BOMB proof and bone dry after 13+inches of snow!
3 months ago
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.

Fantastic backpacking tent
3 months ago
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.

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.

Great tent
6 months ago
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.

The Cadillac of tents

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.

a step backwards from the pre-osmo dagger
1 month ago
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.

Felt tougher then other tents
3 days ago
We tested out Dagger 3P over 7 days in the Boundary Water Canoe area. On the first day it rained over 2 inches in about an hour. Amazing that our tent stayed dry in a small river. It rained a lot over the next few days with tons of wind . It continued to stay dry. This was not the case for our friends in a comparable tent (other brand). We had just changed tents from another popular UL tent and are glad that we did!!! What we liked - the construction of the tent is the most solid of any tent we've owned. It just felt tougher. It barely moved in the wind. It stayed dry because the fly did not sag in the rain and stayed off the tent. The tent fabric is as advertised. The corners of the tent were better covered by the fly than in other tent designs. We did purchase the ground cloth and glad we did. The ground cloth did not extend beyond the tent body, Another reason it kept us dry. The vestibules are very roomy. The storage tub worked well. I used a rolled up dry bag in the other vestibule. The zippers worked well. In seven days the zipper material jammed only twice on the fly. Compared to my last tent, that happened almost every time we used the zipper. I worried about the 88 inch length as I'm 6'5", That was not a problem and I felt comfortable. The stakes are the best I've seen. You just need 2 more so you can add lines on the front and back of the fly. Things that could be improved - I can't imagine 3 people in this tent. Our two pads filled the tent. We barely had room for water bottles on the side of our pads. We also felt cramped with gear and relied on the vestibules. The storage tub was great in the vestibule but need one for the other side. The pockets on tent were small and I'd suggest adding larger pockets. For our next trip we're going to 1) Add a gear loft, 2) see if we can find another vestibule storage tub and 3) purchase 2 more stakes.

Like my year old Dagger. I approve of your now putting the bottom of the fly pullouts in the center of the new re-design for wind. I do wish it were brighter lime green just in Osmo. I loved my old Espri design, just not the construction and would like to have an Osmo version done. Front doors are now out of fashion. I still have a Rivendell Bomb Shelter from 1974. And my favorite of all, my Bibler Fitzroy. The Dagger may yet make the list!
