The perfect semi-freestanding UL 2 person!
2 months ago
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.

Made of wet toilet paper

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

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.
