We conceived of the LuminAID light when we were students at architecture school in New York City. A devastating earthquake had just struck Haiti, and we asked ourselves what we could design to help survivors of such an event. When we think of our most basic human needs, we often think of food, water, and shelter. But the stories we were hearing of the dangerous conditions at night in the tent cities inspired us to turn our attention to another critical need: light.
We designed an inflatable solar lantern that could pack flat to be cost-effectively distributed after disasters. The simple, rechargeable lantern is lightweight, easy to use, and serves as a safer alternative to hazardous candles or toxic kerosene for people without stable access to electricity. For ten years, we've worked with humanitarian partners across the world to send LuminAID lights to those who need them most.

You forget you’re wearing it
I have had a Terra Nova Compact for several years now and have used it on hiking, cycling and motorcycling trip and have found it to be a good compact tent except when it is windy when the sides billow in a lot.
The All Season is designed to have more rigid sides and generally succeeds, the greater internal space is good but there is no longer enough room in the vestibule for panniers or a rucksack but they do fit inside now.
I would still use the original Compact for hiking due to the weight saving but I am sure the AS is perfectly suitable for this as well.
This is a small upgrade on the Silva Expedition.
The baseplate is the same, and very usable. The needle seems to settle a little faster, and a must have declination adjustment.
What sold it to me was the overall appearance. It does look professionally made, with the nostalgic look of some of the very early Silva compasses that I used.
