Highlander Blackthorn 1 Person Tent – Lightweight & Waterproof. 4 Season Tent for 1 Person. Quick And Easy Pitch Ultra Low-Profile for Hiking, Fishing, Cyclists & Backpacking

I've just taken the Highlander Blackthorn 1 XL on a few wild camping trips in the Lake District, and for the price, this tent is an absolute bargain. The weight-to-value ratio is its biggest strength. It's light enough to carry without complaint but still feels robust enough to handle a bit of weather. It packs down small and is quick and easy to pitch, which is exactly what you want when you're trying to get set up before dark. As for space, I'm 6 foot tall, and I opted for the XL version. It's a "just about" fit, but I can lie down fully, which is the main thing. The real surprise was the internal space. I could comfortably fit my 90L rucksack inside the tent with me—not just in a porch—which is a massive win for keeping my gear dry and secure overnight. If you're a solo wild camper looking for a lightweight, budget-friendly shelter that can actually fit a taller person and their gear, the Blackthorn 1 XL is a fantastic choice.

positives: lightweight, easy to assemble, good quality, cheap negatives: Small, hardly any porch, two layers that can't really be connected when folded up as you need to fit the poles into the inner layer. So not suitable for wet and windy conditions as the inner will get soaking wet before you have a chance to out on the outer layer. As a cheap, lightweight tent for overnight solo camping in good weather conditions, its perfectly acceptable. Just make sure you buy a bed pad that fits as space inside is very limited.

I see what people mean about the tent poles breaking, they do feel very fragile, but as long as you don’t use undue force they work just fine, only used it once so far though so we shall see. The inside is very tight, I’m a slender 6’2” inch man and it’s very cozy but if you are claustrophobic you might not like this, it’s a bit miserable to use in the rain because there is no room to sit down and take your boots off unless you are very flexible like me, you are either in this tent, getting out, or outside of the tent, there isn’t much headroom to sit in this. I wish the door flap could be held open somehow, I’m going to add a magnet to try and keep it open.

I took it hiking in Dartmoor for 3 night in pretty rough weather. Set up was super simple. Tent is light and small. Poles look to be a bit weak - but held in 70km gusts. It was raining hard each night and totally dry inside. Size wise - I am 6ft4 and inside was large enough for me to be comfy and keep important supplies close. Its quite low and I couldn't sit comfortably in the door way. For the price its a good tent, Only thing holding it back is the poles, they made me worry a bit in the high wind.

This tent is an absolute disgrace. I’m in it right now for the first night of the West Highland Way and it’s so small that I can’t fit my roll matt in and my feet are getting cold and wet because they’re touching the end. I’m not even 6 foot tall. Thanks a lot Highlander now I have to deal with sleeping on the hard ground getting wet feet for 5 nights. Thanks for ruining my hard earned trip. AVOID like the plague unless you’re a bloody hobbit.

Excellent item! I am in it now, in very heavy rain and l am warm and dry.

I really love this tent! It's super compact and lightweight so I can carry it easily in my backpack. It's very easy to set up and has sustained quite a lot of rain, with maybe one or two raindrops dripping on me during the night. It is very small though so you won't be sitting inside, but that's just what I was looking for.

I am just back home from 9 days in the west highland way, this tent was used in the wettest week in scotland so far this year, in the most remote parts of the land, 340m up in the great glen pass through to glen nevis in gale force winds. The tent held up the whole journey with only 4 drops of condensation.. for £79 for the XL size (me being 6’5) i cannot recommend this anymore! Its so easy to assemble even with a swarm of midges eating you, you can take it down in minutes in the pouring rain, its a 1 person tent so for size, it is what it is, it fit me and my bag of stuff! Great value and couldnt fault it! Recommend!

Super Zelt!!! Danke. Lässt sich schnell aufbauen, ist stabil und schöööön klein! Man schläft sehr gut darin. Die Farbe ist schön unauffällig

Me gusto mucho

super tente compacte, étanche et légère, se monte/démonte ultra facilement. A savoir, je mesure 1m80 et il me reste peu de marge pour toucher la tente de la tête et des pieds (attention aux grands gabarits) personnellement j'en suis ravi et la personne à qui je l'ai prêté également

Fácil de montar y desmontar. Poco peso y tamaño perfecto para la mochila. Habitación de mosquitera, ideal para usar en verano sin el doble techo. No ha sido probada con lluvia. Algo incómoda para entrar y salir y no se puede estar sentado dentro. Bien construida y ligera, pero no la recomiendo para los que midan más de 1,80 de alto. Apta para dormir y nada más.

Artikel kam sehr schnell an. ISt tatsächlich sehr leicht und kompakt verpasst, hat bei mir sogar auf den Gepäckträger vom Fahrrad gepasst und auch in meinen kleinen Rucksack passt es locker an. Das Zelt ansich ist super leicht und schnell aufzubauen. Es hält einigermaßen warm, habe es bei 7 Grad und schlechten Schlafsack benutzt und nur wenig gefroren :D Das Zelt ist nur zum schlafen gedacht, es ist so flach dass SItzen darin quasi unmöglich ist. Es hat auch kein unnötigen Schnickschnack um größe und Gewicht zu sparen, was ich gut finde. WICHTIG IST ABER: ZELT WIRD (zumindest bei mir) OHNE HERRINGE GELIEFERT. Ohne Herringe bleibt das Zelt quasi nicht stehen, zum Glück hatte ich es vorher im Garten ausprobiert, sonst hätte ich wohl in der Wildnis dumm aus der Wäsche geguckt. Außerdem wird das Zelt zum Fußende hin sehr schmal, hier muss man schauen ob die Isomatte/Lftmatratze hineinpasst. Fazit: Alles in allem ein perfektes Zelt für mehrtägige Ausflüge zu Fuß oder mit dem Fahrrad. Für Festivals oder Menschen die es gerne Konfortabel haben eher nichts.
