Complete the kit

The Lumen is an ultra-lightweight camping chair that weighs in at an impressive 648g / 1.42lbs pack weight. We’ve engineered the Lumen to not only be lightweight, but also extremely durable by using our nylon / UHMWPE (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethene) composite ripstop fabric and 7001 aluminium alloy poles with shock cords.

Increase the longevity of your Terra Nova or Wild Country tent with our Tent Care Kit, featuring a performance proofer, fabric cleaner, tear-aid fix patch and a non-scratch sponge. By reproofing & cleaning your fabric, your shelter’s lifespan is increased even when exposed to high levels of dirt, moisture, wear & tear, and UV. Help your tent and gear last longer & continue performing at the level you’d expect from a Terra Nova or Wild Country shelter.

Silver emergency tarp pitched as a low shelter using two adjustable trekking poles and guylines, covering a purple mummy-style sleeping bag beneath.

The Tarp Ultra 1 is our lightest-weight tarp, constructed from Ultra fabric and weighing just 86g - so light you’ll barely notice it in your pack.

Description

Engineered for those who push the limits of weight-saving and performance. Designed for ultra-distance backpacking, endurance racing, and elite fast-packing, this tent offers a combination of minimal weight, durability, and weather protection that is unmatched in its category. As an updated version of the Laser Ultra 1, a Guinness World Record holder for the world’s lightest tent, this model continues to set the standard for elite ultralight shelters.

Fully recycled, PFC-free groundsheet and inner fabric, reinforcing Terra Nova’s commitment to sustainability without compromising on weight or durability. The tent retains its Ultra DCF flysheet, a cutting-edge Dyneema® based material that provides exceptional strength at an ultra-low weight, ensuring it can withstand exposure to harsh conditions while remaining incredibly compact.

Designed and manufactured in the UK, the Laser Pulse Ultra 1 is built for those who demand the absolute best in lightweight performance. The 8.7mm DAC NFL main pole and 8mm TN Reflex alloy end pole provide a solid structure without unnecessary bulk, keeping the shelter stable even in challenging environments. Despite its minimalist weight, the tent maintains a maximum height of 85cm, allowing for a comfortable seated position, while the 20cm porch provides space for essential gear storage.

With a packed size of just 30cm x 9cm, the Laser Pulse Ultra 1 is barely noticeable in an ultra-light setup, making it an essential choice for those who count every gram.

Guarantee

Lifetime Guarantee

Loading... is covered by a lifetime guarantee offering long‑term reassurance to the original owner for the usable life of the product. This refers to the period during which the item can reasonably deliver the performance it was designed for - something that naturally varies depending on how it is used, the conditions it is exposed to and the care it receives. A product used frequently in demanding environments will naturally have a shorter lifespan than one used occasionally and well maintained. For this reason, we assess each case individually rather than applying a fixed timeframe. While this guarantee covers all Terra Nova products, tent and bivi poles are excluded, as they are protected under our dedicated No‑Quibble Alloy Pole Guarantee

Two-Year Pole Guarantee

Every alloy pole supplied with Terra Nova and Wild Country tents or bivis is covered by our No‑Quibble Pole Guarantee. For two years from the date of purchase, we will replace any damaged pole - regardless of the cause, including unforeseen mishaps or accidental damage. This straightforward, hassle‑free policy ensures you can rely on your equipment with confidence, knowing that any tent or bivi pole issue will be resolved quickly so your adventures can continue uninterrupted.
