I chose the tent because it is small, compact, and less conspicuous. The color is great. The disappointment is the interior space. It does not match the description. The groundsheet has its widest area over a length of about 130 cm, then it narrows sharply. It is not possible to fit a 196x60 inflatable sleeping pad inside. A foam pad will fit because it can bend. At my height of 186 cm, my sleeping bag touches the rainfly, and I would be worried about moisture. Also, if you are thinking of putting a backpack under the rainfly, even a 40 L one, there is nowhere to put it. The space is very small and narrow. See photo. I am disappointed and returning it. Interestingly, not a single dimension matches, neither on the tag nor on the tent bag.

Great one-person tent! The Highlander Blackthorn Gen. 2 is lightweight, easy to set up, and provides good protection against rain and wind. It's an excellent choice for solo trips.

I placed an order on Saturday, and the package arrived on Thursday. The delivery was free and there was an option to pay on delivery. I am very satisfied with my first purchase. The tent is well-made, lightweight, and compact. It is comfortable for someone up to 180 cm tall. Inside, it's quite snug, like a cocoon—best used with a mat and a mummy-style sleeping bag.

When folded, the tent takes up very little space and is exceptionally light. It fits easily in a 40-liter backpack, leaving room for a sleeping bag and a self-inflating mat. I definitely recommend it.

Delivery to Ukraine took about 5 days. The tent is interesting and I liked it. I am 180 cm tall — on a thin sleeping pad it is comfortable, but with an inflatable mattress it gets cramped, my head and feet touch the inner wall, but you can still sleep well and breathe easily. There’s a significant gap between the inner and outer wall. The seams are well made, and the outer layer is lined with silicone on the inside, so after a trip you need to dry the tent thoroughly. The product’s weight matches the information in the description. After replacing the metal stakes (they weigh 380 g for 19 pieces) with aluminum ones, the whole set will weigh around 1600 grams. Getting in and out is a bit like getting into a sports car — not comfortable, but inside there’s a hook for a flashlight and a small pocket for items. A standard rectangular sleeping mat doesn’t fit; a cocoon-shaped one with cut corners will be better. The camouflage is pleasant and subtle, more suitable for autumn or spring. Despite a few flaws, I am satisfied with the purchase.
