Built for Weather, Wind, and Stability
Aerodynamic Shelter Shape
The Vern 3 is shaped to handle harsh outdoor conditions. Its structure, anchoring options, and reinforced stress areas help create a stable shelter for wind, rain, and sudden weather changes.
- Aerodynamic profile for exposed outdoor environments.
- 14 Dyneema guylines for strong anchoring support.
- 24 aluminum Y-pegs included for secure pitching.
- Reinforced fabric areas help spread wind forces across stress points.
- Dyneema-reinforced exposed fabric areas for added durability.
Double-Poling Capability
Vern 3 is designed for double poling because it avoids traditional restrictive tent sleeves. This allows users to add extra pole support during fierce winds, surprise snowfall, and demanding weather.
- Useful during strong winds and sudden weather changes.
- Adds extra structure for exposed terrain.
- Supports a more adaptable shelter setup.
- Practical upgrade for winter, mountain, and preparedness use.
Ventilation and Condensation Control
Dense weatherproof tents need controlled airflow. Vern 3 includes six air valves to help move fresh air in and moist air out, reducing condensation buildup inside the outer flysheet.
- Two lower air valves at each end for fresh air intake.
- Four upper air valves above the entrances for moist air exhaust.
- Upper vents also help act as rain protection when entrances are open.
- Four entrances allow flexible airflow and shelter access.
- Useful in both cold-weather and warm-weather conditions.
Spacious Vestibules and Inner Tent
Vern 3 includes two spacious awnings / vestibules with room for backpacks, shoes, wet gear, and equipment. These spaces are also adapted for cooking and compact cooking equipment when the weather requires shelter.
- Two spacious vestibules for gear, boots, packs, and wet layers.
- Protected cooking space in the awning area.
- Inner tent fits three 190 x 60 cm sleeping pads plus gear and clothes.
- Inner doors can seal fully in cold weather.
- Mosquito netting allows airflow while keeping insects out.
- Four storage pockets help organize small gear inside.
Stove Jack Option for Cold-Weather Shelter Planning
Vern 3 is available with or without a stove jack. The stove jack version supports compatible tent stove use, helping turn a basic shelter into a warmer, drier, more livable space during cold-weather trips.
- Supports compatible tent stove setups when using the stove jack variant.
- Useful for cold-weather comfort and winter camping.
- Can help dry damp clothing and gear.
- Supports water heating and camp cooking.
- Strong fit for preparedness, hunting camps, and winter basecamps.
