Trail Magazines Graham Thompson gives the Terra Nova Laser Photon its first magazine review with storms and high winds coinciding with its arrival at the Trail offices. Terra Nova’s claimed maximum weight of 790g was shown to be an understatement as the Trail scales weighed the complete, packed tent at 766g.

In windy conditions and a difficult pitch Graham rated the Laser Photon as an ‘ideal mountain marathon tent or a superlite tent for a night or two’. ‘The Terra Nova Laser Photon pushes the boundaries of what’s acceptable for camping. But for lightweight fanatics hurtling towards the finish line, this tent could make the difference between wining and losing’.
