NEMO  Dagger OSMO 2P Tent

This tent was bomb proof and excellent! I purchased it for backpacking and a car camping tent as well. I went camping and it snowed and dropped an unexpected 13+ inches of heavy, wet snow. This was nothing for the tent. It was bone dry and did not sag at all! I felt safe and comfortable while the snow dumped on this tent for 2 days straight.

I’ve had a Bungalow 4P for car camping and festivals for a decade. I recently purchased the Osmo Dagger 2P to replace an older backpacking tent in the same weight category and took it out on it’s first trip two nights ago. First impressions: Fabric is very lightweight, soft and seems very durable. I have no doubt that it will be. Setup is a breeze for one person. Since there is added vestibule space that requires two additional stakes ( that come with the tent ) it’s just something extra to bring and setup, so minor things to get used to. You do need an additional 2 stakes ( that do not come with the tent ), for the two lower points for better airflow especially if it’s humid and/or rainy weather. So, 10 stakes total if anyone is wondering, 4 for the corners, 4 for the vestibules and 2 for the head and feet where the logo is. I honestly thought the “nightlight pocket” was going to be a bit of a gimmick, but after throwing my headlamp in there, I was very well surprised at how well the orange fabric disperses the light inside the tent. I will now be using this feature every time instead of just wearing my headlamp inside which I’ve always done previously. The landing zone, I brought with me, but did not end up using it. I think this will be more beneficial in rainy/muddy/snowy weather and the other night it was bone dry. I very much like the more muted fabric color when I’m in the tent as the sunlight is hitting it when I’m waking up in the morning. It’s not too harsh/intense as the eyes adjust to daylight. One nit picky thing I was unsure about was the pole bag. The way I pack is, I stuff the tent body and fly into my pack and fill gaps instead of using the storage sack they come with ( Just make sure you fold in the netting to the center with the floor on the outside to protect it and obviously don’t pack it around any sharp objects ). I attached the poles to the outside of my pack on the side via the compression straps. The pole bag did not have a little piece of fold over fabric with a button to secure to one of the compression straps ( To clarify: not the fold over piece on the top to keep the poles in the bag, that is solid. Just something to prevent the bag with the poles in it from sliding out of the side compression straps ). They ended up sliding out about 3/4 of a mile in where the button closure would have prevented them from sliding off the pack and onto the ground. I ended up attaching them to the bottom horizontally which I don’t find ideal, but once again, a very small annoyance that I’m sure I’ll figure out a different way to attached them so this doesn’t happen again. It didn’t rain on this last trip, but I have 100% no doubt in my mind, I’ll be completely dry when the time comes. The Bungalow 4P I’ve had in multiple crazy storms and it was solid! All that said, Nemo kills it again with their product and I’ve had a wide variety of their gear for over a decade! Can’t wait to get back out on the trails, hopefully next week!

This has been a really great tent for backpacking trips. The two doors and two vestibules are so convenient, and in combination with the true rectangle shape of the tent (ie the width doesn’t taper at the foot end), makes this tent super comfortable for two people. Set-up is super easy and intuitive, and the materials are all high quality and seem more robust than other lightweight tents I have used.

We have been using this for 3 years now, and there's is yet to be a sign of wear. Very sturdy and easy to set up tent. We are very pleased and recommend this to everyone!

I love how easy it is to assemble this tent, the color coded option makes it super easy to know which way it goes. I love how tall the tent is, makes it really comfortable to hang out inside the tent and also has lots of storage to dry off and store our stuff while we sleep. I love how light and small the tent packs down to and is perfect for all kind of weather.

I bought the Dagger OSMO 2P after borrowing a friend's and loving how lightweight the tent is, how well it separates into different pieces/bags for packing, and how roomy it is inside - particularly length-wise for gear. I do not find that the poles pack down into a flush position due to the angle of the poles' set up, which I find awkward for packing.

I bought this tent two years ago. I use it for hunting season and it works great. I haven’t had any issues at all. The only issue I had was the tent poles twisted around in 80 km hour winds haha and kind of fold it in on itself. The polls did not brea. That might’ve been my fault not tying ALL the guide down.

I've had my older Nemo dagger for three years now, just got the new one. The old one was no slouch. Just a couple weeks ago it scoffed at a thunderstorm. I also like that the floor can fit two 25 inch pads, it was actually comfortable putting two people in it even with slightly uneven terrain and a mild slope. It may be a little on the heavy side, but it packs down incredibly well. My only gripes with the old one were that getting in & out were annoying and the landing zone was annoying to attach. The new version fixes both issues, and now I find myself with a near perfect tent.

Several minor improvements from the old dagger. toggles to hold fly out of the way of doors work well. the way the fly attaches to the corners works easily and well but I question the durability of the small pin. Biggest complaint: this model has a much shorter crossbar than the pre-osmo dagger. This makes the walls slope in too much at the sides and thus the tent feels pretty cramped with two people. The vestibule "floor" is ridiculous, IMO. I had the prior dagger model for years. Eventually it needed warranty repair and Nemo, to their credit, honored their warranty but were unable to fix the tent. So they sent me the new Osmo version. Pleased with Nemo's warranty policy but disappointed in the new tent.

This is an awesome two person tent. It’s very roomy and two rectangle sleeping pads fit good in it with extra room at the bottom for packs. So much room on the outside under the rain fly for extra gear also. Really love the little attachable vestibule for under the rain fly. Haven’t gotten to test it in the rain yet but t overall, Nemo did a really awesome job with this tent. Highly recommend.
