Terra Nova Superlite Solar 2.2 Tent

This is THE tent that other tents want to be when they grow up! I used this tent in very windy conditions in the Lake district's Great Moss recently after the same winds flattened my Saunders Felltrek (I was gutted!). This tent just took the winds and rain with no worries and I truly believe that this tent is a 4 season. It has been used (however, not by me) in winter conditions. It is not a high altitude tent (unlike a TN Quasar?) but will easily cope with what the fickle UK weather can throw at it. The additon of an extra porch makes this tent undeniably the best in its class. Cooking inside the tent (though not advovcated) can be accomodated with comparative ease in either porch ensuring adequate ventilation firstly! The storage options are excellent and the fly can be opened in several ways to ensure complete protection from the elements. Erection of the tent is very fast and with enough pratice, it is possible to erect in full on rain without getting the inside sleeping area wet at all as there is a DWR layer applied to it. Two porches, two people, two doors, 2 Kg (or less!) This tent is in a word ... Perfection.

I have had this tent for 3 years now. I lived in it for 2 weeks on Mount Elgon (3000m on Kneyan / Ugandan border), in the French Alps, Texas and extensively in the UK. I have owned and use LOTS of tents, but this is my favorite. Its light, bomb-proof, warm and well-designed. The door-set-upis great - pitch it so you can see the view, and boy what a view you get. A lovely bit of kit. And its hand made in Derbyshire!
