Description

All-Season Performance. Lightweight and Versatile.

New for SS25, the Laser Lite AS is a lightweight yet highly durable tent designed for solo adventurers or two-person expeditions. Offering enhanced stability and protection for all-season use. Updated with walking pole compatibility further enhances its adaptability.

The Laser Lite AS is designed for adventurers who need a tent that is lightweight yet strong enough to handle changing conditions. Engineered for solo use or as a snug two-person shelter, it strikes an ideal balance between weight, durability, and protection, making it well-suited for long-distance treks, mountain adventures, and endurance challenges where pack weight is critical. For 2025, the Laser Lite AS introduces a TriPlex™ flysheet, providing increased durability and weather resistance in challenging environments. Constructed using recycled, solution-dyed, and PFC-free fabrics, this tent reinforces Terra Nova’s commitment to sustainability while maintaining high performance. The introduction of Airo Corner technology further enhances groundsheet flexibility and longevity whilst offering more reliable waterproofing where needed. Further design improvements include an adjustable connected flysheet and inner with line lock corners, making setup quicker and ensuring a secure pitch. The HIGH PRESSURE SILICONE Si/Si groundsheet enhances strength while reducing weight, offering reliable protection without unnecessary bulk. Additional refinements include upgraded pole sleeves, vent covers, and a zip flap, all now constructed using flysheet fabric to improve durability and weight efficiency. With an inner length of 215cm and a width of 110cm at its widest point, the Laser Lite AS provides a comfortable space for solo users and a compact but functional setup for two. The single side-entry door allows for easy access, while the 38cm porch provides storage for gear and equipment. Walking pole compatibility adds another level of versatility, enabling additional structural reinforcement when conditions demand it. Packing down to just 33cm x 19cm, the Laser Lite AS is an ideal choice for fast-moving adventurers who require a compact, efficient, and high-performing shelter for demanding trips.

Technology

	Durable. Sustainable. Expedition-Ready. TriPlex™ is Terra Nova's most advanced tent fabric - developed to offer high-performance protection while reducing environmental impact. TriPlex™ is a triple ripstop polyester fabric made from: Recycled fibres - using post-consumer plastic bottles Solution-dyed yarns - reducing water, energy and chemical use PFC-free coatings - free from harmful fluorocarbons The result is a rugged, weatherproof fabric that's built for serious adventures - and better for the planet. Why We Use It? Triple Ripstop Strength Woven for increased tear resistance and long-term durability in exposed terrain. Sustainable Construction From yarn to coating, every layer is designed to minimise waste, water use and emissions. Waterproof Performance A High-Pressure Silicone Coating (HPS Si/Si) is applied to both sides of the fabric - for lightweight waterproofing that lasts, with no need for toxic WR treatments.
	Solution Dyed Fabrics What Is Solution Dyeing? Solution dyeing is a process where pigments are added directly to the polymer solution before the yarn is even formed. Unlike traditional dyeing (which soaks finished fabric in dye baths), solution dyeing locks in colour at the fibre level. Why It's Better for the Planet 80-90% less water used No rinsing or dye baths needed Less energy consumption No repeated heating or dyeing cycles Fewer chemicals No dyes, mordants, or effluents to manage Performance Benefits Fade Resistance Colour is embedded in the fibre, meaning it won't wash out or fade under UV light Improved Durability Fabrics are often stronger and more abrasion-resistant Cleaner Supply Chain Less wastewater, fewer emissions, and more consistent results
	Terra Nova® Reflex Poles Our own expedition-grade pole system - built for extreme conditions. Designed and specified in-house, Reflex poles are developed to match the rigours of high mountain use and long-term reliability. Material: 7001 T6 heat-treated aluminium Tailored Design: Pole diameter and pre-bent sections are tuned per tent model Field-Repairable: Removable pole feet and hard-wearing Dura Cord shock cord Tested to Outperform: Independent testing shows Reflex poles withstand extreme stress better than standard options Used in expedition tents and models facing high wind, snow load or temperature fluctuation.
	Trekking Pole Compatible Versatility for minimalist, fast-and-light adventures. Some of our shelters are designed to be pitched using standard trekking poles, removing the need for dedicated tent poles and reducing pack weight. Benefits: Simplified packing Fewer components to carry or lose Lighter overall load Ideal for thru-hikers, fastpackers, and ultralight travellers Dual-use gear Trekking poles double as structural support Look for this feature on select tarp tents, bivvies, and minimalist shelters across our range.
	AiroCorner Reinforced corner stability for harsh conditions AiroCorner is a unique Terra Nova innovation designed to improve stability and anchoring at the base of the tent. Located where the tent poles meet the ground, these reinforced corner sections: Spreads tension more evenly Distributes force across the fabric and pole tips for increased stability. Reduces stress on pole ends Minimises material fatigue and prolongs pole lifespan. Improves resistance to twisting in high winds Helps maintain structure in unpredictable weather. "It's a small detail that delivers serious strength where it matters most." You'll find AiroCorner technology on selected all-season and expedition-ready models.
	PFC-Free Treatments What Are PFCs? PFCs (perfluorinated compounds) are a group of man-made chemicals used to create water, oil, and stain-resistant finishes - especially in outdoor gear. While highly effective, they persist in the environment and are slow to break down. Why PFCs Are Common in Outdoor Gear Traditionally, PFC-based treatments have been used to create durable water repellent (DWR) finishes, helping water bead and roll off clothing and tents. They extend product life and improve performance in wet conditions - but at a cost. Environmental & Health Concerns Persistent in nature: PFCs don't degrade easily, and trace amounts are now found in water, soil, and wildlife worldwide. Bioaccumulative: Some PFCs build up in human and animal tissue, raising long-term health questions. Banned in parts of Europe: Regulations are tightening, with many outdoor brands phasing out long-chain PFCs (like C8 compounds). Does PFC-Free Mean Less Performance? No. Our in-house and third-party testing ensures all waterproof garments and tent flysheets meet rigorous hydrostatic head and repellency standards - with or without PFCs.
	Recycled Materials What Are Recycled Materials in Outdoor Gear? Recycled materials in our products primarily come from post-consumer waste - such as used plastic bottles - which are processed into high-quality polyester fibres. These are then spun into durable, lightweight fabrics used across a number of our items. Where We Use Recycled Materials Extremities Gloves & Hats - Many styles include 90%+ recycled fabric content, while still offering the same warmth, waterproofing, and wind resistance expected from our high-performance gear. Select Tents & Accessories - Where fabric performance allows, we incorporate recycled textiles or trims without compromising tear strength, weight, or weather resistance. Why It Matters Reduces Waste Diverts plastic waste from landfill and gives it a second life. Lowers Carbon Footprint Manufacturing recycled polyester can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 30% compared to virgin polyester. Supports Circular Design We're moving toward a gear ecosystem that minimises resource use and environmental impact - while still meeting the demands of serious adventurers.
