Terra Nova says:
The Solar Photon 2 is one of the lightest two-person self-supporting tents available. Designed with stability in mind, with front and rear fly hoods for great ventilation, the tent is ideal for shorter trips where low weight is paramount.

- Reviewed by Basecamp Gear
Features
- Uses 10 denier nylon ripstop fabric for the flysheet to create a stable, lightweight tent
- Featuring front and rear fly hoods for great ventilation
- The stable shape has been designed for use in poor weather
- Quick and easy pitch to save time
- FastPack compatible – use with the flysheet and groundsheet protector for an even lighter shelter
- 1g titanium pegs to keep the weight down
Note: Due to the super-light nature of the material used in the construction of the tent, Terra Nova are unable to factory seal the seams in a conventional method. However, they are positioned and sewn in a way that minimises water penetration. It’s possible to add further protection yourself, with a seam sealer, to fully waterproof the tent.
