

This 4-person family tent pitched inner-first with poles slipping easily through mesh sleeves around the inner. The flysheet is then draped over the top and clipped in place with ladder lock webbing adjusters. This is very easy and fast to pitch, and creates a very stable structure. I particularly like the layout of having a porch and entrance at each ...

Terra Nova Voyager

£300.00

This two-person tent from Terra Nova is easy to pitch, stable, even in very poor weather, and light enough for one person to carry, let alone two. The interior is quite cosy, especially at the foot end, but the front porch is a useful size and there’s a small storage space at the rear, too. Packed weight: 2.2kg Dimensions: 14x52cm ...
