I have been using this tent for the past Year. From the mountain ridge to the ocean. It’s light, robust and all features are well thought out! I use it when I am guiding or recreating in the mountains or by the ocean with friends and family. The environment /eco story is worth noticing with this product. It’s incredibly spaced out for a 2 person tent.
Love the dragonfly 3p tent! Setup is a breeze. The fly is extremely waterproof and held up to a 4 day rain day and night, not a drop inside! Easy to enter and exit due to the high doors and large entry. Lots of compartments for internal storage and easy to access laying down.large storage under the fly. Guy line attachments on all sides with durable pegs to secure the corners. I really can’t say enough other than get one you won’t be disappointed!
I got this tent a year ago, since then i have used and quite honestly abused it. It's been from deserts to snow storms in Sequoia and held up pretty well. The warranty team is also excellent and the fly was repaired through an easy process. This is a great tent and can stand quite a lot of abuse.
This tent has it all. It's lightweight, easy to set up, well constructed, and it's got the night light feature that I can't live without. I can't believe how spacious it is inside and I love all the storage pockets!!
I used this trip for a trip in Africa where day temperatures would reach 30+ celcius and remain pretty high throughout the night. The 3P worked wonders to keep strong ventilation across the tent, and perhaps make me believe that I was somehow protected against a lion 🦁! The stake design has also changed slightly here and it makes it even easier than before to setup. Even for a 3P this is a very easy 1 man job, even in more harsh conditions. Also, the amount of storage space available inside is AMAZING!
Bought this tent for a 2-week trip through the Boundary Waters. It performed exceptionally well in wind, rain, and heat. It is lightweight but sturdy. Lots of room and very comfortable. Compact size and weight made it easy to carry as part of the portages through the BWCA.
Used it for my trip to Moab. Spacious and lightweight. So easy to set up with the color-coordinated poles and clips.
good quality tent perfect for single backpacker or duo that don't mind being a bit thing since you can fit 2 full size pad and need to have 2 mummy pad or narrow pad
This tent is something to be excited about!! It delivers the little features that others leave out & that is the facts!!! From the way they made the setup color coded to the included tub to keep your gear from getting muddy and wet in sometimes undesirable weather. The headlamp light defuser that works just perfectly & then the rain fly that snugs down in little but ohh so easy adjustments.. I feel NEMO just some how did everything right when they designed the exceptional tent called the DRAGONFLY!! 🙏🏼🤙🏼🤘🏼
I just purchased this tent (not used yet) to replace my 2P Hornet. I'm really bummed I didn't make the switch sooner! The material seems nice and sturdy, I love the color coordinated poles, and all the pocket space on the inside! It's large enough to fit my partner and our 80lb Golden Retriever with ease, and probably an extra backpack (with one in the vestibule). I'm really impressed with the quality of this tent compared to the tent I purchased in 2020. I think I'm going to be very happy with this purchase!
