Information

Our lightest tent ever, optimized for 3-season mountain adventures at a minimum weight of just 1.5 kg.

The NORTENT Ly 1 3S is the ultimate expression of our "light, spacious and strong" philosophy. It is a robust and spacious, yet light tent, offering a surprisingly spacious sanctuary for the solo adventurer. This tent is the perhaps perfect choice for long distance treks into high mountains and remote wilderness where every gram in your pack matters, yet reliable protection remains non-negotiable.

While the Ly 1 3S shares the aerodynamic DNA of the original Ly 1, we have reimagined the layout for the 3-season adventurer. We have streamlined the design by reducing the total length to 195 cm and removing one vestibule. However, we have expanded the inner tent into this space. The result is a paradox. A tent that is shorter and lighter to carry, yet offers a larger, more comfortable sleeping area than its 4-season sibling.

The Ly 1 3S is designed with clean, minimalist lines that blend seamlessly with the natural environment. As a tunnel tent, it is remarkably easy to set up, an essential feature for solo hikers who need efficient shelter after a grueling day on the trail. With a little practice, the two-pole design can be pitched in just 3-4 minutes, allowing you to settle into a warm and secure sleeping bag swiftly. Despite its record-low weight, durability is never compromised; we have reinforced all high-stress areas with one of the world's strongest fiber, ensuring that your lightest gear is also your toughest.

Solutions

The flysheet of the Ly 1 3S is crafted from our premium, ultralight silnylon 66, ARCX -N150, engineered to be 100% waterproof while keeping your pack weight at a minimum. To ensure superior weather protection without the need for manual silicone treatments, we utilize an advanced sewing construction. The seams are made with a specialized thread that expands when wet to seal stitch holes naturally. Furthermore, we use cooled needles during production to minimize the size of the punctures in the fabric. This precision engineering results in a highly water resistant seam that is ready for the trail right out of the box.

In a very light, high performance tent, managing air circulation is the key to a comfortable night. Without proper airflow, moisture from your breath and body can condense on the inside walls of the flysheet. To prevent this, the Ly 1 3S is equipped with two large, dedicated air vents. One at each end of the tent, to create a consistent "through-draft" of fresh air.

Even with the removal of one vestibule to reach our record 1.5 kg weight, you still have flexible entrance options to enhance ventilation on warmer nights. The top air vent at the vestibule are designed to function as protective overhang, allowing you to leave the entrance open for maximum airflow while remaining shielded from the rain. This ensures you stay dry, well-ventilated, and comfortable, even when the mountain weather is at its most unpredictable.

The Ly 1 3S features one spacious awning (vestibule), providing ample room for your backpack, boots, and other essential equipment. Even in this very light configuration, the awning is carefully designed to be well-suited for cooking, giving you a sheltered space to prepare meals when the mountain weather turns sour.

Inside, you will find a surprisingly roomy inner tent. Although the total length of the tent has been reduced to 195 cm, our layout actually provides a larger sleeping area than the 4 seson version. It comfortably accommodates a large 198x68 cm sleeping pad, with additional space for your gear and clothing.

For the 3S version, the inner tent is crafted from our specialized 15D DWR breathable ripstop nylon. This high-tech, water-repellent fabric is engineered to protect you from drafts and potential condensation while keeping the weight at an absolute minimum. To ensure a constant flow of fresh air while keeping insects at bay, the doors feature a hybrid construction, half mosquito netting and half regular nylon. This design provides the perfect balance for 3-season use without the added weight of extra zippers and fabric layers.

Additionally, the inner tent is equipped with two large storage pockets, ensuring you can keep your headlamp, phone, and other small essentials organized and easy to find in the dark.

One of the standout features of the Ly 1 3S is its incredible open-air system. While we have removed one entrance to save weight, the primary side opening has been optimized for maximum impact. When you open the entire side of the tent, the Ly 1 3S transforms into something resembling a traditional Norwegian Gapahauk (open-front shelter). This design provides a completely unobstructed, panoramic view of the wilderness, allowing you to breathe in the mountain air directly from your sleeping bag.

This flexibility means that even on wet or harsh days, you can stay sheltered from the wind and rain while keeping the side open to enjoy the scenery. In severe weather, the tent should of course be closed completely for total protection. For those who want the ultimate ultralight experience, the inner tent can be removed entirely, reducing the weight to under 1 kg. This allows you to use the flysheet alone as a super light open shelter, perfect for those nights when you want to sit by a small campfire and feel the true essence of the wild.

