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.
