Terra Nova earns new Guinness Book of Records entry
18/05/2011
Terra Nova won its first entry into the Guinness World Record for the lightest commercially available tent in 2004, at that time for the Terra Nova Laserlite, a one-person tent weighing just over one kilo. The company has since held the record four times.
The Laser Ultra 1 has been designed for short-duration ultra events. Although its style follows that of the popular Laser tent range developed by Terra Nova, the most striking difference is the colour; the silver translucent Ultra fabric used for the flysheet is lightweight but strong.
On hearing confirmation of the news, Terra Nova managing director, Andy Utting, said: "It is great to see our investment in new technologies paying off. When we launched the Laserlite, people were sceptical of the robustness of such lightweight tents. Seven years later, a single-person tent has to be less than one kilo to be considered light."
