Extra strength when conditions demand it
Nortent says:
If you need extra poles for your Vern, oh, absolutely! Vern is designed for double poling, a feature made possible by ditching traditional tent sleeves. Imagine yourself in the thick of challenging weather, relentless winds threatening to disrupt your shelter or sudden weather changes. Double poling becomes your secret weapon, providing unmatched stability and adaptability.
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 a surprise snowfall, double poling offers a practical solution that takes your adventures to the next level when it comes to adapting to the elements.
Our Verdict
The Vern 1 3S DAC Pole Set gives you a full set of 8.7mm DAC NFL aluminium poles that can either replace the original set or be used alongside them for double poling. At 446g, I would only carry the second set when I knew conditions were likely to be severe.
The real advantage is how the Vern is designed to accept two pole sets without traditional sleeves, making double poling much less awkward. In strong wind or heavy snow, that extra structure can make a noticeable difference to stability.
For normal use, one pole set is more than enough, but I like that the option is there when you want to push the tent into harsher conditions.
