Halny Elite 1 Named Best in Test by The Great Outdoors

We’re thrilled to announce that the Wild Country Halny Elite 1 has been awarded Best in Test by The Great Outdoors magazine.

Built for solo adventures where low weight, fast pitching, and reliability matter most, the Halny Elite 1 stood out in a competitive field of one-person tents, earning top marks for its performance, innovation, and value.

“A well-designed tent for backpackers and bikepackers looking to cut down weight without sacrificing protection. It’s quick and easy to pitch, has decent interior space, and feels stable in strong winds.”

Designed for solo explorers

Taking inspiration from the Terra Nova Laser range, with a minimum weight of 1.22kg and a compact pack size of just 34x18cm, the Halny Elite 1 is ideal for lightweight backpacking and bikepacking adventures. The semi-freestanding design is quick to set up in all conditions, and the recycled, PFC-free flysheet, inner and groundsheet fabric mean it’s a tent that’s both practical and planet-friendly.

Why the reviewer loved it:

• Ultra-compact and lightweight
• Recycled and PFC-free materials
• Easy, stable pitch
• Plenty of ventilation options
• Extra guyline and peg supplied to support the trekking-pole compatible door awning
• Great headroom and livability for a solo tent
• Built for changeable UK weather

Award-winning design from the Peak District

This is the third major recognition for the Elite range this year, following the Helm Elite 2’s finalist place in the 2025 Outdoor Industry Awards.
