NOVA New Colorway｜Tarragon Green

NOVA introduces a new color: Tarragon Green. 🌲🌄

It’s close to the color we see along the forest line at dawn—
before the sun fully rises, before the mist has cleared,
as vegetation is gently awakened by the first soft light of morning.

It doesn’t stand out, nor does it try to stay hidden.
In forests, valleys, and humid environments, it blends in naturally and effortlessly.

Perhaps lightweight outdoor gear isn’t only about reducing weight—
but also about restraint in visuals, and calm in emotion.

Upgraded & Back｜NOVA Ultralight One-Person Tent

NOVA is our first ultralight solo tent, created specifically for long-distance backpackers. ⛺

Featuring a single-Y + dual apex pole structure, DAC NFL series poles, wind resistance up to Level 8 (lab tested), and a total packed weight of approx. 1.08 kg (Mini: 942 g). Beyond numbers on a scale, NOVA pursues lightweight performance through durable, reliable, and never excessive materials and hardware choices.

This is a solo tent truly designed for long-distance, fully loaded backpacking. 🏃🏽‍♂️

In its functional design, NOVA focuses on two real-world backpacking scenarios: usable interior space for in-tent cooking, and effective condensation control in high-humidity environments. 🚩

NOVA features a relatively independent vestibule. It can be pitched with trekking poles to create a sheltered cooking area protected from wind and rain; in heavy condensation conditions, about one-third of the vestibule can be rolled up to improve airflow 💨 and reduce moisture drip-back.

The goal of this upgrade is clear: to make NOVA more stable and more composed in real outdoor conditions.

What’s new:

1｜New color
Building on the original cool grey, we introduce Longsong Green—the green you see when waking up in a spring forest: a blend of sunrise light, morning mist, and moisture-rich vegetation.

2｜Vestibule load-bearing loop
The vestibule faces the largest wind exposure. A new mid-panel stake-out loop has been added to distribute stress more evenly in strong winds or complex terrain, bringing extra confidence.

3｜Refined fly geometry
The flysheet pattern has been re-engineered to better maintain its structure, even after rain or moisture, reducing sag and preserving interior space.

4｜Zippers & storage
All zippers are upgraded to YKK for smoother, more reliable operation in cold weather and frequent use. Pocket sizing has been refined for easier packing and faster access.

🏜️If you’re looking for a solo tent built for backpacking—one that’s truly light without sacrificing stability or durability, and remains dependable through wind, rain, condensation, and consecutive days of use—then NOVA is the right choice. 💯
