Terra Nova Voyager 2 Person Tent

great tent (I have used 2 of them) used for 100s (actually as I work doing camping) of days in Scottish Highland.

I have had this tent the terra nova voyager for just under a year now mostly took out out in fair weather I decided to camp on top of Pen-y-fan 11/04/15 the wind condition's were moderate to strong at the time's but with this being rated a 4 season tent I was confident it would withstand the weather being thrown at it , but boy was I wrong the arch pole over the door kept being blown back onto the tent and me inside all night despite being pitched correctly the result in the morning was a broken pole and where the red pole sit's over the two blue horizontal poles it had rubbed holes in both pole sleeves and the stitching inside was tearing through the inner tent where the pole sleeves attach, now I cannot insert the poles through the sleeves without them coming through the holes . I contacted terra nova about this they were useless after many emails and pictures of the damage were sent I had to send it off to them, 2 weeks for them to look at it and after they make a dissension another 2-3 weeks for them to repair it at my expense when it is clearly a design fault as there is no reinforcement protection where the poles overlap on the front of the tent but there is protection on the rear. Truly disappointed in there poor customer service I expected more form a British company I have lost faith in there product's and will buy a Hilleberg for a better experience .

Owned my Voyager over 10 years and used for lightweight camping with my motor bikes and backpacking abroad using public transport. has stood up to horizontal deluge in Ireland and strong blustery winds in Yorkshire. Doesn't leak. it is a compromise between tunnel and geodesic so does flex in strong winds. extremely easy to pitch quickly and packs relatively small. needs a large rucksack for backpacking. not an ultra lightweight but a substantial, reliable lightweight tent for one person plus kit.

I've had a Voyager since 1997. I've used desert conditions in Utah to torrential rain in Derbyshire and it's NEVER let me down.Calling it a 2 man is pushing it a little, but it's a tough little tent and I can't recommend it more highly.Still going strong after 17 years. How often can you say that about anything you buy these days?

Admittedly I've not used this tent in gale conditions yet, but have used it extensively over the last 5 years in the Lakes, Dartmoor, Brecon Beacons and on rainforest trips to Vanuatu and its still going strong.It is very light and packs very small - so it suitable for solo backpacking. While there are certainly lighter tents for solo-backpackers out there, having extra space inside and a porch area for wet gear makes the camping experience always a pleasant one whatever the weather. For two-person expeditions, it is quite tight but still manageable.Inside there are four net pockets for belongings so easy to stay organised. The inside door has two layers so you can sleep with just the netting on warm nights without midges invading or zip up both layers for a more cosy night. The floor is quite thin material and I would imagine might leak in very wet conditions or be easily punctured by sharp rocks or sticks. Rather than take any chances, I always carry a small plastic tarpaulin to fit under the tent before pitching so I have never had any problems.Pitching is very easy (inner tent first) as the sleeves for the poles are extra wide. The poles are colour coded too so no getting the wrong pole in the wrong slot there. The outer tent drapes over the inner, then clips onto the poles - again very easy. The porch can then be pegged out. I can pitch this tent on my own in 2-3 minutes if I'm in a hurry. The materials are all very lightweight and dry out very easily if the rain stops for a few minutes too so no carrying 1kg of water in the pack due to waterlogged tent. On a very dry warm night, you could sleep with just the inner tent, but I've never done that yet due to the weather.It's not necessarily the most beautiful tent you will see in the hills and mountains, but it does the job well and I have been delighted with it.

I love me a terra nova. I've used these tents since I was 14 years old, I trust their quality in almost any terrain. The Voyager is easy to handle and put up, even in terrible weather. Light enough for one person to carry, ample room for two so flexible usage. Would happily recommend for any non-marathon hiker looking for a solid, versatile tent.
