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.
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!
I recently bought this tent for two upcoming backpacking trips - the Maroon Bells Four Pass Loop, and the 100+ mile Lofoten Long Crossing in Norway. I wanted to purchase a tent that was lightweight, roomy (which is why I oped for the 2P), and weatherpoof. I haven't had the chance to use tent yet, but I sent it up in my apartment when it arrived. I was able to easily set up the tent without any instructions which I hope is a promising testament to the durability and quality of the tent!
Used it for my trip to Moab. Spacious and lightweight. So easy to set up with the color-coordinated poles and clips.
I bought this tent for my dad to take when he goes on solo trips without me. I am so glad I did! He is pretty picky about tent design and structure and we spent forever searching for a tent that would fit his requirements. He has been incredibly impressed with the tent, as well as its durability, pack ability and the lightness of it. He’s looking forward to many more adventures and I definitely recommend NEMO to anyone who is searching for a reliable backpacking equipment.
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!
Great tent, we are very happy. Super easy to set up, good quality. Highly recommended! And so much great features, like the headlamp holder.
The tent is great compacts down small and is very light. The colors and materials are high quality and amazing.
