History of Terra Nova & Wild Country Tents

Founded in 1980, Terra Nova started as a winter gear brand, producing the first ever thermal gloves. After a few years of success, the famous Quasar tent was introduced, and Wild Country bought Wintergear. Terra Nova merged with Wild Country and launched their first range of tents a few years later in 1999.

From the get-go, Terra Nova and Wild Country produced top quality, stand-out expedition gear and were awarded their first Guinness World Record in 2004 for the world's first 1kg tent. Continuing to strive for greatness, the brand acquired three more Guinness World records in the 10 years that followed.

In 2025, the brand will celebrate 40 years of business and continue bringing new and innovative products to the outdoor market, branching into rucksacks, cycling accessories and hiking essentials for any adventure.
