Description

Lightweight. Spacious. Sustainable.

Designed for backpackers and hikers, the Solar Horizon 2 is a spacious, lightweight two-person tent with a new inner pitch-first design for added versatility. Built with recycled, solution-dyed, and PFC-free fabrics, it’s one of the most sustainable 3-season tents on the market without compromising on performance.

The Solar Horizon 2 is the ideal tent for backpackers and long-distance trekkers who are looking for the optimal balance of space, weight-saving, and durability. New for 2025, it features an inner pitch-first design, allowing for greater flexibility in different conditions. With a packed weight of just 1.9 kg, it’s light enough for fast-paced adventures but offers impressive interior space, with 224 cm length and 126 cm width, providing a comfortable sleeping area for two people. Constructed from our new TriPlex™ triple ripstop flysheet fabric, the Solar Horizon 2 is engineered for stability in challenging weather, with the option to add trekking poles for extra reinforcement. The PFC-free, solution-dyed and recycled fabrics not only improve eco-credentials but also enhance durability and UV resistance.

Technology

	Durable. Sustainable. Expedition-Ready. TriPlex™ is Terra Nova's most advanced tent fabric - developed to offer high-performance protection while reducing environmental impact. TriPlex™ is a triple ripstop polyester fabric made from: Recycled fibres - using post-consumer plastic bottles Solution-dyed yarns - reducing water, energy and chemical use PFC-free coatings - free from harmful fluorocarbons The result is a rugged, weatherproof fabric that's built for serious adventures - and better for the planet. Why We Use It? Triple Ripstop Strength Woven for increased tear resistance and long-term durability in exposed terrain. Sustainable Construction From yarn to coating, every layer is designed to minimise waste, water use and emissions. Waterproof Performance A High-Pressure Silicone Coating (HPS Si/Si) is applied to both sides of the lightweight waterproofing that lasts, with no need for toxic WR treatments.
	Solution Dyed Fabrics What is Solution Dyeing? Solution dyeing is a process where pigments are added directly to the polymer solution before the yarn is even formed. Unlike traditional dyeing (which soaks finished fabric in dye baths), solution dyeing locks in colour at the fibre level. Why It's Better for the Planet 80-90% less water used No rinsing or dye baths needed Less energy consumption No repeated heating or drying cycles Fewer chemicals No dyes, mordants, or effluents to manage Performance Benefits Fade Resistance Colour is embedded in the fibre, meaning it won't wash out or fade under UV light Improved Durability Fabrics are often stronger and more abrasion-resistant Cleaner Supply Chain Less wastewater, fewer emissions, and more consistent results
	DAC Poles Premium ultralight performance from the world leader in tent pole technology. We use DAC poles across many of our highest-spec tents for their strength, weight-saving design and reduced environmental impact. Material: Exclusive TH72M aluminium alloy Weight-saving tech: DAC NFL poles are swaged at both ends for lighter overall mass Eco Credentials: Green Anodising process recycles water and limits harmful chemicals. Found in models where every gram counts.
	Trekking Pole Compatible Versatility for minimalist, fast-and-light adventures. Some of our shelters are designed to be pitched using standard trekking poles, removing the need for some dedicated tent poles and reducing pack weight. Benefits: Simplified packing Fewer components to carry or lose Lighter overall load Ideal for thru-hikers, fastpackers, and ultralight travellers Dual-use gear Trekking poles double as structural support
	PFC-Free Treatments What Are PFCs? PFCs (perfluorinated compounds) are a group of man-made chemicals used to create water, oil, and stain-resistant finishes - especially in outdoor gear. While highly effective, they persist in the environment and are slow to break down. Why PFCs Are Common in Outdoor Gear Traditionally, PFC-based treatments have been used to create durable water repellent (DWR) finishes, helping water bead and roll off clothing and tents. They extend product life and improve performance in wet conditions - but at a cost. Environmental & Health Concerns Persistent in nature: PFCs don't degrade easily, and trace amounts are now found in water, soil, and wildlife worldwide. Bioaccumulative: Some PFCs build up in human and animal tissue, raising long-term health questions. Banned in parts of Europe: Regulations are tightening, with many outdoor brands phasing out long-chain PFCs (like C8 compounds). Does PFC-Free Mean Less Performance? No. Our in-house and third-party testing ensures all waterproof garments and tent flysheets meet rigorous hydrostatic head and repellency standards - with or without PFCs.
	Recycled Materials What Are Recycled Materials in Outdoor Gear? Recycled materials in our products primarily come from post-consumer waste - such as used plastic bottles - which are processed into high0quality polyester fibres. These are then spun into durable, lightweight fabrics used across a number of our items. Where We Use Recycled Materials Extremities Gloves & Hats - Many styles include 90%+ recycled fabric content, while still offering the same warmth, waterproofing, and wind resistance expected from our high-performance gear. Select Tents & Accessories - Where fabric performance allows, we incorporate recycled textiles or trims without compromising tear strength, weight, or weather resistance. Why It Matters Reduces Waste Diverts plastic waste from landfill and gives it a second life. Lowers Carbon Footprint Manufacturing recycled polyester can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 30% compared to virgin polyester. Supports Circular Design We're moving toward a gear ecosystem that minimises resource use and environmental impact - while still meeting the demands of serious adventurers.
