The latest incarnation of Terra Nova's multi-award winning Laser series is the Laser Photon Elite. It is the world's lightest double-wall tent with an incredible minimum weight of 660g and a packed weight of only 720g! The record-beating weight has been achieved through further development of Terra Nova's Superlite program, creating fabrics with the best strength to weight ratios possible as well as a totally new scandium alloy pole that is lighter and easier to use, even with the optional pole hood in

place. By reducing the height and re-distributing the space in the inner has allowed the company to shave off any extra unnecessary weight that can make all the difference to a race result, without altering the usable space in the inner tent.

This tent is smaller than the Laser Competition and is made from specially developed Superlite fabrics. For the solo user the Laser Photon Elite represents the pinnacle of the 'fast and light' philosophy!
