Where Nortent comes from (Norway)
Nordic inspiration • “Gamme” heritage
The Gamme concept is rooted in Norwegian and Sami shelter tradition—built for protection in harsh Arctic climates, then modernized into expedition-grade tents designed for real-world use.
Designed & tested in Norway
Nortent emphasizes Norwegian field testing and iterative refinement in severe conditions before production. That philosophy shows up in stability, layout, and storm-focused design.
