I chose this tent because of its small size, compactness, and the fact that it does not stand out. I really like the color. Unfortunately, the amount of space inside is disappointing and does not match the description. The ground mat has a maximum width of only about 130 cm, and then it narrows sharply. It is not possible to fit an inflatable sleeping mat measuring 196x60 cm inside. A foam mat will fit because it can be bent. At a height of 186 cm, the sleeping bag touches the rainfly, which raises concerns about moisture. Additionally, there is practically no room under the rainfly for a backpack, even a 40-liter one. This space is very tight and narrow. You can see it in the photo. I am disappointed and decided to return it. Interestingly, none of the stated dimensions are correct — neither on the label nor on the tent cover.

Excellent tent for one person! The Highlander Blackthorn Gen. 2 is lightweight, quick to set up, and provides good protection from wind and rain. A great choice for solo trips.

I ordered on Saturday, it arrived to me on Thursday, delivery was free, also with payment at the pickup point, overall great for a first order. The tent is well made, compact, and quite light. The maximum comfortable height is 180cm. Inside, it feels like being in a cocoon. You also need a mat and ideally a cocoon-shaped sleeping bag with it.

The tent is really compact when packed and it's really lightweight. It fits in a 40l backpack and there's still room for a sleeping bag and a self-inflating pad. I recommend it.

Delivery to Ukraine took about 5 days, the tent is interesting, I like it. My height is 180 cm, if you lie on a thin mat "karimat" it's fine, but if you use an inflatable mattress - it's tight, my head and feet touch the inner tent, but it's still possible to sleep, there's enough air, the distance from the outer to inner tent is large. The stitching is good, the outer tent seems to be siliconized on the inside, so it's important to dry it well after a trip. The weight is as described, if you replace the metal pegs (their weight is 380g for 19 pcs) with aluminum ones, the total weight will be about 1600 grams. Getting in and out is inconvenient, it’s like a sports car, inside there is a hook for a lantern and a pocket for things. A standard rectangular mat won’t fit, you need a cocoon-shaped mat with cut corners. The camouflage is nice, not too bright, but more suited to autumn and spring. Despite the downsides - I’m satisfied with the purchase.
