Terra Nova Laser Compact 2 With Foot Print

The Laser Compact 2 With Foot Print is Terra Nova’s lightweight, single-person backpacking tent designed for solo campers, cyclists, and travelers who value pack efficiency and proven reliability. Updated for 2023 with a PFC-free breathable inner and a factory silicone-sealed main seam, it offers quick pitching and solid weather protection in a compact footprint.

• Ultra-lightweight construction: weighs 1.28 kg maximum and 940 g minimum, with a compact pack size of 30 cm x 14 cm for easy stowage.
• Three-season protection: 20D ripstop flysheet (Si2) rated to 3000 mm, 20D breathable inner, and 30D Groundsheet Waterbloc with 7000 mm PU coating for reliable weather resistance.
• Two doors and one porch: convenient entry from either side and a single porch for gear storage or dry transition space.
• Attached flysheet and inner: quick, one-person pitching with the fabrics already connected, plus a trekking-pole canopy loop for extra shade or shelter when needed.
• Condensation control: two end vents help reduce interior moisture and improve airflow on warmer nights.
• Durable hardware: 8.7 mm DAC NFL poles, Dyneema reflective guylines, and Terra Firma Mini Pegs at 9 g each for robust anchoring.
• Groundsheet and protection: 30D nylon ripstop groundsheet with PU coating provides dependable water resistance and is compatible with a footprint/groundsheet protector for added longevity.
• Lightweight packing options: FastPack option allows you to use the flysheet with a groundsheet protector for an even lighter shelter when full setup isn’t required.
• Proven legacy: inherits Terra Nova’s Laser design heritage, widely adopted since 2004 for ultralight backpacking and cycle touring.

The Laser Compact 2 is ideal for solo adventures where space is at a premium but comfort and reliability are non-negotiable. Its compact 30 cm pack size fits neatly inside most backpacks or cycling bags, while the two doors provide flexible access and gear management at camp. The breathable, PFC-free inner and silicone-sealed main seam deliver practical weather protection without unnecessary bulk. Two end vents mitigate condensation for quieter nights, and the trekking pole canopy loop adds versatility for sheltering workspaces or cooking areas in light rain. If you want to trim weight further, the FastPack setup uses the flysheet and groundsheet protector to create an even lighter shelter—great for fast-moving trips, bikepacking legs, or spring-to-autumn adventures where every gram counts.
