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.

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.
