NEMO  Dragonfly OSMO 2P Tent

Lightweight design good size POOR Ventilation Went on 3day/2 night shakedown with this tent. two fullsize adults in low 30's temps at night. Setup was easier and pocket usefull. Split weight with partner to make carrying easier. First night with both vents in the rain fly fully open, we had icicles hanging from bottom of rainfly. When you go to exit the tent at night the condensation build was so bad it drips into the vestibule and rubs against your back as you exit. 2nd night, again 30 degrees low, had Both vents open and little extenders to maintain the vent opening in the fully open position, the condensation buildup on the inside was so bad it began to drip onto the inner bug netting.

Have been considering backpacking. Slowly gathering as I can afford. This First tent purchase for backpacking. It may not be the lightest but the sales Associate at REI helped me understand that this tent would be more suitable for high winds due to the way it can be staked out and it's Design. I appreciated that input so I can be better equipped for any situation.

The tent broke on my second outing with it. Camped out in Moab. This tent did not hold up at all in strong wind. The poles snapped and then poked many holes into the raincover. The tent looks good and I loved how light weight it was, make sure to have calm weather if using.

This Dragonfly Osmo 2P tent is a legit super light backpacking tent. The fabric is light, but it doesn't feel flimsy at all. There's nothing cheap about this tent! The zippers work well. The poles are solid, and the connection points feel sturdy. I also like the big vestibules. The gear lofts inside the tent - built into the mesh - are really nice for putting your extra clothes at night. I really like almost everything about this tent. However, it's not perfect. First, it does require at least six stakes for a good pitch. You could for sure get by with fewer, but if it's windy, you'll want at least six, possibly more for guylines. Also, the two-way vestibule zippers are nice, and there are venting options at the top of each vestibule zipper. But those venting options are small. Finally, the tent will only fit two small people comfortably. If you are tall or wide, this tent is too small for 2p. I know that most 2p tents are really 1+ tents, but I have had a few 2p tents that my spouse and I fit in well. This Dragonfly Osmo's sides come in somewhat sharply, so when my spouse and I sit up on this tent, our shoulders rub the side mesh. It's just a bit too tight for two slightly taller people who are slim. But for two shorter/smaller people or for one person, this tent is super awesome!
