A FULL unbias review of the Terra Nova Southern Cross 2 - The ULTIMATE 4 Season Camping Tent.
I was so excited to get this tent that i actually set it up in the garden, laid in it for about half an hour, took it down and forgot to do a review.
This tent has been reduced on the Terra Nova Website from £900 to £630.... still a whopping price but i definitely have zero regrets and can 100% see why the tent itself would be so expensive. IT'S QUALITY and you will not regret buying this tent! I will confess... this is a fave value review....i'm yet to put it through its paces.

FULL SPEC (info taken directly from website with my own tweaks):
- Sleeps: 2
- Weight (Max/ Min): 2.43kg (5lb 6oz) / 2.18kg (4lb 13oz)
- Number of porches: 2
- Number of doors: 2
- Packed size: 42cm x 18cm
- Season: 4 season
- Flysheet: Watershed 30D Nylon Ripstop Si/Pu (5000mm)
- Inner: 20D Ripstop Nylon C0
- Groundsheet: Waterbloc 70D Nylon PU (10,000mm)
- Poles: 8.64mm TN Reflex
- Pegs: Terra Firma Pegs 13g
- Guylines: Dyneema Reflective
The tent has 2 doors and 2 very spacious vestibiles, with easy access and providing plenty of storage space. Inner tent doors have zip-closeable mesh panels to help regulate ventilation and keep those nasty bugs at bay
Pitching is quick and easy as the flysheet and inner are erected as one, this took me around 5 minutes... if that!
The flysheet and groundsheet are fully taped providing complete waterproof protection.
The outer fly door can be fixed open in several ways to provide the most suitable weather protection. There’s a useful webbing loop at the bottom of the flysheet door to accommodate a trekking pole, enabling you to create a canopy.

I'm out in my local woods now, christening my Southern Cross 2. Ridiculously easy to pitch, bags of room for one, loads of great features, top quality materials and construction, and, quite frankly, a thing of beauty. My last tent was a low-roof, narrow stealth job; little more than a fabric coffin really. The Southern Cross 2 weighs 300g less and is positively palatial by comparison. I'm chuffed to bits with it.

I really want this tent, I went super lightweight and bought a coffin tent, totally regret it and it wasn't much cheaper than this beaut, hindsight is a wonderful thing 😭🙄

My mate did exactly the same, he bought the Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1 and completely regreted not being able to move around as he got changed or dressed etc. The Souther Cross 2 is ideal, i won't be looking for another tent anytime soon. Could you sell yours on Facebook Marketplace maybe and use that towards one of these?

Yeah its an immense tent, had it out and loved it, yet to test it but hoping to soon

Please post updates after you have been out in it a few times. I'm wondering if it gets too hot in the summer months. In Western Australia we don't get high winds and snow together so our 4th season is really a 3+ except perhaps mid winter in the "high" Stirling Ranges. I'm also keen to know if it's truly a 2P tent with gear and sleeping kits. Thank for this review it looks like you have the latest version of this tent.

@Danny37Outdoors Ай бұрын

Hey Brad, yeah will do mate, i can tell you for sure you'll get two mats in and the vestebule/porch areas are 100% big enough for your kit and a partners kit eitherside. I've had it out once but it didnt get much of a test, hoping to put it through its paces later in the year, it's suppose to be a true 4 season tent due to the specs/ outer fly comes all the way to the floor and plenty of ventilation etc and with the added options for the doors etc but yeah ill keep you posted mate

@bradl2636 Ай бұрын

@@Danny37Outdoors Yes my only concern is adequate ventilation in summer months. I’m looking for a one-tent solution. This might be overkill in Western Australia but I do like the option for winter use albeit our winter is not as extreme in the UK.

When did you buy this , is this the old version, i thought the new version you can’t zip up the mesh doors in new updated one. Good review

@Danny37Outdoors 2 ай бұрын

I received this about 3 days ago mate, its the new version, unsure how the previous version was (or what you mean...?) but you can unzip the inner mesh, there are 2 zips... one to unzip the door and 2 tie back toggles and then a secondary zip at the top once your inner door is zipped up you can unzip the top section which will open up a small section of the door but also has mesh which acts as extra ventilation/ a view point and almost a bug net so you can have the outer fly door open and still get the views while being safe from the mozzies in your inner

It pulls too easy, and it ends up with pulls in the material. The material ends up like tissue paper eventually and rips very easily. I've had the SC 1, and friends have had the SC 2.
