Gear Review: Nordisk Asgard Tent
Excellent base camp solution
The Nordisk Asgard 12.6 is a classic, single wall, spacious bell cotton tent with room for up to 6 normal people. Or two hybrids together with two regular Ulfs (maybe a bit crowded, but we like to sleep in piles). The simple centre pole construction makes it easy to pitch and the tall sides offer maximum utilization of the floor space. The sides are equipped with ground level D-shaped windows the allows you to increase ventilation, light and view. Both windows and main entrance have mosquito nets so you can open up without being eaten alive. The cotton fabric keeps the interior cool and comfortable. A tailored zip-in groundsheet, tailored cabins and an extra high wall are all available as accessories.

To our surprise, the tent is completely waterproof somehow, and was able to withstand strong winds over 120kmh in the Arctic tundra.
