Highlander 2025: The Falcon, Respite, Blackthorn Gen 2 and Refuge highlighted

Highlander Outdoor has recently introduced a range of new tents aimed at adventurers who value lightweight, durability and ease of use. In this blog, we discuss four standout models: the Falcon, Respite, Blackthorn Gen 2 and the Refuge.

Falcon Bivvy Tent - Minimalist and robust

The Falcon is an ultra-compact bivvy tent designed for solo adventurers who want to travel light without compromising on protection. With its low profile, the tent offers excellent wind resistance, ideal for mountain hiking or bikepacking. The breathable fabric and integrated mosquito net ensure comfort, while the waterproof design keeps you dry during unexpected rain showers. If you look at it closely, it looks a lot like our Defcon 5 bivitents.

Respite Tent - Comfort for one or two people

The Respite is a tunnel tent available in variants for one or two people. The two-person model also has a special Extended version with an extended vestibule, perfect for storing equipment or preparing meals in bad weather. Thanks to its simple set-up and light weight, the Respite is ideal for backpackers looking for comfort and functionality

Blackthorn Gen 2 - Reliability in any season

With the Blackthorn Gen 2, Highlander's entire Blackthorn range has been replaced by the Blackthorn Gen 2. The XL has been replaced by the 1+ variant, but otherwise no major shocking changes, just the familiar Blackthorn tents in a new look.

Refuge Tent - Space and versatility

The Refuge is designed for adventurers who appreciate extra space and comfort. With plenty of interior space and a generous vestibule, this tent is ideal for longer camping trips or for those who like a bit more freedom of movement. The sturdy construction and high-quality materials ensure that you are protected from the elements, while the clever design makes setting up easy.

Conclusion

Whether you are a solo adventurer looking for a minimalist shelter or a duo who appreciate comfort and space, Highlander offers something for everyone with these new tents. With attention to detail, durability and ease of use, the Falcon, Respite, Blackthorn Gen 2 and Refuge are excellent choices for your next outdoor adventure.
