The Quasar is the definative 2 person mountain tent that's as popular now as it was 30 years ago when it revolutionised tent design. The problem is it's a tad heavy (4.3 kg) to carry for any prolonged period. It's younger brother the Ultra Quasar (3.12 kg) was born out of our desire to make the lightest possible mountain tents, but even this is on the heavy side for the new school of lightweight backpackers. Step forward the latest addition to the Quasar Family - The Superlite Quasar - which weighs a paltry 2.5 kg and brings the Quasar design into the realm of the backpacker, or anyone adventuring below the tree-line.

TGO Magazine's John Manning had the first look at the Superlite Quasar, and liked the lightweight simplicity combined with the proven design heritage - "the phenomenal weight difference in the Superlite Quasar makes this a terrific two-person backpacking tent... ....first appearances suggest that this is likely to be a superb backpacking tent for all but the worst weather".
