UOG TOP PICK - Nordisk Oppland 2 LW Tent - We've singled out Nordisk's Oppland 2 LW as one of our top recommendations because it is the most spacious lightweight 2 person tent. This is an unbelievably spacious tent with a cavernous vestibule still only weighing 1.6kg. Perfect for cycle touring and bikepacking.
The Oppland is an impressively spacious tent with a classic design. It's amazing how Nordisk have kept such a low weight with such a large inner and vestibule. It makes this a great option for a versatile tunnel tent.

The additional footprint offers extra safety and comfort for protecting your inner tent and keeping your porch area dry. Two ventilations ensure optimal airflow.

Our Verdict
Nordisk's Oppland 2 LW Tent builds on the classic tunnel tent design with a three pole set up. These three poles are particularly stable in higher winds while still allowing lots of internal space. This model has a large inner cabin and huge vestibule that makes it much more enjoyable to use in poor conditions. The tent pitches in one with the inner already attached, this is a real bonus in wet conditions. The inner cabin is spacious enough for two plus kit. The vestibule is huge and certainly provides enough space to store kit, cook or simply shelter under when the weather isn't great.
The tent uses super lightweight, 10D silicone treated nylon for the fly sheet combined with a thicker 20D PU coated floor. This is one of the main factors that have allowed Nordisk to keep the weight down to a minimum. It is a great option if you are heading out into the wild with someone else as you get a super light but spacious shelter. However, if you are going to be pitching it on hard or rocky ground I would recommend a footprint as durability is sacrificed somewhat for the light weight.
