The Nordisk Svalbard 1 SI (2.0) Tent is a technical one-man tent for those looking for a combination of stability, low weight, good ventilation and usable interior space. It is particularly suitable for mountain hiking, longer trekking tours, bikepacking and outdoor adventures where the tent needs to function in varying and sometimes demanding weather.
Svalbard 1 SI is Nordisk's strongest single-person tent. The aerodynamic design and two intersecting tent poles create a stable shelter with good ability to handle strong winds. At the same time, the tent weighs only 1,750 grams and packs down to a compact 15 × 45 cm .
The updated 2.0 version is designed to be quick and easy to set up. Four pole pockets combine with pole hooks, allowing the poles to be quickly positioned and the tent to be pitched without a complicated assembly procedure.
The tent's design provides an actual seating height of up to 100 cm in the inner tent . The high foot end also creates more space around the sleeping bag and reduces the risk of sleeping equipment being pressed against the walls of the inner tent.
The inner tent is 260 cm long and 115 cm wide , which provides plenty of lying length and space for equipment next to the sleeping area. The smaller vestibule offers additional storage for shoes, backpacks and kitchen equipment, for example.
The front and back of the flysheet can be rolled away completely when the weather permits. This provides very good ventilation and makes it possible to open the tent on hot, dry days. The doors have practical storage pockets where they can be stowed away when open.
The Nordisk Svalbard 1 SI (2.0) has a well-thought-out pole construction with two lightweight and durable DAC Featherlite NSL aluminum poles . The poles are 9 mm in diameter and help the tent maintain its shape even when exposed to strong gusts of wind.
The low, streamlined profile reduces wind drag. For best stability, the tent should always be pointed into the wind, tensioned evenly, and anchored with all ground pegs and tent lines in exposed pitches.
Eleven Y-shaped aluminum pegs are included. The Y-profile provides good grip in varying terrain and helps keep both the tent fabric and ropes firmly anchored.
The flysheet is made of 40D ripstop nylon with a three-layer silicone coating. The silicone treatment is applied to both sides of the material and contributes to high tear strength, low weight and resistance to moisture.
The material has a water column of 3,000 mm and a rated tear strength of 15.1 kg. The ripstop construction helps limit damage in the event of a minor tear.
The Deep Forest Green color gives the tent a discreet and natural look that fits well in forests, mountains and other outdoor environments.
The Svalbard 1 SI has a double-walled construction with separate inner and outer tents. The air space between the tent panels helps create a more comfortable sleeping climate and reduces the risk of condensation on the inside of the outer tent coming into contact with the sleeping equipment.
The tent is pitched with the inner tent first. The outer tent is then attached with color-coded straps, which simplifies assembly and makes it easier to position the outer tent correctly.
The inner tent can also be set up separately in dry and warm conditions, providing an airy sleeping area with protection from insects and a better view of the surroundings.
Good ventilation is important in a compact one-man tent, so the Svalbard 1 SI has several options for adjusting airflow to weather and temperature.
Both the front and back of the tent can be rolled away completely in dry conditions, providing efficient airflow throughout and making the tent more comfortable on hot days.
When the outer tent is closed, ventilation openings and the distance between the inner and outer tents help to transport moist air out. For best ventilation, the tent fabric should be tensioned correctly and the openings kept free of packing, snow and vegetation.

Tours where a spacious one-man tent is desirable
Start by setting up the inner tent on the chosen pitch. Assemble the two DAC poles and check that all segments are fully joined.
Place the pole ends in the color-coded pole pockets and then attach the inner tent to the poles with the pole hooks. Place the flysheet over the structure and connect it to the color-coded straps.
Anchor the tent with ground pegs and tension the tent lines evenly. Check that there is an air space between the inner and outer tents and that no part of the tent fabric is hanging loose.
In strong winds, the narrowest end of the tent should be pointed towards the prevailing wind direction. Use all attachment points and check the anchorage regularly.
The inner tent's length of 260 cm makes the Svalbard 1 SI particularly interesting for tall people or users who want extra space at the head and foot end.
The technical pole construction provides more usable space than many traditional tunnel tents in the same size class. The high foot end gives the sleeping bag more space and reduces contact with the tent wall.
The vestibule provides space for shoes, smaller items and kitchen equipment. Cooking in or near a tent always involves a risk of fire and carbon monoxide. Therefore, only use a kitchen with very good ventilation and always follow the kitchen manufacturer's safety instructions.
Always let the tent dry completely before packing it away for extended storage. A damp tent can develop mold, bad odors, and damage the material coatings.
Clean the tent fabric gently with lukewarm water and a soft sponge. Do not use a washing machine, dryer, strong detergents or solvents.
Rinse tent poles and ground stakes after use near salt water. Dry all metal parts before storing.
Regularly check the tent fabric, floor, seams, ropes, pole segments and attachment points. Repair minor damage early to prevent it from becoming larger.
Store the tent dry, cool and preferably loosely packed when it is not to be used for a longer period of time.
Even a stable tent depends on proper setup and anchoring. The tent's ability to handle strong winds is affected by the location of the tent, wind direction, ground conditions, and how tight the tent lines are.
Avoid depressions where rainwater can collect and locations directly under dead branches or unstable rock formations.
A compatible footprint can be used to protect the tent floor from ground moisture, dirt, sharp rocks and wear. Footprint sold separately.
The tent is designed for one person and offers plenty of space for both sleeping equipment and smaller items.
