Terra Nova Voyager Superlite

£330.00

LFTO rating
Owners' rating

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 and a superb porch and front entrance with double zips for venting. The geodesic design is incredibly stable. The pegs are the wire skewer type which do not hurt your hands and they are made from titanium to keep the weight down. But the outer doors do not get external stormflaps and the zips are particularly small, so you will need to treat them with a little care. To save weight the poles are held in place with clips rather than sleeves. Also this is an inner-pitched-first design, so it’s not ideal for pitching in heavy rain.

Verdict Buy it if you want a superlight version of a proper backpacking tent with the space, stability and features that make camping comfortable.

Good size and weight, and takes just about everything thrown at it, heavy rain and high winds. I also like the idea of using two sets of poles to make it more rigid, the venting on it is good and there is enough room in the porch to store your kit. The only down side is that it is an inner first which trying to pitch in rain is a nightmare, so i carry a big car sponge now to soak all the water up.

I love it!! A cracking little tent which has performed really well in a variety of conditions, including wind and snow. It did flatten a bit in strong winds, as it could do with a couple more guy-lines, but it always bounced back up. The space is amazing considering the weight. plenty of room for two with reasonable storage in the porch. The volume also helps with keeping the condensation down, which can be a real problem with other smaller lightweights. All for under 2kg. Top marks all round.
