Highlander Blackthorn 1 GEN2 Green – Ultralight 1-person tent for solo adventurers

The Highlander Blackthorn 1 GEN2 is the ideal shelter for solo travellers who need a lightweight, compact and reliable tent. Weighing just 1.71 kg and packing down to 29 x 14 cm, it fits easily into any backpack or bikepacking setup.

The tent uses an inner-first pitching system, allowing setup in under 5 minutes. Its low-profile, streamlined design ensures excellent wind resistance and stability even in exposed conditions.

With a 2000 mm hydrostatic head flysheet and a 3000 mm sewn-in groundsheet, both fully taped, you’re protected from rain and damp ground. A fine-mesh inner keeps out midges and insects – tested in the Scottish Highlands.

The side vestibule adds space for boots, cooking gear or a pack, while inside you’ll find thoughtful details like an internal clothes line, flame-retardant materials and durable fibreglass poles.
