Terra Nova Tent Sets New World Record - Available at Gear Zone

May 19, 2011 - PRLog -- Terra Nova has once again proven themselves masters at the ultra-lightweight tent, just as their classic Quasar is still the benchmark in robust mountaineering and expedition tents, by beating their own Guinness World Record for the fourth time.  The Terra Nova Laser Ultra 1 has now officially become the 'Lightest Tent Commercially Available', smashing an extra 26% off the previous record holder, the Terra Nova Laser Photon.  

The Laser Ultra 1 weighs just under 600g and is ideal for short duration ultra events such as mountain marathons or endurance races.  The Laser Ultra 1 also won a Gold European IF Design Award at launch during the July 2010 Friedrichshafen Outdoor Show.

When Terra Nova released the original award-winning Laser Lite over 7 years ago, people were sceptical as to whether such a design could really prove itself.  Over the years constant innovation have added many more models to the range, and all prove popular with backpackers or adventurers who need to keep the weight to a minimum.  

Gear Zone have been proud stockists of Terra Nova since 2002, and carry the full in stock range on their website at http://www.gear-zone.co.uk/terra-nova-bid88.html  In keeping with Gear Zone's ethos of quality brands at excellent prices, Terra Nova tents are all competitively discounted, and all include free postage and packaging.  

The Laser Ultra 1 is now available http://www.gear-zone.co.uk/terra-nova-laser-ultra-1-pid81...  and bridges the gap between tents and bivi bags, so no longer does comfort or storage space have to be sacrificed for weight.
