Quasar

Legendary Strength. Four-Season Expedition Performance.

The Quasar has earned its reputation as one of the most dependable four-season expedition tents in the world, trusted by mountaineers and extreme-weather adventurers for over four decades. Its fully geodesic structure delivers exceptional stability, ensuring the tent remains secure in high winds, deep snow, and unpredictable winter conditions. The dual-door design with front and rear porches allows for flexible access and ample storage, making it an ideal choice for two-person teams tackling extreme environments. The Quasar is completely PFC-free, aligning with Terra Nova’s commitment to sustainable performance. The recycled inner and groundsheet fabrics further enhance its eco-friendly credentials, without compromising on durability. The flysheet is made from a high-performance 20D Triple Ripstop with a 5,000mm hydrostatic head, while the 70D PU-coated recycled groundsheet provides an impressive 10,000mm hydrostatic head, ensuring full waterproof protection in the harshest conditions. The 9.5mm TN Reflex poles offer a superior strength-to-weight ratio, enhancing the tent’s ability to withstand heavy snow loads and extreme weather. With an inner length of 210cm and a width of 136cm, the Quasar provides a comfortable and secure space for two people, with a generous headroom of 105cm. The 72cm porches at both ends ensure that gear storage and cooking arrangements remain practical, even in extreme conditions. With a packed size of just 47cm x 18cm, the Quasar remains compact enough for demanding expeditions while providing the robustness required for remote, high-altitude, or arctic adventures.
