I have various tents, and I love the vern 1 pc. Not too heavy, single wall so very roomy. And my favorite thing is that it's quieter. Love it
I have the vern one and it's a really good tent. Good features. Such a glow in the dark zips. Double door. Mesh and solid door. Enough room. Nice little drying line on the inside. All round soild tent for the money
Hi, I’ve used the southern cross, suolo, Nortent vern 1 and a couple 3 season+ The hili is the definite winner and the reason why it’s the only 4 season tent I own now as nothing compares but unless you’re planning on going out in absolute snowstorms with mega high winds I think going for a 3+ season is fine. Before I had my hili I literally only had the terra nova voyager for about 3 years and was my year round tent and served me exceptionally well in bad conditions so it’s not always necessary to get the most expensive thing going if you’re not going to use it for that. If you are however then I would recommend the hili nortent vern 1 was super solid too and a good contender for half the price! Hope this helps! Happy camping 🏕️
After owning the Vern 1 for a couple of years now, I still love it, but it does take up about 40% of my 65L backpack and weigh 3kg. I can only imagine the Vern 3 would need splitting up between several people. If this really is just a scaled-up version, the build quality, ease of erection, and warmth are outstanding. Mine stood up to quite powerful Scottish coastal winds without breaking a sweat. There are nice small touches too, like the zips have glow-in-the-dark tabs. If you have the space and weight requirements covered, go for it.
Most people use tents that cant handle the same winds as the x-dome. Hell, alot of people rarely use a tent or tarp at all for the most of the trail. I saw so many x-mids on trail this year, but I didnt see problem with the mid not being ‘bombproof!. What was your disappointment? If you really want something bombproof, get a black label Hilleberg Soulo or a Nortent Vern, but it really is overkill for the PCT imo.
