NEMO Equipment - Aurora 2

I take my Nemo Aurora 2p backpacking, car camping and soon to be canoe camping. It's the perfect all around tent imo.

Second the Nemo worth the money

Nemo Aurora 2p, it actually fits two 65cm pads and the vestibules are large enough for a backpack.

Nemo makes a 2 and 3p tent called the Aurora. It comes with a footprint, and you can purchase a Pawprint (meant for dogs) that goes on the inside to help protect the tent from paws.. kinda cool. Not the cheapest option but also budget friendly for a nicer quality name brand tent. You can often times find them on sale at REI. I love Nemo products and they back them with a lifetime warranty. https://www.rei.com/product/246448/nemo-aurora-2-backpacking-tent-with-footprint Just looked, and the 2p backpacking tent with footprint is 40% off!

I hiked last year with the Nemo aurora, around the same weight and honestly loved my tent. There were a few nights where I was the only one dry, granted the weight does play a huge factor when hiking up and down hill every day back to back. One thing for sure is that it will make you stronger

The marmot Limestone ended up selling out on the sale at REI, so I got the Nemo Aurora! Hopefully they like it (and let us try it sometime, ha)!

The Zempire blow-up tent is a great option that I don't think has been mentioned yet. I've got one and can set it up in just over 2 minutes. At 5'2, you'd have no problem standing up across most of the tent (I'm 5'4"). Some other solid choices: • Springbar and Kodiak canvas tents: Incredibly spacious and durable though must be packed dry so be aware of that if you're camping in wet conditions • Nemo Aurora: Replaced the popular Wagontop model, offering good headroom Hope this helps!

Nemo makes fantastic products. I have their 2P tent which is perfect for me solo (6'4" 225lbs) and I can squeeze in a gal with me though there is usually some overlap with the sleeping pads. I've sent it in for repairs once and they did a great job and even found some things I hadn't noticed they needed fixed.

I have the marmot 6p tent and it's a fantastic tent. Here is my experience with it. - solid construction with metal poles and ykk zippers - with the full rain fly down, makes the tent highly wind resistant and let's the tent stay warm. My wife actually loves this as she runs cold. - no issues with condensation. It is a double wall tent with air vents at the top. - easy to set up and take down, remember you have to stake the tent first before hooking up the poles. - it's seam sealed so very good rain protection - marmot offers a life time warranty. - I'm 6'2 and I can stand in the tent and not touch the roof. I did a lot of research before getting this tent and I have no buyers remorse. That being said, I have a nemo backpacking tent and I can say that nemo is also a fantastic brand. They make good tents and also have lifetime warranty. Honestly I'd also buy the Aurora in a heart beat. For me it would be whichever one was cheaper.
