Best tent for Grand Canyon Rafting Expedition!
4 months ago
I borrowed my partner's Kunai Nemo tent for this trip and it was the best piece of gear that I brought. I had originally wanted to take it since it had the ability to zip off the mesh as that was a recommendation of some friends who had done it before due to intense sandstorms. It did not disappoint from night one all the way to the end (22 nights). We had massive wind & sand storms and every morning I woke up with no sand in my tent compared to others in the group. I also appreciated that it provided ample space if I wanted to bring everything inside. I sometimes used the fly, sometimes not. I didn't bring pegs due to space saving and rocks worked perfectly in the sand. Would 100% recommend for this type of trip.

Used in Alaska @ Denali National Park in late August. Rained 90% of the time for 3 days/nights & temps ranged from the high 30s to high 40s at night, w/ heavy wind intermittently. If the rain hadn’t let up for enough time to allow me to set up the tent & fly, I would have been in trouble. Used with the Nemo footprint sold separately, which was worth every penny Pros: Light Well constructed Great poles Pretty easy to set up Stood up well to the wind Kept me pretty warm, BUT, that was also using a foam mat with a Big Agnes Rapide pad, Sea to Summit down sleeping bag AND a fleece blanket. Cons: Only comes w/ 6 stakes - I had to use another 6 of my own for the wind Had some condensation/wetness issues from the constant rain. Woke up to a damp bathtub wall perimeter along the base, up to the top of the bathtub wall. Inner tent wall was also damp because my rainfly was permiated a bit with the water even w/ it being guyed out nice & taught Had to vent in freezing weather to dry and alleviate the condensation issue - had to also move my down sleeping bag to the center so it wouldn’t get soaked (footprint was great for this) Small vestibule. Was great for storing my boots, but I had to crouch every time I got in/out & I’m a 5’4” 125 pound female Considering the amount of rain & wind, I was pretty impressed with how it held up.

Great Tent
2 months ago
This is great 4-season tent, I love the versatility of being able to use it all year round. I live in the Adirondack Mountains of New York so using it all year can go from 70 to 10 degree lows overnight and having one tent that can handle that is awesome. That being said there are a few tips I’ve learned from experience. One, don’t forget to open the vents in cold weather, I forgot this during a cold night right around freezing and woke up with a lot of condensation. That was the only condensation issue I had and using the vents after totally mitigated the issue. Two in warmer weather it is a good idea to open all the windows if you need the rain fly on, not doing so really increases the temperature inside the tent. Finally as more of a point of caution than a tip just realize that with the entrance on the front of the tent getting out in the morning can be a bit tricky.

Amazing Tent
2 months ago
I just got back from a backpacking trip to Patagonia and this tent was amazing! It’s light weight but withstood the high winds (50+ kph gusts) and the rain that accompanied the heavy winds. It’s quick to set up and break down and was just the perfect stand alone tent for my trip. I can’t recommend it more!

Great tent at the price and weight. Kept me warm in Utah during 30-degree nights camping. Minimum condensation. Any condensation was limited to the rainfly.
