Probably the lightest tent in the world

With a race weight of a mere 490 g Lofoten is probably the lightest tent in the world – and with a pack size of only 11x22 cm it is definitely the smallest when packed! Tipping the scale for a fully functional two layer tent the bar has once again been pushed for light weight enthusiasts.

Size does matter
The modern trekker or adventurer demands her gear to be small, light and fully functional. The new ultra light weight Lofoten 1 ULW from Nordisk meets all of those demands. It is a fully functional two layer tent complete with both durable and weather resistant flysheet and a breathable inner tent. The complete race weight of the tent is a mere 490 grams making it probably the lightest tent on the market.

Probably the lightest tent in the world Lofoten is ideal for any outdoor adventure where you strive to keep the weight and pack size low but still want a tent that is easy to pitch, has a spacious cabin and can endure the weather you encounter in the outdoors.

Cutting edge materials
Nordisk has attained the record breaking low weight by using new innovative materials like the ultra light 7-denier flysheet with an extremely strong performance/weight ratio. It is made of 100% rip-stop nylon which has been coated with silicone on both sides through a unique coating technique that ensures a flexible yet very strong fabric. The flysheet has a hydrostatic head of 1600 mm where the ground sheet reaches 3500 mm. More than enough to keep you dry – and not too much to keep a high breathability of the fabric.

Ultra short poles
The small pack size is achieved partly due to using shorter, foldable aluminium poles constructed in the very strong 7001/7.5 mm aluminium. The guy rope is the ultra strong Dyneema 1.2 mm – a slim and lightweight yet very durable and strong guy rope. To top it all Lofoten is equipped with five ultra light Titanium Tooth Pegs designed for grounding under race-like conditions.
