The Highlander Blackthorn 1+ Gen2 is designed for solo backpackers and wild campers who prioritize a balance between portability and interior living space. Its primary benefit is the extra internal volume compared to standard solo tents, providing enough room for taller campers or additional gear storage without significantly increasing pack weight. A key caveat to note is its low-profile silhouette, which, while excellent for wind resistance and stealth, requires more careful movement when entering or exiting the tent.

Yes, the Highlander Blackthorn 1+ Gen2 includes all necessary poles and pegs for a complete setup.
The 1+ design is specifically intended to provide extra room, so a standard hiking backpack will fit alongside you inside the sleeping area.
It is a 3-season tent; while it handles wind and rain well, it is not designed for heavy snow loading.
The tent has a total weight of 2.1kg, making it highly portable for backpacking.
Yes, the material used in the construction is fire retardant for increased safety.
Use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then allow it to air dry completely before storing.
Ensure that the tent is fully tensioned using the guylines and that all pegs are driven deep into the ground to maintain proper fabric pitch.
Keep the ventilation points unobstructed and ensure the tent is not pitched directly on marshy ground to minimize moisture rising from the earth.
Setting up the tent is straightforward using the included eyelet and buckle pole system. To set it up, lay out the groundsheet, insert the poles through the designated channels, and tension the buckle system to create the structure. Always ensure the tent is pegged out correctly to maximize the tension of the waterproof fabric. To maintain the life of the polyester material, avoid packing the tent away while soaking wet for long periods; if you must pack it wet, ensure it is hung to dry within 24 hours of returning home. Clean the fabric only with a soft sponge and cold water to avoid damaging the waterproof coating.
