Ultralight backpacking and mountaineering equipment manufacturer Terra Nova Equipment recently won a Gold Outdoor Industry Award at the Outdoor show in Germany. The award was earned for their new Laser Ultra 1 tent, which weighs in at only one pound, one ounce.
According to the recent press release, the Laser Ultra 1 “is designed to be the lightest one-person, double-walled tent in the world. The design of this ultra-light tent is based on the use of a new, ultra-light but very hardwearing material they call Ultra. Despite its light weight, this tent is still able to offer lots of room, incredibly small packed dimensions as well as several different ventilation options. The traditional ‘Laser’ design stands up to even the worst weather and is the perfect choice for adventure racing and ultra-light backpacking.”
Hearing this news, we’ll be sure to by the Terra Nova booth at OR next week to see this ultralight tent in person. (Add this to the growing list of ultralight product debuts this summer!)
