The Highlander Blackthorn 1 Person Tent: A Buyer's Guide
A shelter is one of those buys where the details matter more than the photograph, so here is the plain-English version of what the Highlander Blackthorn 1 Person Tent is, who it suits and how to get the best out of it.
What it is built for
Not every session calls for a full bivvy. The Highlander Blackthorn 1 Person Tent is a low, tough one-person tent for anglers who travel light or move between swims, giving you a proper enclosed shelter that still packs down small.
Weather protection
It is made with waterproof, 4-season, in-built bug net. The low profile keeps it stable when the wind picks up, and the built-in bug net means you can sleep with the flysheet open on warm nights without feeding the midges.
Space and setup
It pitches quickly and comes down just as fast, then packs away small enough to carry to the swims other anglers walk past. Keep it dry between trips and it will see you through plenty of nights on the bank.
Looking after it
Treat it like any good piece of bank kit and it will last. Let it dry fully before you pack it away, brush the worst of the mud off before it dries, and store it somewhere dry rather than damp in the boot of the car. Done that way, the waterproofing keeps doing its job season after season.
