Terra Nova Jupiter Bivvy - A great alternative to a tent for the solo backpacker.

A single pre-curved 7075 T9 aluminium alloy pole provide extra headroom and ensures good ventilation making it suitable for warmer, more humid conditions. No-see-um mesh door keeps out insects and has a storm hood for better weather protection.

The Gore-Tex FLO2 fabric creates a more comfortable sleeping environment by allowing oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass through as well as water vapour.

Wild Country Sololite - a truly versatile one person tent, and with a packed weight of less than 2 kg is ideal for the lightweight backpacker on a budget. There are no sacrifices in quality either with lightweight DAC poles, alloy v-angle pegs, and fully taped seams making this tent suitable for 3-4 season backpacking.

Pitching flysheet first and using colour coded pole tips makes it a doddle to set up, and the clever pole and inner design means stability and internal space are maximised. The real ace-up -the sleeve for this tent however is the retractable inner. This allows you to increase the porch space for cooking whilst shortening the inner to 190cms, leaving plenty of room to lie down - kettle on - and enjoy the view!
