   Terra Nova Voyager XL

Lightweight, and with a big porch, the Voyager is a great choice for cycle touring and backpacking. Tried and tested around the world, it gives you maximum volume for minimum weight.

   Terra Nova Voyager XL Reviews

General comments: A new model for 2009, redesigning the old voyager to give more width and height at the tent entrance along with a fantastic extended fly at the front with double doors. Not bad for 2.4kg. The design is a geodesic / tunnel cross. The main part of the tent is supported by the inner (which pitches first), while the porch is supported by a single hoop at the front. The two door zips run beside the porch pole, and are very easy to access from within the tent (unlike on my solar and quasar) and producing two good entrances. It's first outing was at a very windy site in Northumberland, and while tunnel tents were forced to seek shelter along the stone walls this tent sat proudly on the high ground and barely moved (pitched low end into wind). A great tent for backpacking or lightweight cycle touring.

Pros: Great living/storage space with extension porch. Very strong. Good positioning of fly door zips for easy access from within. 2.4kg max weight. Inner tent entrance wide enough for two to sit comfortably to cook.

Cons: Ground sheet worryingly thin and fragile compared to the Solar 2 and Quasar. Strap sewn on inner to support front pole with snow loading (I guess) a bit silly.
