That tent looks sooooo good. My only comment would be the door zip on both ends is on the same side if that makes sense. Wouldn't it have been better to put the zips on opposite sides. This would then give even more door opening options when the wind really starts to blow. I'm sure there must be a reason why Nortent didn't think of this or I'm missing something.
The Ly 1 looks extremely spacious and should make a good winter tent for that reason to start with. I look forward to more videos showing the details. Well done once more Nortent!
Another great looking tent. Looks like it would have a lot of interior headroom. What diameter poles are you using, and is there room to double pole for high wind conditions?
How does the doubling of poles install? Do you need to double up all the poles or just two reds or two blue poles etc. What is the standard tent configuration with single poles capable of withstanding in terms of wind strength? Where do the extra poles fit at the bottom of the tent and as they go over the tent are there additional clipping points on the tent for the additional poles or do you just use alternative clips for the second pole? Also the footprint sheet does that go into the entrance porches to provide a floor at the entrances.
Very interesting tent and setup! Nice to see this type of tent on a bigger size. Also, please check mispelling on “guidelines” and who’s idea was to put nonstopping birds chirping on the video?
Isn't this more or less the original Vern 2 with a more versatile door configuration? Not that there are anything wrong with that, I am happy to see you have not shelved that design completely. :)
Yes. Kind of. But with only 3 poles which also reduces the weight. Ly 2 is about 800 grams lighter than Vern 2. Of course Vern 2 is freestanding, etc.. Give and take with both of them.
A nice addition to the range! I do love a classic tunnel for all round use. Love the door flexibility and I assume on this you sleep across the width, not lengthwise ? What packed weights are they coming in at ? Atb Andrew
You are right, Andrew. You sleep across the width. Like Vern 2. Ly 2 is between 3500 grams and 3700 grams, max weight.. It comes with a total of 18 guylines in such a way that it should be able to adapt to most conditions. But it seems perhaps a bit overkill to supply pegs for all guylines. So, we have not decided on the number of pegs as a standard yet.
I have seen a few reviews of owners being out in high winds and their poles have bend and someone's snapped so i'm wondering if anyone knows where I can get 10mm poles from?
Hİ i see ther are so much similarity between hilleberg and nortent for example way of attach pols and material used for hooks and other . are there any pantent problem here aor all are normal design in both brand ??
I must say I am a little gutted that I bought the previous version of the Vern 1 (still in its packing unfortunately) before this mega version hit the shops. I would like to see a similar video from Nortent using version 1 to see how it fares in rough conditions
I had my Vern 1 back yesterday and pitched it out the garden to give it check over before getting out in the mountains with it and i'm really impressed.
Hi. Pack size is about 40x18x18 cm. But keep in mind that we intentially made the bag big in such a way that you easily would be able to pack the tent into the bag. You can compress it even further.
Amazing how Norway is so like the lake district. Thanks for sharing this. I see you were using the wind toppling the tripod indicator! I hope you had a great night in what is proving to be an excellent tent.
You're right, there are some striking similarities between the two places. Watching videos from the UK, I can't help but feel right at home! Haha, the "wind indicator" tells a story, yes.:-). Cozy, warm and comfortable night that definitely helped warm up my numb fingers. ;-). Thanks for the kind words about our Vern 1.
I have to say I'm loving the Vern 1 so far and I've had over 150 tents . Yes I was given it for review but if I think something has a problem, I'll tell people. It's been quite an eye opener to see some of the cynicism being directed at the Vern and Nortent generally. I think it's genuinely rattled some of the wild camping community using other Nordic brands. Don't get me wrong, some of these other well know names are in my top ten tents of all time but I'm somewhat amused by the reaction amongst owners/users. I think it will take some weeks or months of field use for some wild campers to 'trust the brand' and at that point I think we'll see some migration from other brands. After all we are talking about some great models here at half the price of similar spec models in the market. Interesting times and well done Nortent ! Andrew
I have bought 4 tents so far but always wanted a "premium" tent.... just couldn't justify the price of many of the options out there.... until now. This tent really is a game changer, which I felt compelled to pre-order in the UK. It offers everything I want, and most importantly, at a reasonable price 👍 Mine is now listed as shipping so I should have it any day now. If the videos I've seen so far are anything to go by (including the RU-vidrs who commented here) I'm going to be one VERY happy customer!
With over 150 tents under your belt, your genuine appreciation for the Vern 1 means the world to us at Nortent. We understand brand loyalty runs deep, and earning trust as a new player takes time. The "cynicism" you've observed is intriguing, and we share your belief that healthy competition elevates the entire industry. With that said. We firmly believe the Vern 1 offers exceptional value and performance, standing strong on its own merits. Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback, Andrew.
It’s very clear this tent has been designed ground up by people who camp themselves. The mesh vents, door peaks, clipped groundsheets to name just a few. In a crowded market, you have achieved innovation, functionality and value for money. Testament to your founder, well done guys
I never ever get a 1 man tent as way to small im 6'3 so always get 2man tent,like the Tarptent scarp 2man,kelty military tactical tent 2man, hilleberg staika. This tent from Nortent looks awesome so it definitely looks like my next purchase next month,great video and will watch out for Fellman Daves internal review 👍
I would do pretty much anything for a tent like this. Been looking at Hillebergs but haven’t bought because of condensation reviews. This looks like it’s the one!! Absolute quality.
@@NORTENT I don't own this tent - not me personally, we just tested on a river side and in the morning there was a lot of condensation inside (unfortunately I can't do more testing)
@@MoosebearAdventures It is always very humid alongside riverbanks. Especially at night. A tip is to move the camp a bit away from the river to awoid condensation during nighttime especially if there is no wind to circulate the air. Everything condensate here. Even the rocks on the ground. :-). Here is a link from our site that perhaps can be of help in regards to condensation in general. nortent.com/blog/polycotton-magic-wand
Any tent can get hammered by condensation, its the weather conditions/ the ground your on that dictates condensation. Its so annoying when some one makes a comment about condensation in a tent yet is ignorant to these facts. no offence meant btw
I know you built this for Northern Europe conditions, but I'm not sure if you realize how great of a worldwide sea kayaking tent this is. Ideal for setting up on bare rock, pointing it into the wind and just falling asleep with no worries. It would also appeal to the USA market for windy areas. However, for both sea kayaking and USA (or any lower latitudes) it would be best with a 20D fly (tripled silicone Nylon 66) and a 30 to 40D floor. If you build that, everyone living below 50 degrees North would consider this tent, as the weight starts to line up with the challenges the tent would meet. As it stands now, for what I just described, it's too heavy. You can already see people asking if it could be lighter. Keep it larger that the far too tiny Suolo and just use less robust materials. Honestly, a 30D floor that's protected by a 1.5mil polycryo groundsheet is the absolute sweet spot.
A great pole structure and so many practical features. The double door so great for wild camping and venting great for still nights. Do you had any plans to make a smaller, lighter version? Say 210-220 cm long and an inner max width of 100cm in the middle tapering to 60 cm at the ends? Could this make something around 2000g ?
I've been gradually adding to my tent collection over the years & had decided to stop buying more. After seeing several RU-vid videos, including this one, I couldn't resist getting this tent. Just preordered it with a footprint from Valley & Peak in the UK. Really looking forward to some adventures in it 👍 ⛺️ ⛰️🌲🚶♂️
Looks a nice tent, I use Vango tents here in Northern Finland. It would take a lot to make me change brands! I do modify my tents with double poles/stronger poles and other methods. Lately got a new Airbeam model so no broken poles but your tents look very strong.
