Terra Nova Laser Competition 1 Tent
From the archive: originally posted on ProCamping in November 2012. Terra Nova have continued to refine the Laser range since, so check current specs before buying, but the design principles below still hold.
The Terra Nova Laser Competition Tent is a classic 1-person tent design. The fly and inner pitch together, so it's easy to put up in all weathers in just 7 minutes. This is a superlight tent — the standard packed weight is just 0.93kg, but the tent is also compatible with the Terra Nova FASTPACK system, which gives it a fastpack weight of just 0.58kg.
This is a design Terra Nova have refined over time — in the version we covered there were additional guy points for stability, extra ventilation points, and it packs smaller than earlier versions.
The Terra Nova Laser Competition Tent has won several awards, including:
- Best in Test — Adventure Travel Magazine
- Best in Test — Trail Magazine
- Outdoor Silver Industry Award 2006
