The Terra Nova Laser Compact 1 is the small pack size version of the classic single person tent, the Laser Competition 1, winner of multiple Best In Test awards. With all of the classic features and benefits partnered with a compact pack size of just 30cm length.
The Laser Compact 1 is designed for backpackers, travellers and cyclists looking for tried and tested kit with a good balance of durability and very low weight. This tent is suitable for medium duration backpacking trips, mountain marathons and cycle touring and is rated for 3 season use, so perfect for spring to autumn weather conditions. Its low-profile design and shape make it ideal for both wild camping as well as campsite use. Although it is a 1-person tent for overnight stays it could also be used as snug accommodation for 2.
The compact pack size offering a pack length of only 30cm allows for optimal positioning within your backpack. This quality makes this piece of kit perfect for bike packing, cycle touring and adventure racing. The Laser Compact 1 is very lightweight. With 20 denier flysheet fabric, the flysheet and inner come attached, so the tent can be pitched quickly and easily as one. This tent is best suited to ground conditions where pegging out is a possibility. The low-profile design ensures a stable structure along with Dyneema reflective guylines, which are three times stronger than standard guyrope to add extra support.
The Laser Compact 1 tent uses Terra Nova Watershed groundsheet and flysheet fabrics. The silicone coated flysheet fabric cannot be seam sealed in a conventional way, due to this the tent has been technically designed to prevent water penetration into the inner. The end flysheet seams have been positioned so they are not over the inner and a removable waterproof pole cover is supplied with the tent to ensure the main seam is fully waterproof. This also adds stability in poor weather and protects the zip. The groundsheet is seam sealed for waterproof protection.
