NORTENT Ly 2 is an extremely robust tent with plenty of room for 2 people along with equipment and cooking. Very suitable for longer hikes into the wilderness far away from houses and cabins where you really need reliable protection against the elements. With its aerodynamic shape and many possibilities for anchoring the tent to the ground, this tent is a true friend that will keep you safe in various weather conditions. We believe you should not have to fight the elements but rather become one with and thrive in them.
Ly 2 is designed to provide clean and correct lines that blend in with nature. As a tunnel tent, Ly 2 is incredibly easy to set up quickly and effortlessly, making it ideal for those long walks in the outdoors with a reliable shelter for the night.. With a little practice, you should be able to set up the tent in just 3-4 minutes, allowing you to quickly crawl into a warm and safe sleeping bag. Additionally, as a tunnel tent, the Ly 2 requires only three poles, reducing the overall weight and making it easier to carry.
All exposed areas on the outer fabric are reinforced with Dyneema, which is considered the world's strongest fiber. It is therefore entirely appropriate that we use this fabric fiber in our tents.
The flysheet made of silnylon is of course waterproof. However, like all high-quality tents with this fabric, the seams can be treated with a special silicone mixture to ensure they are completely waterproof. This is not mandatory, but it's a good idea. One challenge with a waterproof tent is air circulation. Without proper airflow, condensation can build up on the inside walls of the outer flysheet (not inside the inner tent). Ventilation is crucial to prevent this.
To address this, Ly 2 is equipped with two large dedicated air vents at each end of the tent. Additionally, you can enhance ventilation by utilizing the four flexible entrances. The two top air vents also serve as extra overhangs, providing protection against rain when you leave the entrance open. This design ensures that you stay dry and comfortable inside the tent.
Ly 2 has two very spacious awnings where there is plenty of space for a backpack, shoes and other equipment. At the same time, the awnings are well adapted for cooking and use of cooking equipment. At the awning you will find a spacious inner tent with plenty of space for two persons (and perhaps a child) where the inner tent easily accommodates two 190x65 cm sleeping pad in addition to gear and clothes. For cold days you can seal the doors in the inner tent completely. For hot days you can open them, but still and at the same time, have mosquito net covering the entrances against insects.
We have equipped the inner tent with a total of 4 storage pockets so that you can keep all your small stuff and gear in order..
You can open all four entrances to bring "nature" into the tent. On wet and harsh days, the design of the tent still provides shelter from the weather and wind with the entrances open. In really stormy weather, you may prefer to close it completely. But still, there is of course the possibility of doing all your cooking in the awning.. Ly 2 is designed for flexible use where you are presented with many different options to let nature into the tent, but at the same time be protected from wind and rain. The Ly 2 also includes an open-air system, enabling you to fully roll up both sides of the tent for a more immersive experience with nature. This design lets you enjoy the outdoors while still being sheltered.
Ly 2 utilizes sleeves for attaching the poles.The sleeves for the poles are made from a thicker and durable fabric compared to the thinner nylon fabric of the flysheet. This combination significantly enhances the tent's durability and wind resistance.
When strong winds act on the tent, the thicker fabric of the sleeves distributes the force along the length of the pole, rather than concentrating stress at specific points. This even distribution reduces the risk of tearing and damage, ensuring that the tent remains robust and intact under harsh conditions.
Additionally, the thicker fabric of the sleeves provides extra support and stability to the tent structure. It works in conjunction with the nylon flysheet to create a more resilient shelter. The sleeves allow the poles to slide through smoothly, maintaining the tent's aerodynamic shape and enhancing its ability to withstand strong winds.
By using sleeves with thicker fabric, Ly 2 ensures that external forces are evenly spread out, minimizing the risk of damage and extending the tent's lifespan. This design choice enhances the tent's performance in challenging environments, offering superior protection and reliability.
If you need to make Ly 2 even more robust, we have designed it to accommodate double poles. This feature is made possible through our own dedicated pole cup design where our cups are made of flexible and durable nylon (not ABS plastic). Imagine standing in unforeseen and challenging weather, with persistent wind threatening to make your stay uncomfortable. Using double poles provides exceptional stability and adaptability to the unexpected.
With the freedom to double up on poles and the elimination of restrictive sleeves, you gain a significant advantage in creating an ultra-secure shelter. It's not just about setting up a tent; it's about confidently navigating the unpredictable elements. Whether you're contending with fierce winds or embracing a surprise snowfall, double poling offers a practical solution that takes your adventures to the next level in terms of adapting to the elements.

We offer an optional footprint for Ly 2 (480 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 thick and solid 70 D floor on the inner tent is both waterproof and puncture-proof. 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.
At Nortent, we are committed to delivering premium tents built to withstand the test of time. With our Ly series, we go the extra mile by offering free seam sealing on the main seams to further enhance performance. The seams are already highly durable and water-resistant, but this additional step significantly boosts their long-term waterproofness and durability, ensuring your tent remains strong for years of adventures ahead.
Silnylon, known for its strength and lightweight properties, presents a unique challenge: its seams cannot be taped to achieve waterproofing like those on other, less expensive fabrics. That’s why creating dense, water-resistant seams on silnylon requires more than just high-quality materials—it demands precision sewing techniques and exceptional craftsmanship. Seam sealing can only be performed and applied manually by hand where we focus on sealing the main seams because these are the most exposed areas. And although you could do this yourself, we take care of it for you to ensure optimal performance from the start.
Over time, silnylon tents from any manufacturer can experience pinhole expansion in the seams. Our seam sealing service addresses this issue, reinforcing these critical seams and preserving their original strength and waterproof capabilities, even after prolonged use in harsh environments.
This service highlights our commitment to quality and customer care. We understand that a tent is a long-term investment, and our goal is to ensure that your tent remains reliable and performs just as well in the future as it did on day one. Very few manufacturers offer this level of service, but we believe in going above and beyond to deliver a product that is ready for countless outdoor adventures.
By offering seam sealing directly from our factory, we remove the hassle for our customers while adding an extra layer of durability. This dedication to craftsmanship and attention to detail makes an already outstanding tent even better, so you can enjoy the outdoors with complete confidence.
