The NEMO Asashi offers 4 campers family-style comfort with all the quality and protection of a high-end backcountry shelter.

  • A highly efficient pole configuration provides spaciousness and near-vertical walls maximize usable space—Asashi is a touring wagon on a sports car chassis!
  • The door can be entered from either the left or right side and does not have to be unzipped entirely to gain access; door parts secure open with tie backs and snaps
  • Setup is straightforward thanks to contiguous pole sleeves, ball and socket attachments for pole ends and an intuitive, symmetrical design
  • Jake's Feet™ corner anchor system locks poles in place during setup and aids in tensioning out the floor
  • Storage is the name of the game here and Asashi doesn't shy away from the task; you'll find 4 interior pockets and 4 light-diffusing pockets
  • If that's not enough storage, unzip included vestibule and zip on an optional Garage™ vestibule (sold separately); big enough to set up beach chairs or store bicycles
  • Light yet strong DAC Featherlite® NSL poles are anodized without the use of harmful acids
  • Mesh canopy is perfect during warm evenings; catenary cut-aways in rainfly increase airflow through the tent
  • Reflective guyouts are illuminated in a headlamp's light
  • Save weight and create a minimalist shelter by using just the rainfly, poles and footprint (sold separately)
  • Pawprint™ interior liner (sold separately) converts two sleeping pads into a double bed
  • Includes rollup-style stuff sack, stakes, guyout cords, repair kit and spare Jake's Foot

Imported.

    Comments about NEMO Asashi 4 Tent:

    With all the attention focused on Nemo's Losi 3P the Asashi 4 is living in its shadow right now. I intended to grab the Losi and opted for the Asashi because of it's slight hike in size. To put this in perspective, I was also considering Big Agnes Big House 4.

    From my research it appears to share the same hardware and materials as the Losi and give you an extra foot of headroom and a bump from 50 to 68 sq ft.

    I'm a car camper and don't mind the extra 4+ lbs in weight - it's a decent tradeoff for the extra room. There's a ton of space and I prefer the openness - especially if I'm lodged into a bag.

    My only concern with the larger size is the extra exposure of Asashi's mesh material. Though the Asashi wasn't on display, I got to walk through the BA product. It appears to offer more privacy than the Asashi and I like the sunniness of the material. The Asashi looks sleek and striking with it's green rain gear.

    I have spent little time with the tent, so will revisit this comment when I get some mileage out of it over the next few months. Still, here's what I like:

    - A large tent that was easy for me to set up and tear down without help.

    - Incredible organization of materials and hardware within a single sack that rolls up like a sleeping bag. You can challenge yourself to set this up without directions. I'm an absolute novice and was able to get the tent up in about 15 min (first run)

    - Tear down took me 3 min, 46 sec (not including wrapping and packing the material - I have a touch of the OCD and wanted to take my time to fold and put away)

    - The rain cover took less than 1 min to unfurl and attach

    - I picked up the paw print and the tarp which adds to the comfort, but not really necessary. Everything snaps together perfectly

    - Quality of materials appears top grade

    - Like the oversize without feeling like I'm sleeping in a McMansion Tent

    - Storage pockets and lantern hook is plentiful and well designed

    Comments about NEMO Asashi 4 Tent:

    After a month on the road, I'm back with some notes. First, this tent is solid and it is a perfect companion for 2+ light backpacking and car camping. I opted for this over the praised Losi 3 because of the extra room and it was a good call. It was simple for me to set up alone, but the extra space paid off with 3 folks and a dog in the tent for part of my trip.

    I recommend both the ground liner and the paw print. The paw print seemed frivolous at the time, but it proved to add more than a blue flare of color. It's truly practical and comfortable as a interior layer. It made break down and shake out much easier.

    As far as the ball in socket feet, it's simple to stage and break down (regardless of what you read - believe me, it's easy).

    The mesh is very open so if you like privacy, you're forced to use the rain fly. This is fine on cool evenings, but if it's warm, you can rely on it getting toasty in the tent. For me, the open mesh design was a nice way to catch a breeze and see the stars while in my bag. I grew to like it.

    I faced a few heavy storms on the road and the Asashi did extremely well without the spikes. I hit Bruneau State Park in ID as a black wall of weather approached and I got the tent up on my own with heavy wind gusts in 4 min. I had to weigh down the tent while I transported my gear and the dog, but it stayed put and held up well.

    My only issue with the tent is the mesh appear strained in places. I wasn't sure if it's intentional for breathing or if there was flaws in the quality. Regardless the interior remained bug free even in an all-out mosquito attack in Montana.

    This is a solid tent and I would buy it again. A good compromise to the muthaships of tents and the 3 persons.
