Blackthorn 1+ GEN2 Tent: Extra Space for the Solo Adventurer

Discover the Blackthorn 1+ Gen2 from Highlander, the perfect backpacking tent for wild campers who prefer a low profile but want that little bit of extra freedom of movement. This “1 Plus” version is the bigger brother of the standard Blackthorn 1 and offers crucial extra centimeters for taller campers or those who like to keep their gear safe and dry inside the tent. With its feather-light construction and compact pack size, this is the ultimate shelter for adventures where mobility and discretion are key.

The Blackthorn 1+ GEN2 comes in the natural Scarab Green color and is designed to offer maximum protection in all conditions.

- Extra Spacious 1-Person Model: With an interior size of 255 cm long and 105 cm wide, the 1+ variant offers significantly more living space than traditional solo tents, without losing the aerodynamic low profile.
- Reliable Weather Resistance: The 190T polyester flysheet has a water column of 2000 mm. Combined with a 3000 mm groundsheet and fully taped seams, you are guaranteed to stay dry during rainy nights.
- Safety and Convenience: The material is fire-retardant treated and the tent has a fully sewn-in groundsheet. The eyelet and buckle system ensures that the 6.9mm fiberglass poles stay in place quickly and securely.
- Integrated Mosquito Net: The inner tent features a built-in bug net, providing excellent ventilation while keeping insects out.
- Smart Organization: Use the internal clothesline/hanging line to dry clothes or hang your headlamp and gear in an organized manner.
- Compact Transport: Weighing only 2.1 kg and with a very small pack size of 33 x 14 cm, this tent fits effortlessly into or onto any backpack.

The biggest advantage of the Blackthorn 1+ GEN2 is its versatility for the solo traveler. For wild campers, the low profile is essential for remaining inconspicuous in the landscape and minimizing wind resistance. The extra length of the inner tent (255 cm) makes this model ideal for taller people who often find their head or feet touching the fabric in standard tents. In addition, the included Heavy Duty Stuff Sack ensures that you can store the tent compactly and safely after a wet night without dampening your other equipment.

Spread out the tent and insert the fiberglass poles through the sleeves. Secure the ends in the metal eyelets and click the buckles into place. Tension the tent with the pegs and guy ropes for optimal wind resistance. The inner tent can be set up first, which is useful during warm, dry nights. Use the internal hanging line for small essentials so you can maximize the floor space for your sleeping mat and kit.

This tent is the ideal choice for solo backpackers, bicycle travelers, and wild campers looking for a reliable, lightweight shelter with extra storage space. It is an excellent choice for adventurers who want the compactness of a 1-person tent but don't want to sacrifice the comfort of a larger inner tent.

The Blackthorn 1+ GEN2 in Scarab Green is a smart upgrade for any solo hiker. It combines robust build quality with a thoughtful spatial design, striking the perfect balance between low weight and high-quality outdoor comfort.
