Terra Nova Solar Photon 2 Backpacking Tent, 3 Season

Why Choose the Solar Photon 2 Backpacking Tent?

Built for backpackers, adventure racers, and wild campers who count every gram, the Solar Photon 2 Backpacking Tent delivers a rare blend of ultralight weight, dependable weather protection, and eco-conscious materials. With a minimum weight of just 855 g and a compact 37 × 14 cm pack size, it is easy to carry yet impressively capable when conditions deteriorate.

At the heart of its stability is AiroCorner™ technology — a unique, reinforced structural feature at each tent corner that improves stability, durability, and waterproofing. This works with the tough Triplex™ groundsheet and DAC NFL Green Anodised poles to maintain shape and resist pressure on uneven, exposed pitches. Ventilation is managed by fly hoods at both ends and a full mesh inner door to reduce condensation during humid or still nights.

The flysheet and inner use PFC-free, recycled, solution-dyed fabrics for reduced environmental impact with improved UV resistance. Setup is quick and versatile, and compatibility with FASTPACK and PitchLite systems offers flexible configurations to prioritise weight or protection. Due to the lightweight fabrics, seams are not factory sealed in the conventional way; they are positioned and stitched to minimise water ingress, and optional seam sealing can be applied for full waterproof confidence.

Confidence comes as standard with an industry-leading Lifetime warranty on materials and craftsmanship and a 2-year pole replacement policy, including accidental damage.
