Best little tent
I purchased my Laser lite in 2004 for my microlight flying trips. Weight is all important and at about 1kg this couldn’t be beaten at the time. I have used it for a solid week as well as for occasional 1 or 2 night trips each year, packing it up and pitching each day. It is surprisingly robust for such a light tent, but did return to Terra-Nova for a small repair a few years ago, which was carried out very neatly. It is ideal for one person, and I can sit upright in it, but when transitioning from sitting to lying I find that my head caresses the roof. Not a problem for a shorter person. It is really easy and quick to erect, keeps out even heavy rain and, with the gauze door and end vents it keeps out the Scottish midges too. I find that condensation develops overnight, so I hook up the two ends of the fly on the short tent poles at the ends to increase ventilation which resolves this. There is room inside for one person to sleep plus enough space for clothes, shoes and a small hold-all within the tent. I don’t find the external space very useful, but it would be somewhere to stash muddy walking boots overnight, for example.
Lightweight, compact, easy to erect and pack away, . It’s a great little tent.
