The Highlander Blackthorn 1 Gen2 Backpacking Tent is a lightweight, compact shelter designed specifically for solo campers, backpackers and wild camping enthusiasts. Its streamlined low-profile design improves stability in exposed conditions while keeping overall weight to just 1.71kg, making it an excellent choice for hiking, bikepacking, trekking and minimalist camping adventures.
Constructed from durable 190T polyester, the Blackthorn 1 Gen2 features a 2000mm hydrostatic head flysheet and a 3000mm waterproof groundsheet, providing dependable protection from wet weather. Fully taped seams further enhance waterproof performance, while the sewn-in groundsheet helps keep moisture, draughts and insects outside where they belong.
Designed for practicality, the tent incorporates an integrated bug net, allowing excellent ventilation while preventing insects from entering your sleeping space. The secure eyelet and buckle pole attachment system ensures a stable pitch, while the internal hanging line provides a convenient place to dry clothing or organise small items inside the tent.
Despite its generous sleeping length, the Blackthorn 1 Gen2 packs down to an incredibly compact 29 × 14cm, making it easy to carry inside or attached to a rucksack. Supplied with a heavy-duty stuff sack, it's ideal for anyone looking for reliable shelter without unnecessary weight or bulk. Whether you're tackling long-distance walking routes, overnight bikepacking trips or remote wild camps, the Highlander Blackthorn 1 Gen2 is built to perform.
