Terra Nova says
The Laser Pulse 1 is built for those who prioritise speed, weight-saving, andefficiency on the trail. Designed for ultra-distance athletes, endurance racers, and solo fast-packers, it delivers an unparalleled balance of weight and functionality. As one of the lightest double-wall tents in the world, it is designed for those who count every gram without compromising on essential protection. For 2025, the Laser Pulse 1 has been updated with a fully recycled, PFC-free groundsheet, inner, and flysheet, reinforcing Terra Nova’s commitment to sustainability.
The tent continues to feature an 8.7 mm DAC NFL main pole and a TN Reflex alloy end pole, ensuring a highly durable yet incredibly lightweight structure. The upgrade to 10Dripstop PFC-free, recycled fabric enhances sustainability, durability and weather resistance, making it a reliable choice for fast-moving expeditions.
Despite its ultralight build, the Laser Pulse 1 maintains a comfortable sitting height of 85cm, providing more headroom than many other tents in its category. The single side-entry door allows for easy access, while the 20cm porch provides space for essential gear storage. Its FASTPACK compatibility allows users to further reduce weight by stripping out unnecessary components, making it even more versatile for ultralight setups.
Packing down to just 30cm x 10cm, the Laser Pulse 1 disappears into even the smallest pack, making it a perfect choice for those travelling light over long distances. Whether used for mountain marathons, endurance challenges, or fast-and-light solo adventures, this tent is engineered for speed without compromise.
