Look great but bad design. Best for dry weather.

Looks nice and there is space for 1 and so.e gear but not without its flaws. I use a thermarest neoloft mattress amd a western mountaineering Cloudlite 15 sleeping bag, im about 5'3" amd i hit the mesh all the time with my legs. Being so high of the floor with the mattress makes you be closer to the mesh. The rainfly door ope s all thw way up and the tent is wider on the bottom so when the raifly door is open it will get wer wven with a little rain. You cant sleep withbthe rain fly door open as the mousture from outside will get the mesh wet and your sleeping bag wet. It is a pretty and light tent for a semi free standing tent but not the best. Ill be returning it adm i already have those issies with it. Another thing is the mesh door zipper keeps getting stuck with the rain fly door when ipeing it. It gets in the middlenof the way of the mesh zipper evem when hold by the tied out ot has. Looks nice but thats about it. The back of the tent that has the solid material not the mesh on it, when it rais it gets condensation amd get your head or sleeping bag wet. That should not happen but it does. I want it to love this tent so bad but i realky cant unless i use it on dry weather. For the price, tjere are a lot better options without the issues this one has. NEMO mess up on this one. Great looks but poor design plan on this one.

Made of wet toilet paper
4 weeks ago
I purchased this tent NOT from REI but it doesn't appear Nemo will let you leave a review on their website. This tent is so light and packs so small. I obsessed on this tent for months the two person version. We used it on our Mt Olympus summit trip. WOW! What a piece of garbage!!! First night we got a hole in the floor and the rain fly zipper broke and we couldn't get the zipper back together. Also this material the tent is made of is basically wet toilet paper. It is so fragile even on a forest floor small, I mean very small sticks will poke through the nylon. YES we were using a ground tarp with it. It is also very small for a two person that's how they save the weight. This tent would never last in a granite environment. Nemo should be ashamed to produce such garbage. I am an experienced backpacker with many nights under my belt. I can't even begin to express my disappointment in my $600.00 Nemo Hornet elite

The perfect semi-freestanding UL 2 person!

I LOVE this tent!! I’ve used a 1P, single-wall, non-freestanding tent for many years. I finally decided to suck it up and get a bigger tent. I wanted a 2P, double-wall, semi-freestanding tent that wouldn’t be too much heavier than the tiny tent I’m used to. There are so many options out there, but I am truly satisfied with the fact that I picked the best one that fits those specs! What makes this tent stand out from the competition is truly in the small details. The osmo material provides SO much more water repellency than I’ve ever experienced. The headlamp pocket in the top of the tent that acts as a lantern is amazing. The side pockets are roomy. The extra little piece of paracord + clip on each vestibule adds more livable room. The smaller vestibule square footage means that this tent can fit pretty much anywhere you want to pitch it. It holds up extremely well in the wind, and the perfect pitch is SO easy! The tent itself also packs down suuuper small. Long story short, I cannot recommend this tent enough if you are an ultralight backpacker looking for a little bit of luxury with your shelter.

Hello a fairly odd situation, I wanted a lightweight freestanding tent for two people and this is by far the best… however I’m a non freestanding guy and I couldn’t bring myself to go through with it. If you’re wanting a free standing tent or semi freestanding tent please look no further. Ive had hands on with the tent and it is outstanding.
