Review

The Terra Nova Voyager XL is a new tent for 2009, and represents something we often get asked for here - a Voyager with an extended porch. Not satisfied with simply increasing the porch space, we thought that the inner tent could also be made bigger without any huge effect on the weight or stability. The result is a lightweight (2.43kg) and spacious two person tent with a large porch as well as the inherent stability of the semi-geodesic Voyager shape.

All of which came in very handy for Tim Barnes at www.adventure-cycling-guide.co.uk when he and his partner spent two weeks touring in the north of Scotland, with predictably wet weather.

"The XL’s waterproofing got a thorough testing. Sitting out torrential, gale-driven rainstorms I had nothing better to do than look for leaks, but I never found any evidence of water getting through the flysheet. And, when we were dumb enough to pitch the tent in a dip that turned into a puddle overnight, there was no seepage through the bath tub ground sheet. Neither did we have any problems with condensation."
