After years of camping and gaining experience in all sorts of conditions, this is the tent I've dreamt about. Well done to Nortent for thinking outside of the box. Birthday coming up in April, and a new PC tent in my collection.

This is literally the tent I’ve been waiting for YEARS. This is the material I dreamt of, the antithesis to crap sleep in a see-through trash bag. Buying it asap.

The fact that you pitch it on a bit of rough heather covered ground wins me immediately as almost every other test or video I've ever seen of a tent has shown it pitched on a lovely flat grass lawn. All of my pitches look at least as rough as this one, some much worse, so well done on this.

Absolutely love the look and feel of this tent! I purchased it and have used it a couple of times and enjoyed it immensely…it isn’t perfect (no tent ever will be😉) but for me the pros far outweigh the cons! Good enough to pack on short trips and built like a tank and will last for many many years to come.

Im loving the Vern 1 and thanks to Nortent for sending it to me. I love thf look if this but i just wouldnt carry that weight far. It strikes me as a posdible winter hot tent that id mod with a stove and jack, knowing im not walking far but looking for a comfortable snow woodland camp.

Do you find it to be storm worthy enough for proper 4 season use? Like 50mph constant winds? I really like the low weight of it and the versatility with the optional pole,but then I'm a bit skeptical about it's bad weather performance with such low weight.

Just a note for those not used to pollycotton tents. Most PC tents are a blend of polyester 65% and cotton 35%. This gives the fabric excellent strength and amazing breathability. When it's cold outside the PC fibers contract and that makes the tent warmer. The same exact principle applies to hotter weather but in reverse, the fibres expand and you have a cooler more breathable tent. In severe rain and I've camped with my family in a PC tent in some crazy thunderstorms, the PC fibres absorb the water and expand to make it completely waterproof. When a PC tent is new I would recommend "weathering" the PC fabric. This is done by soaking the tent in your yard or camping in the rain and letting the tent dry naturally. Condensation is your enemy in the winter, therefore I will trade out my Hilleberg Staika for this tent. Let's see how it handles severe winds and snow loads.

Very cool! Did we get a weight? Nortent is really on the ball, up there with the best of them. Vern, the ideal 1-man tent, when you need last minute shelter on the high moors at dusk, in a storm. Lavvu's when the cumforts of a base camp are the objective. I'd be interested in Nortent's interpretation of a mini lavvu: just big enough so you can sit in an UL camp chair, outside the half-inner, but still under the closed flysheet (around 140-160cm height?). They're out there, but none are quíte right: don't trust their sturdiness; or no lower vents (but there's a stove-hole!); or the upper vents let the rain in... I vote Nortent takes a shot at that corner of the market!

Doesn’t seem to have an upper vent? Only zips from below and no rain cover for when zip is open. (I’m thinking that in very moist conditions the PC will still need good venting to stay dry inside- the end vents look rather small)

@@Fellmandave1 The existing Vern 1 Extreme is a 4-season tent with one less pole to carry' so I'm happy with that. Plus, the benifit of only needing one pole in a calmer pitching area. I think the extra pole on the Vern 1 PC here is to hold up all that heavy cotton, which will get heavier after extended heavy rain...

Completely waterproof and no need for any treatment. You will need to weather the tent by letting it get soaked and drying completely. This will tighten the weave of the PC fabric therefore adding to it's waterproofness.

Are the exclamation marks a reference to it being too heavy, or that your impressed at how light it is? Yes' it's heavy for a 1-man backpacking tent, but it's the lightest 4-season poly/cotton tent I've seen. Its nearest rival that I'm aware of is nearly double 7lb/3.2kg...

Yes, I agree it is heavy compared to other 1-person tents, but the fabric is what's adding the weight. OTOH, the fabric is much tougher than any of the fabrics on lighter tents and it's breathable, meaning that it's a single-skin, giving a larger internal ground space compared to any comparable 1-person tent.

@@rogibaerWhy poly Cotten though. In practice, the condensation will still be there. And a regular two personfour season tent still provides a lot of weather protection but is a lot lighter and for about the same price as this one person tent. If we are twisting arms, a double wall four season tent will retain as much heat as a signal wall PC tent due to the space in between the two layers, even though they are made of thinner material. And, for the same price and about the same weight, you can get a lightweight hot tent and a titanium wood stove which is going to provide a lot more warmth and utility in winter. If I’ve got 7 pounds to spare, a hot tent would be what I bring in winter. Without any other advantages, durability alone just doesn’t justify the price and weight of this tent. Again, condensation will always be an issue.
