NORTENT Lavvo 6 Expedition Tipi Tent
THE NORTENT LAVVO 6 IS A VERY FLEXIBLE 4 SEASON TIPI EXPEDITION TENT
The Sami in Norway have through generations been in close contact with nature and has always sworn to the tipi for protection against the harsh weather. This is also our inspiration when designing our lavvo which is a Norwegian version of a tipi. NorTent lavvo 6 is a very flexible 4 season tipi. And is the result of a desire to develop a light tent that can be used in every situation.
From family excursions to demanding walks in mountains and forests where comfort, flexibility, spaciousness and reliability are important factors. This tent like all our tents is made of what we think is one of the most hardwearing and robust lightweight fabric, silnylon. This super light is relatively expensive. But in return, you have a light tent that will withstand most of what Mother Earth has to offer. If you choose our inner tent together with Lavvo 6, you have an ultraflexible tent you can trust.

FEATURES OF THE NORTENT LAVVO 6 EXPEDITION TIPI TENT
- We have removed the traditional smoke opening found in many tipis because it's rarely needed. When you're on an expedition, you want a tent that’s quick to set up. A campfire inside a tipi often results in a smoky and unpleasant experience before the fire settles—not exactly the idyllic atmosphere you imagined. Instead, we've replaced the smoke opening with a pipe hole for a wood-burning stove, offering warmth without the downsides of an open fire. The stove also serves as a reliable place to heat water and cook meals.
- At NORTENT, we prioritise lightweight yet robust gear. Paired with our titanium, foldable wood stove, this tipi provides a warm, safe, and durable shelter for all seasons, whether you're deep in the forest or high in the mountains.
- Our tipi is lower than traditional designs to balance comfort with aerodynamics. With a height of 226 cm and a diameter of 426 cm, we’ve designed it with a steeper angle to direct wind up and around the tent, reducing pressure on the flysheet. Unlike standard tipis with 6 to 8 edges, ours features 20 reinforced fastening points along the flysheet, creating an aerodynamic cone shape that enhances stability in strong winds. The Silnylon flysheet ensures exceptional durability and weather resistance.
- For most conditions, additional guy lines aren't needed, but we've included 10 guy-out points for extreme weather. The tipi can be securely anchored using our 20 stake points and flexible stake-out system. In harsh conditions, the sod skirt allows you to pile snow, dirt, or stones around the base for extra stability. However, never leave your NORTENT Lavvo 6 unattended during heavy snowfall—accumulating snow can damage the tent.
- Our materials are highly durable, waterproof, and lightweight. However, good ventilation is essential to prevent condensation. The Lavvo 6 features two low air vents and a high-mounted rear vent to promote airflow. On particularly humid days, the two entrances can be used to further regulate ventilation. Both doors include mosquito netting, allowing you to enjoy bug-free airflow on warm summer nights.

Inner tent
If you add a high quality inner tent in your Lavvo, you will be able to control not just the temperature, but the indoor air quality as well. In addition to this the ground beneath you, were you may sleep, eat and live, will stay dry all day long, no matter how much rain that’s hammering towards your tipi. Our own stove alongside our inner tent will do the trick to create a incredible warm, dry and sheltered tent life no matter what time a year. The inner tent itself can be opened up to easily access the woodstove.
We have designed the tent in a way that makes it possible for you to store your backpacks, clothes, shoes and so on just a arm’s length outside the inner tent entrance. Here, with the heat from our woodstove, all your humid equipment can dry up any time a day. Furthermore, there is a smaller room behind the inner tent where you can store up things like wet shoes. Of course this storage space is also sheltered from weather and wind. Our Inner tent is made of the super light material “Ripstop Nylon” which is also breathable.

Floor
We have designed the NORTENT Lavvo 6 to be a very flexible tent. We know different people have different needs, wishes and necessities when it comes to shelter when hiking in mountains and woods. Some prefer to use the tipi without any inner or floor. Others may prefer just the inner, and some would prefer the tent with all possible available solutions. Because of this we have made a tent where you choose your soultions as needed where you are able to choose if you want a floor for the Lavvo. The floor makes the tent a partial enclosed shelter for protection against insects and moisture from the ground below. NORTENT Lavvo 6 has mosquito netting in all the openings where you are completely shielded even if both door-openings in the tipi is open. This gives a very spacious impression . Our floor can also be used with the NORTENT ultralight foldable stove.

If you want to go even lighter, the Carbon pole for the NORTENT Lavvo 6 may be the right choice for you. It is about 2/3 weight (300 grams less) of the standard center-pole of aluminium, with somewhat same strength. The center-pole is adjustable to easily fit the length of the tent even with uneven ground, etc.
