Pitching our Vern 1. Vern 1 is a freestanding tent which means there are several different methods to pitch it. The setup in the video is a suggested method for pitching in strong winds.
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.
Very interesting tent. Would love to see more details on their website. For instance, the inner dimensions. And perhaps more detailed photos of the vents, the pegs, the nice guy line toggles. There is plenty that's not shown in detail. I wouldn't be surprised to see this tent A LOT in RU-vid video. Especially for (possible) bad weather hikes and winter hikes.
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.
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.
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 ?
Hello an good morning. Has the tent being wind tested?? If it has could you make this available please 👍. I live in Pembrokeshire Wales, were are weather is changing.. Eg storm force winds. So on the hills, sometimes hard to get a good tent. Thanks for any feedback.
Hello. We develop and test our tents based on real world use. Vern has been thorough used and tested through 4 seasons with gusts up to 30 m/s.(violent storm). Hope this helps.
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 ??
The Nortent Vern 1 (new) is not seam sealed from the factory "The flysheet is 100% waterproof. But like every other quality tent with this type of fabric the seams will increase their waterproofness and strength if to be lubricated with a mix of silicone. You may choose not to do this as the seams are already very waterproof when you receive the tent from us But hey. Why not..."
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.
@@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
