This is the 7th Nemo tent that I own, and can really see the evolution of the hardware, fabric, and design that went into this. Very well thought out tent, too cold yet for me to take it outside but I immediately set it up in my living room. I got the 2P, and the only downside is that since I am a big guy, this is more like a 1 1/2P. I use rectangular and bigger sleep pads, so for one person it is just fine but you would have to use tapered or mummy sleep pads if you were fitting two people. Love the subdued colors scheme and subtle labeling. Would love to see them come out with a 3P version, then I would have the perfect oversized 2 person tent.
Only one night so far in this tent, vented very well, kept warm with temp in the low 30s. This is the first tent I have bought in over a decade, and the material does feel thin. However, with advancements in technology I am surprised at the innovation of the materials. So far holds great tension and does not feel it will rip or wear out easily. Packs down very nice and light and feel this will be a great tent for my future trips.
Just bought it and have only set it up in my living room, but super easy to set up, perfect size for what I was looking for. Can't wait to use it.
