Nordisk says:
Our best-in-class tunnel tent has taken a quantum leap forward with a complete redesign.
The Oppland has been the-one-to-beat for years and we keep on developing this masterpiece hiking tent. Last year, we improved the PU fabric itself – this year, we have improved everything else; components, architecture, features, openings, compatibility, ventilation… you name it. Our Oppland PU tents are no longer just the beginner’s choice – it is a true force to be reckoned with.
This is the perfect tent when looking for a compact 2-person tent without compromising on comfort or the need for space. The aerodynamic tunnel construction is outer pitched and adds great wind stability to the tent. We have increased the angle on the tunnel arch dramatically, thus giving a much bigger sense of space, especially for sitting near the walls. By adding pole-socks in one side, the Oppland PU-series is now easier than ever to pitch; one person can easily insert the poles without having to go back and forward from side to side to secure the poles in little steel rings. We have increased the height on the entrances, making it much easier to get you and your luggage in and out and also gives you a much better look out at nature from the inside. In fact, you can unzip the entire front end for a full 180º view outside. But the flexibility doesn’t end here; there are 4 different front opening modes to suit weather conditions and your personal privacy preferences. Improved tensioning and ventilation systems makes your new Oppland stand, look and feel better than ever. Inside there is plenty of room for two people with gear and lots of equipment. There are multiple storage pockets and ceiling cords – and the porch provides plenty of extra room for storage and cooking. Or it can be used as an extra living area if used with the matching footprint. The tent is constructed with aluminum poles and a strong PU rip-stop fabric, to give you a sturdy and long-lasting quality tent that be begging you for new adventures. Over and over again.
Our Verdict
The Nordisk Oppland 2 PU Tent is a top choice for adventurers seeking durability and spaciousness in a compact package. This tunnel tent, known for its robust three-pole design, offers exceptional stability even in windy conditions, making it ideal for mountainous terrain and base camp setups. However, it may be a touch on the heavy side if you plan to take it into the mountains, especially if you intend to use the tent solo.
The increased angle of the tunnel arch significantly enhances the sense of space, especially when sitting near the walls. Pitching the tent is remarkably easy, thanks to the addition of pole socks on one side, allowing a single person to set it up without hassle. The height of the entrances has been raised, making it easier to get in and out and offering an impressive 180-degree view when the front is fully unzipped.
The tent's large porch is perfect for gear storage and cooking, with multiple opening modes to suit various weather conditions and privacy preferences. Inside, the Oppland offers ample room for two people, their gear, and possibly a dog. It has plenty of storage pockets and ceiling cords for organisation. The aerodynamic tunnel construction ensures excellent wind stability and ventilation, making it a comfortable and practical choice for long-term use.
Overall, the Nordisk Oppland 2 PU Tent combines user-friendly features with superior design and durability, making it a reliable and versatile option for any serious hiker or camper. Whether heading into the hills or setting up a base camp, this tent promises a comfortable and stable shelter for all outdoor adventures. Also, you are getting a lot of tent for the price.
