Terra Nova Quasar Tent Size 40 - Outdoor Action

Terra Nova

The iconic Quasar has set the standard for four-season expedition tents for over 40 years, and the 2026 update featuring the TriPlex™ flysheet continues that legacy. This fully geodesic, high-strength shelter is engineered for extreme environments, delivering outstanding stability, durability, and year-round weather protection. With a weight range of 2.71kg (minimum) to 3.05kg (maximum), it is built for serious mountaineers, polar expeditions, and all-season adventurers. Stronger, more sustainable, and fully expedition-ready, the Quasar remains a benchmark in its class. Long regarded as one of the most reliable four-season tents in the world, the Quasar is trusted by mountaineers and extreme-weather explorers for its exceptional performance over decades. Its fully geodesic frame provides superb structural integrity, keeping the shelter secure in high winds, heavy snowfall, and harsh winter conditions. A dual-door layout with front and rear porches adds flexibility and generous storage, making it especially well suited to two-person expeditions in demanding environments. At the core of the design is the TriPlex™ flysheet, developed for dependable all-weather protection while prioritising sustainability. It is fully PFC-free, made with recycled and solution-dyed materials, and constructed from high-performance 20D triple ripstop Si/PU C0 fabric with a 5,000mm hydrostatic head. This is paired with recycled inner and groundsheet fabrics, including a heavy-duty 70D PU-coated recycled groundsheet rated at 10,000mm HH for maximum durability and protection. Strength is further enhanced by 9.5mm TN Reflex poles, offering an excellent strength-to-weight balance and the ability to handle heavy snow loads and severe weather. Internally, the tent measures 217cm in length and 136cm in width, with 105cm of headroom, providing a secure yet comfortable space for two occupants. Dual 72cm porches offer practical gear storage even in the most challenging conditions. Despite its expedition-grade build, the Quasar packs down to a relatively compact 47cm x 18cm, making it suitable for remote, high-altitude, and polar expeditions where reliability is essential. A proven expedition workhorse, the Quasar is recognised for its long-standing performance record in extreme environments and remains an inductee in the Trail Gear Hall of Fame.
