Terra Nova launches super-light rucksacks! 

We thought you should be the first to know the latest lightweight news. Well-established, quality tent manufacturer Terra Nova is gearing up to launch a completely new range of featherlight rucksacks. Out next March, the range will include a 6 litre bumbag at 182g; a 20 litre rucksack at 328g; and a 35 litre daysack at 467g.
Terra Nova’s Carolyn Budding says: “These are aimed at day walkers, lightweight backpackers and adventure racers. The middleweight sack combined with our lightest tent, the 790g Laser Photon, weighs only just over 1kg [that’s less than a bottle of wine!]. The sacks have elasticated bungees for compression, integrated clips, and the smaller two have easy-access hipbelt pockets but the largest sack hipbelt is more streamlined.”
