Capacity: 2+ Person
Use: Mountaineering and Expedition
The Super Quasar tent from Terra Nova incorporates over two decades of experience in high-performance tent manufacturing, and is arguably the finest 2-3 person expedition tent available.
Unique pole geometry creates great internal volume, whilst retaining an excellent wind-shedding shape.
The flysheet, inner and groundsheet are made using 'High Tenacity Nylon 6.6', which is proven to give:
- better UV resistance than standard synthetic materials
- 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
Colour coded 7075 aluminium alloy poles provide quick, simple and very strong and effective pitching.
Fabric specifications:
- Watershed 2 Flysheet minimises weight whilst maintaining strength and a minimum hydrostatic head of 8000mm
- Low weight Waterbloc groundsheet is very tough for its weight, and has a minimum hydrostatic head of 10000mm
- Lightweight 7075 T9 aluminium alloy poles, colour coded for ease of pitching
Colours Available:
