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 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.
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 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?
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
