Description
The Southern Cross 1 takes its design inspiration from the award winning Laser range of lightweight tents
禍ｼ Includes an additional pole to provide extra stability and structure.
禍ｼ Pitching is quick and easy as the flysheet and inner are erected as one and the flysheet and groundsheet are fully taped providing complete waterproof protection.
禍ｼ Due to its freestanding nature, pegging is kept to a minimum.
禍ｼ There is a spacious inner and porch, the porch door can be fixed open in several ways to provide the most suitable weather protection for the current conditions.
禍ｼ We’ve included a handy webbing loop at the bottom of the flysheet door to accomodate a trekking pole, enabling you to create a useful canopy.
A 2 person version of this tent is also available Southern Cross 2
I purchased my Terra Nova Voyager from Cotswold Outdoor, in 2003, just after we returned from Iraq. We went straight over to the Alps where i spent 3 weeks in this tent, in varied weather conditions, and must say that this is a bomb. we had this tent in the snowline, as well as in the valley (more rain) which it performed better than I had expected. The mountains threw everything at us, determined to spoil our trip and yet, the Voyager proved its worth by staying erect and watertight. Both my climbing colleague (at the time) and I are both 6'2" (188cm) and although tight, it was warm, and the vestibule was a suitable size to house both our bergans, although cooking became tight. I am really impressed with this tent, as i was in the Lake District last week with my voyager and is still as good looking as the first day i bought it. I purchased my Terra Nova, as I had many experiences living in the Quasar, in Norway (Artci Conditions), and that was not moving in those conditions. Its well built, looks great and performs well, hence the voyager. I ma now looking to reseal the Voyager as wel as purchase the Southern Cross 1 and would welcome any views on this.
Can't fault this tent - lasted perfectly in 50+ mph winds and 12-14" of rain in 24 hours in the Icelandic Highlands. While other tents were flapping and struggling, this stayed as solid as a rock and comfortable inside.
I took this tent to Iceland and was glad I did. The wind blowing something terrible and sometimes I thought a bomb had gone off with the way the tent violently shook but glad to say this tent stayed up despite the very heavy weather.
Excellent tent. Lightweight, very simple to pitch, integral pitch too making life easier once you find your perfect spot. Great design that sheds wind! Cannot recommend this tent any more to wild camp novices and experienced alike
A must have for any wild camping enthusiast ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
