Nordisk says:
We have updated our cherished classic. Oppland 2 PU is a great tent when looking for something compact without compromising on comfort or the need for space. The aerodynamic tunnel construction is outer pitched and adds great wind stability to the tent. Oppland 2 is easy to pitch and easy to pack down – and it is equipped with a large vent at the front and one at the rear end creating an excellent indoor climate. Inside there is plenty of room for two people with gear and lots of equipment – and the porch provides plenty of extra room for storage and cooking. Or it can be used as an extra living area if used with the matching footprint. The tent is constructed with aluminum poles and a strong PU rip-stop fabric, to give you a sturdy and long-lasting quality tent that be begging you for new adventures. Over and over again.
Our Verdict
The Oppland range of tents has been Nordisk's flagship tent for years; it has been redesigned to improve the livability and ease of pitching in its latest incarnation.
This is a big tent, perfect when you are looking for a compact tent with ample gear storage and premium comfort; Nordisk has streamlined the design of this tent to make it as user-friendly and livable as possible. It is pretty heavy, but if you are prepared to carry it up into the mountains, you will have a solid and stable home in the hill, but this tent also excels as a base camp from which to embark on your adventures. The Oppland is an easy-to-pitch tunnel tent; the aerodynamic design works well in strong winds and offers plenty of ventilation.
Pitching is very simple; it's an outer pitch first; the first time you pitch the tent, you will need to attach the inner tent; however, you will only need to do this once; after that, the inner and outer will pitch together. The poles are colour coded and quickly slip into the "pole sock" on one side of the tent. On the other side of the tent, the pole is held with a plastic "cup"; this securely holds the pole, which means one person can easily pitch the tunnel tent. Once the poles are inserted, the tent is pulled taught and pegged in. simple.
The large porch has two entrances, a small discreet front door that can be used to enter and exit quickly and a large oversized door on the side that's good for getting gear in and out. The entire porch wall can be opened up to invite the outside into your tent, you still have decent rain coverage, so this is a fantastic place to hang out and cook without having to be confined to the tent in lousy weather, but this is just as good in warm weather, helping to cool the tent and providing shade.
The internal tent is vast; the door is enormous and stretches to the very roof of the internal cabin; this makes getting in and out of the tent easy and opens up the view to the outside of the tent. Four large pockets help organise gear and make the tent feel more homely.
