Highlander Blackthorn 2 Tent Gen2

The Highlander Blackthorn 2 Gen2 is the two-person tent in the Blackthorn Gen2 range, using the same tunnel design and the same fabrics as the solo Blackthorn 1 Gen2 and Blackthorn 1+ Gen2, scaled up for two sleepers and a proper vestibule. At 2.72kg it splits comfortably between two packs, and the 210 x 150 x 93cm inner is tall enough to sit up in and wide enough for two standard sleeping mats side by side. The 190T polyester flysheet is rated to 2000mm with taped seams, over a fully sewn-in 190T groundsheet rated to 3000mm. The front vestibule adds 120cm of covered ground ahead of the inner, which is where the cooking happens and where wet kit stays. An internal hanging line, fire-retardant materials, high-visibility guylines and 6.9mm fibreglass poles with eyelet-and-buckle fixing complete it, and the whole thing pitches in about five minutes. Available in Scarab Green and HMTC Camo.

Key Features

• Two-Person Tunnel Design - 210 x 150cm floor takes two standard sleeping mats side by side, or one person with gear inside
• 120cm Front Vestibule - Covered ground for cooking and for storing wet equipment away from the sleeping area
• 93cm Interior Height - Enough headroom to sit up in the centre of the tent rather than lie down only
• 190T Polyester Flysheet - 2000mm hydrostatic head with taped seams for waterproof protection in UK conditions
• Fully Sewn-In Groundsheet - 190T polyester rated to 3000mm keeps moisture out from below
• High-Visibility Guylines - Bright cord that is easier to see and less easy to trip over around camp
• Pitches in 5 Minutes - Eyelet and buckle pole fixing for a fast, secure setup
• 6.9mm Fibreglass Poles - Flexible and cheap to replace; they take a bend without holding it
• Fire-Retardant Materials - Flysheet and groundsheet both meet fire safety standards
• Internal Hanging Line - Practical point for drying clothes or organising kit inside the tent
• Roll-Top Drybag Carry Bag - Heavy duty stuff sack with a waterproof roll-top closure, packing to 48 x 14cm and splitting easily between two packs

Ideal For

• Two-Person Backpacking - Splits between two packs at 2.72kg, so neither of you carries much more than a solo tent
• Solo Camping With Gear Inside - Plenty of floor space to keep a full pack, boots and kit in the tent with you
• Multi-Day Trips and Wild Camping - Vestibule space for cooking under cover makes long, wet evenings far more manageable
• Couples and Camping Pairs - Sit-up height and a shared vestibule make it workable for more than just sleeping
• DofE, Cadet and Expedition Group Use - Two-person tents suit most expedition kit lists, and the HMTC Camo variant suits field exercises and training weekends

Which Blackthorn Gen2 is right for you?

All three share the same fabrics, 2000mm flysheet and 3000mm groundsheet, and all three pitch in about five minutes. The difference is interior height, floor space and weight.
