The modern-day classic, single person tent just got lighter.
Heralded as the lightest two-skin tent in the world at a mere 860 grams, the Terra Nova Laser Cometition 1 is unbeatable for mountain marathons and ultralight backpacking.
The multiple award-winner of 'Best in Test' accolades, the Laser Competition 1 uses the new 8.55mm DAC Featherlight pole, approximately 10% lighter than the existing Featherlight.
Updated with a smaller pack size and improved ventilation, the Laser is compatible with the Terra Nova FASTPACK system, which allows those who normally want to trim weight to the minimum to add the separate flysheet and groundsheet when necessary.
The flysheet is constructed from Terra Nova's new Watershed SL fabric. This innovative mix of silicone coatings and high tenacity nylon substrate helps give its incredible space-to-weight ratio.
The number of seams have also been reduced to a minimum to improve waterproofing and weight-saving. The Laser features Terra Nova's innovative Weather Shield System over the centre seam. The groundsheet fabric is Waterbloc SL - lightweight polyurethane coated nylon.
Guaranteed waterproof when using optional waterproof hood.
Colours Available:
Fabrics:
- Watershed SL flysheet fabric, with a minimum Hydrostatic Head of 6000mm

>>better resistance to flex fatigue
>>better tear and abrasion-resistance (up to 500% better than polyester)
>>better bonding to waterproof coatings
>>better strength to weight ratio
- DAC Featherlite poles provide quick, simple and very strong and effective pitching.
