Extra strength when conditions demand it
Nortent says:
If you need to make your Ly 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.
Our Verdict
The LY 1 Pole Set gives you a full set of 9.5mm DAC aluminium poles that can either replace the original set or be used alongside them for double poling. At 683g, I would only carry the second set when I knew conditions were likely to be severe.
The real advantage is Nortent’s pole-cup design, which allows the LY 1 to accept two pole sets without relying on traditional sleeves. That makes double poling much more straightforward, while adding useful structural support in strong wind or heavy snow.
For normal use, one pole set is more than enough, but I like that the option is there when you want to give the tent extra support in harsher conditions.
