Terra Nova Quasar Tent

Season:EOL

Brand:Terra Nova

Code:5064933

The Quasar is designed for mountaineers looking for an extremely strong tent and is at home in the mountains as it is at the geographic poles.  Its strength, durability and space make it the perfect choice for longer term mountaineering trips or expeditions.  The tent is rated for 4 season mountain use and is as much at home wild camping as it is on a campsite.
 
The inner pitch first design of this this tent adds to its stability, makes it quieter than a tunnel tent in windy conditions and creates superb inner tension which prevents sagging and provides the largest usable space possible.   It’s simple and quick to pitch with colour coded poles and continuous pole sleeves. The free-standing format means this tent is ideal for camping where the ground is less firm, as it doesn't rely on guy lines and pegs to support its main structure.
 
Two entrances and porches allow sheltered access and plenty of space to store your gear. Each inner door has a full midge-proof mesh and full solid inner door, enabling a multitude of ventilation options depending on weather conditions. 
 
A combination of proven Terra Nova Watershed and Waterbloc fabrics provide excellent durability and UV resistance with superb waterproofing. The Quasar is updated for 2017 with the introduction of 30 Denier nylon ripstop Watershed fabric for the flysheet which has reduced the packed weight of the tent by 800g. The flysheet and groundsheet are taped for complete weather protection.
 
Dyneema reflective guylines add more stability in bad conditions. Dyneema guyrope is three times as strong as standard guyrope of the same weight and has very low stretch for stability in all conditions.
 
A Footprint which covers the area under the inner and porch is designed to prolong the life of the tent and help keep it clean. This can be purchased separately.
 
Our staff team have lost count of the number of nights we have spent in a Quasar - a sure sign that it is a worthy investment!
Buyers Guide - How to choose a tent

We think that any time spent in a tent is time well spent. A quiet camp away from the hassle of modern life can be medicine for the soul but with so many different designs available making sure you buy the right one can quickly give you a tents nervous headache!

Shelter is important. Our large range has been especially selected so that we have a great choice for the lone backpacker right through to the adventurous family and the hardiest of expeditions. Just ask and we will explain the differences so you can camp happily and enjoy your time under the stars…..


- How do I decide what size of tent I need?
- Why are there so many different tent shapes?
- Do I need a 3,4 or 5 season tent?
- How waterproof will my tent be?
- What is the difference between cotton, nylon or polyester tent fabric and which is best?
- Why is the colour of my tent important?
- Poles are poles – right??
- Why do I need to buy extra pegs?
- My tent is wet from the inside – is it leaking?
- What is the best way to store and care for my tent?




Top tips to make the right choice:

Key questions to ask yourself before tent shopping are: Where am I going? When am I going? What terrain will I need to pitch on?

A footprint or groundsheet protector is an excellent investment – moles have no idea how much financial trauma they cause when trying to surface under a brand new tent!

If you are a super tidy tent person and have a tent partner who, er….isn’t; save yourself hours of torment by gifting them a gear loft or tent tidy so you don’t lose valuable life minutes while they ratch around for their stuff.

Remember to place your shockcorded poles together rather than allow them to snap together this reduces fracturing at the ends over time.

A tarp pitched over the front of your tent can make a great gear garage so you have more space inside. It can also double up as an all weather kitchen.

ALWAYS keep your inner doors zipped up while pitching a geodesic tent in a high wind. If it is not pegged down it could go up, up, up and far away…..
