Ultralight, All-Season Tents. Trusted by Mountaineers, Loved by Wild Campers.

With a heritage rooted in expedition-grade mountain tents, Terra Nova has been trusted by explorers for over 40 years. From the legendary Quasar to the record-breaking Laser Ultra 1, our reputation for innovation is built on testing gear in the world’s harshest environments.

Today, Terra Nova leads the way in ultralight tent design — developing award-winning 4-season tents, tarps and shelters using cutting-edge fabric technologies. Whether you’re pushing for a summit or fastpacking a national trail, our gear is engineered to go further, weigh less, and perform when it matters most.

Ultralight Without Compromise

We pioneered the first sub-1kg tent. Today, our Laser and Starlite ranges push the boundaries of what’s possible in lightweight design — without giving up on protection, durability or comfort.
