Product Information

Full details

The Highlander Blackthorn 1+ GEN2 is a reliable, lightweight backpacking tent designed for solo adventurers who prioritize a low-profile, stable shelter in variable weather. Its primary strength lies in its streamlined, aerodynamic design and extra internal storage, making it ideal for minimalist hikers; however, its low roof height (88cm) means campers with larger frames may find the headroom restrictive when sitting up inside.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent wind resistance due to low-profile design
  • Fully sewn-in groundsheet for bug and weather protection
  • Compact packed size fits easily into most hiking packs

Cons

  • Limited headroom makes it difficult to sit upright
  • Single-hoop design requires careful pegging to stay stable
  • Smaller footprint may feel tight for taller users

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Clear the ground of sharp objects.
  2. Lay out the groundsheet and insert the poles into the sleeves.
  3. Peg the rear of the tent first, then pull the front forward to tension the structure.
  4. Secure all guy lines to ensure maximum wind stability.

Compatibility & Care:

  • Always allow the tent to dry completely before packing to prevent mold or fabric degradation.