The Ly 1 3S employs pole sleeves made from a thicker and more durable fabric compared to the ultralight nylon of the flysheet. This combination is crucial for achieving the low weight of 1.5 kg while greatly enhancing the tent's overall durability and resistance to wind.

In strong winds, the thicker fabric of the sleeves distributes the force along the entire length of the poles, rather than focusing stress on specific points of the lighter 3-season material. This even distribution helps to prevent tears and damage, ensuring the tent remains sturdy and intact under harsh conditions.

The thicker fabric of the sleeves also adds essential support and stability to the tent structure, working in tandem with the lightweight flysheet to create a more resilient shelter. The sleeves allow the poles to slide through smoothly, maintaining the tent's aerodynamic shape and improving its ability to withstand strong winds without adding unnecessary bulk to your pack.

By using thicker fabric for the sleeves, the Ly 1 3S ensures that external forces are evenly spread out, reducing the risk of damage and extending the tent's lifespan. This design choice enhances the tent's performance in challenging 3-season environments, providing solo hikers with superior protection and reliability in our lightest package ever.

If you need to make the Ly 1 3S even more robust, we have designed it to accommodate double poles. This feature is made possible through our own dedicated pole cup design, where the cups are crafted from flexible and durable nylon rather than standard ABS plastic.

While the primary mission of the Ly 1 3S is to keep your pack weight at a minimum, the true beauty of this design is the strategic flexibility it offers. Imagine you are planning a solo trip where you know the weather will be challenging, perhaps an exposed mountain route with howling winds. In these specific scenarios, double poling becomes your secret weapon.

By choosing to bring an extra set of poles for a specific adventure, you gain exceptional stability and adaptability to the unexpected. It’s not just about setting up a tent; it’s about  navigating the  elements. Whether you're contending with autumn gusts or embracing a surprise snowfall, double poling offers a practical solution that takes your solo adventures to the next level. You carry the 1.5 kg when every gram counts, and you reinforce it when the elements demand it.

Accessories

We offer an optional footprint for Ly 1 (390 g). Using a footprint can extend the lifespan of the floor and shield it from potential damage, though it isn't essential for the tent's functionality. The solid 40D floor on the inner tent is with its 5000 mm HH waterproof. While the tent functions effectively without a footprint, some individuals prefer using one to keep mud away or to cover the vestibule floor. Footprints may play a role in preventing moisture from the ground from condensing on the inner surface of the outer tent. Our available footprints cover the entire underside of the tent, including the vestibules

NORTENT aluminum pegs are made of an aluminum alloy that promotes the proper properties of tent pegs. A tent peg should be strong, endure a lot of stress, but at the same time be somewhat flexible so that it bends instead of breaking straight by too much stress. Our stakes are therefore made of an aluminum alloy in the 7000 series. This is perhaps the market's strongest aluminum alloy, where our alloy has a degree of 7001 aluminum.. This is a degree of aluminum that promotes what we believe are important properties of a tent peg. Strong, but at the same time somewhat flexible. Our featherlite pegs are our lightest and smallest pegs at 8 g, where our stonghold pegs are biggest and heaviest at 24 g.

An Amazingly Wise Book
Format: Paperback
Trauma, in fact, intergenerational trauma that has not been metabolized, is a recipe for racism. As a psychotherapist with over 50 years addressing trauma and the need for decolonization therapies that go far beyond what is customarily taught in universities, My Grandmother's Hands is the clearest guide I have come across to help suffering individuals "grow up" as Resma Menakem respectfully says. This is a profound, wise, brilliant, compassionate, and exceptionally insightful effort to confront our body's pain as well as that of our families, communities, and our American culture. When we grow as individuals we will also grow as communities -- what Martin Luther King Jr. referred to as "the beloved community."

