I have one of the original ones and bought it myself from V+P , I think the problem was Nortent gave to many away free to influencers who proceeded to try to compare it to other tents twice the price . I love my vern and will stick with it for many years to come . Fair play to Nortent for replacing the poles to heavier ones 👍. Also Valley and Peak top class for customer service 👌. I buy all my tent stuff there . Cheers guys .
very fair review...if you want to go winter wildcamping in UK, the vern 1 is more than capable, but I wouldn't want to go out in the 10% most extreme weather conditions, so it's perfect for me. Absolutely love it, it's a great tent for the price.
perfect description there. its perfect for my usage and gives me that bit of reassurance that if it gets windier during the night it will handle it no issues. i'll never storm chase in it and as mentioned, if its looking to be bad weather i'll keep my pitch lower down than up on the tops. being tall this was the better option than a soulo and gave me that bit of extra room to open the doors out and be able to sit there when cooking etc without stopping down. i swapped the pegs for eastons that i got from yourselves too to help keep the weight down a little.
Exactly that. I always recommend seeking a more sheltered spot if the winds pick up. It's a great choice of tent for tall people and, like you say, a lot more spacious than the Soulo. Thank you for watching.
Is there a way of pitching the footprint and tent together? Ive seen people do it in other videos where there seems to be a red toggle? But I cant see one on the one I received.
Just received the tent from you guys, should the tent have come with seam sealant? As ive seen a few vids of people receiving seam sealant with their vern 1.
see wish i could afford this tent, seems a good alround tent IMO vmight have to try sell the terra nova quassar i got ha! as that weighs 4.5kg! not ideal weight to carry!
@ValleyandPeak yea mean I can't wait to check this tent out as there £800/£1100! But when I can afford the vern tent I may end up getting one unless someone was kind enough to lend me one 😊 some day
Yes if you get in touch with Nortent they will send out upgraded 9.5mm poles free of charge. If you bought from another supplier you may have to liase with them
The PC version is made out of a mixture of Polycotton and cotton resulting in a much heavier fabric than the ripstop silnylon 30D version seen in this video.

I think you made more sense than you think, Dan. A good appraisal of a strong tent that doesn't cost the earth. Good job 👍
Thank you for your comment. We believe it's an excellent tent.

Thanks for your refreshingly honest review
I've been looking at these tents myself. Thank you for not doing the bog stand Vern vs Soulo comparison 😴
Brilliantly put. I have this tent and i think its a brilliant tent.
Love your choice of wording without saying!!!👍

Good vid mate
Great video! Thank you for sharing!

The updated Vern 1 (which you will have) doesn't require seam sealing.
see wish i could afford this tent, seems a good alround tent IMO vmight have to try sell the terra nova quassar i got ha! as that weighs 4.5kg! not ideal weight to carry!
It's a great all-rounder. I do believe the price is extremely competitive. Well, worth a look.

@@Airlessmean Vern1 is £565 with the footprint from V&P…? 🤷🏻♂️
Hopefully I’ll be getting mine this Friday from you guys?…….hopefully 😂
Good choice! Let us know how you get on.
I got this tent when it was released in the UK, is it true I can now get thicker poles ?
Yes, the tent now comes with 9.5mm poles as standard.

Whats the difference between this and the PC version? As the website says the PC comes in at 3.5 kg.
