Terra Nova Solar Ultra 2 Tent - Green

The Terra Nova Solar Ultra 2 Tent is a specialist ultralight two-person shelter for mountain marathons, adventure racing and short backpacking trips. Made in the UK, it combines a Dyneema-based ULTRA DCF flysheet with factory-bonded seams and a free-standing structure.

Specialist materials for minimalist trips

The front-entry layout includes a porch for essential equipment, while the recycled, PFC-free inner and groundsheet complement the DCF flysheet. The compact packed dimensions help keep bulk down in your kit. FASTPACK and Pitchlite compatibility provides further configuration options for users planning a lightweight setup.

Solar Photon 2 or Solar Ultra 2?

These models have the same stated dimensions and packed size, but use different flysheet and groundsheet constructions. The Solar Ultra 2 offers a UK-made DCF flysheet with factory-bonded seams, while the Solar Photon 2 uses a silicone-coated ripstop nylon flysheet. The Ultra has the higher flysheet hydrostatic head, but the Photon has the higher groundsheet rating; neither figure alone establishes overall weather performance.