A must read for therapists and everyone else
Format: Paperback
As a psychologist who works primarily with individuals in marginalized communities, I see a lot of clients who have experienced historical, intergenerational, developmental and ongoing current trauma, often as a result of systems of oppression (racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc.). I was very excited to dive into training in somatic experiencing (SE), a "bottom up" approach to trauma treatment that recognizes the ways that traumatic experiences get stored in the body, and therefore need to be healed through the body. However, I was disappointed to find that most of the books on SE, as well as the trainings themselves, rarely if ever mention racism or other systems of oppression and the trauma they cause. This was such a disappointment to me, especially given that racial trauma is so prevalent in the everyday lives of my clients and perpetuated daily by the current political climate. Therefore I was thrilled to discover this book. Resmaa Menakem filled in the gap I was feeling in the SE literature, applying somatic experiencing to racial trauma and the ways that racism impacts the bodies of white people, black people (and all people of color), and those who are charged with "serving and protecting" us, the police. This book was a huge eye opener for me. Not only did it give me compassion for my own white body and the ways that trauma has been metabolized and passed on from white folks to POC through the mechanisms of white supremacy, but it gave me new and more embodied ways to understand the lives of people of color and work effectively with my POC clients. It also gave me new compassion for cops, who, through their own trauma responses and the effects of white supremacy, are now more like soldiers whose mission is to control and suppress black and brown bodies. Although I will continue to feel outrage and grief at every unnecessary police killing of an innocent man or woman of color, this book helped me to remember that we are all impacted by centuries of white supremacy conditioning and that cops need and deserve healing around racial trauma too. I highly recommend this book to therapists and healers, especially those who work with individuals in marginalized communities. Each chapter provides exercises to embody the learning in the chapter, so that healing is happening not just from the top down, but from the bottom up. There are exercises for individuals and groups, for white bodies, POC bodies and police bodies. The book is extremely timely and relevant and should be required reading for anyone wanting to understand more about the history and current conditions of racism in America, its impacts, and how to heal.

Think of racism as a moral failing isn’t helpful. Instead, think of it as a trauma response.
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
If we are willing to stop and listen to the voices of these people, both in the streets and in their writings (for generations now), we will hear them tell us their experience. And their experience is horrific. Some of us will turn away, finding solace in justifications (“He should have complied!”) or distancing (“My family was poor too. None of my family owned slaves.”) But if we care about a sustainable future for our country, if we have the smallest shred of a sense of responsibility for our neighbor, or if (like me) we claim to follow Jesus, the one who taught us to love our neighbor as ourselves, and to put other people’s lives before our own, then we must listen. In My Grandmother’s Hands, Resmaa Menakem comes to this conversation from a different and very helpful angle. He suggests that three groups are clashing in our country today: black-bodied people, white-bodied people and police. He suggests that the animus, reactivity, and often explosive violence between these groups is in fact the result of unprocessed trauma. He digs deep into the story of each of these groups to demonstrate the primary and secondary trauma each group carries. Then he talks about the process of trauma retention and how, if we fail to understand and process our trauma, we inevitably become less flexible, more reactive, and more violent. He suggests that the solution to our problem is not solely in education, awareness or even new policies, but in becoming more aware of our bodies, learning how to handle and process trauma, and becoming more resilient in our interactions with other traumatized people. This is the first book about racial injustice that I’ve read where I finished feeling like I could actually make a difference. I’m not a policy maker. I’m not able to be a regular front-line activist. I don’t have piles of money to spend at Black-owned businesses. It’s easy to feel like my small contribution can’t possibly make a real difference. But Menakem suggests a path that any one of us can walk--coming to terms with our own experience of racialized trauma -- and this will open up the path for other ways we can be a part of creating a more just, compassionate, and equal society.

Enlightening, transformative, maybe even life-changing
Format: Paperback
I would have to say that this is an interactive book. As I was reading this with a group, reading one or two chapters at a time, it was possible to do all the exercises. I did not do them all, but must say it was an eye-opening experience. The basis premise of the book is that we carry trauma in our bodies, and that we respond to issues of race, first and foremost, in our bodies, as a visceral response. And, as so many of our experiences originate early in life, these responses are often immediate and unconscious, and thus, this book requires a great deal of interior work. It's worth every moment of it. I remember clearly, that before I had finished the introduction, I felt rage- actual rage. And for a person who considers herself balanced and rather low-key this was quite astounding. And this rage continued to surface. Let me just say that this book makes you explore unexamined parts of yourself, if you will let it. Expect to feel uncomfortable, and if you push through it, you may be different when you get to the other side...

Don't Forget Grandmother's Feet!
Format: Kindle
A very idealistic approach in dealing with the racial trauma that is very much alive in America. I like the way the author built the narrative based on his grandmother’s unspoken experiences in her life which was exemplified by the condition of her hands (and feet). The author made references to the trauma being in our bodies, which was different. The only issue I had with this book is where the author tried to equate the trauma that White folks experienced in Europe before coming to America with the plight of Black folk that is ongoing. How did White folks overcome their trauma? Prosperity! I believe that there is a correlation between our trauma as Black folk and reparations and why this country is so adamant about not giving us reparations…because it will help to offset our trauma, and they don’t want us healed. However, if they are inclined towards healing, then this book makes some practical suggestions (and exercises) to do so; for Whites, Blacks, and even the PO-lice.
