Terra Nova says

The Laser Lite 2 is engineered for adventurers who need a tent that is lightweight without sacrificing durability or interior space. Designed for fast-paced expeditions, endurance challenges, and multi-day treks, this two-person shelter provides a balance of weight efficiency and comfort, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy the remote outdoors. For 2025, the Laser Lite 2 has been refined with several key innovations.

The addition of two side-entry doors—one C-shaped and one D-shaped—offers greater accessibility and ventilation, making it easier to enter and exit the tent while optimizing airflow. With a spacious 220cm inner length and flexible inner width of between 120–130cm (center measurement), it provides increased comfort for two occupants while still maintaining an impressively compact packed size of 30cm x 14cm. Designed for those who need a fast, efficient, and highly reliable shelter, the Laser Lite 2 integrates seamlessly with Terra Nova’s FASTPACK system, allowing for a customisable ultralight configuration

Our Verdict

At 1,105g (excluding pegs and bags), this two-person tent strikes a strong balance between pack weight and protection. The 2025 update introduces Terra Nova’s TriPlex flysheet fabric, made from recycled, PFC-free, solution-dyed yarns—a move towards more sustainable design without compromising performance. AiroCorner reinforcements improve ground contact and waterproofing at stress points, while the new silicone groundsheet reduces weight and boosts durability.

The inner is long and low, with just enough width for two regular mats, though I’d consider it most comfortable for solo use with gear or for shorter trips with a partner. Dual side-entry doors are a welcome addition, making access easier and improving ventilation. Setup is fast and secure with linelock-adjustable corners, and the whole thing packs down small at 30cm x 14cm.

It holds its shape well when guyed out, and materials feel robust for the weight class. The darker interior is great for sleeping in, though it can feel enclosed during long spells, especially in the winter.
