"Nemo’s warranty is fantastic. ... They repaired a rainfly for free that I’m pretty sure definitely ripped due to me."
"their customer support was better than any company I’ve ever encountered ... When my first tent got some delamination on the waterproofing layer they replaced it for free"
"I love Nemo products and they back them with a lifetime warranty."

"Can stand straight up right next to the walls, very little incline, and stretch out near the center. ... Personally love it as a tall guy that isn't a fan of crouching over or being on my knees all night long."
"I’m 6’ and I had plenty of room."
"Enough room for a queen and twin sized air mattress side by side with walking/standing room and room for gear by the foot."

"My Nemo Aurora I've only gotten wet in it once in heavy rain and that was due to me not tightening down the fly at my feet."

"After finishing up a trip this past weekend up in Maine I found out that my new 6 person Coleman tent is not water resistant to rain. ... I always thought Coleman made a decent tent until this past weekend when I found out the hardway with water seeping through every seem of the tent"
"the Sundome only comes down halfway."
"My personal experience is with one of my older tent coleman sundome, where the fly kind of goes just below where the screen material is. In windy conditions, the, due to the gap, the wind finds its way in and make the fly very flap around a lot and hence its very loud."

"the windows are poorly designed"
Tried the Gazelle, liked it until I put it away on the first trip and 2 out of 4 metal sheath ends for the rain fly poles went loose into the dirt. Terrible quality for the price, went back to REI and got the Nemo Aurora.
r/CampingGear • I analyzed Reddit data for the 25 most recommended camping tents (in the past year) ->Nemo is doing great. Obviously not as thick of a material as the Gazelle but it’s a similar size that has “standing room.” Allows me to use other vehicles for camping too since the Gazelle only fit in my truck.

r/CampingandHiking • How much should you pay for a high quality one-person tent? ->Doesn’t help when you’re on top of the mountain in the pouring rain :) Edit this sounds a bit harsh. NEMO makes good tents I’ve owned a couple. These days I just prefer something a bit heavier.
r/CampingGear • Gearlabs top 19 tents are all 200$+. One is even over a thousand. Are those of ua getting the 70$ amazon special really buying junk?! ->Nemo makes great tents. i have two, one has been with me since 2012 and still works great. i got another one last year with more room cuz i have more dogs. i like that they sell internal floors to keep dogs from making holes with their paws. i also love how easy they are to set up, and how durable the materials seem to be.
r/BuyItForLife • Is there such thing as a “good” tent? ->There are a few shelters that use trekking poles as supports. I have a Nemo that’s about the size as a Nalgene bottle.
r/CampingGear • Backpacker looking for one man tent that packs down to smallest size but not a bivvy ->Got a Nemo 3p tent a couple years ago then wife broke her ankle. Finally just used it the first time and it’s great. 3 person is def the way to go for 2 people.
r/backpacking • What's the best 2 person backpacking tent that won't make me hate my partner? ->I have a 3 person Nemo tent, which is perfect for 1 person plus my pack, or two people without stuff. I’d get a 3 person if I were you.
r/CampingGear • Is a 2 person tent actually big enough for 2 people? ->My Nemo Aurora I've only gotten wet in it once in heavy rain and that was due to me not tightening down the fly at my feet. I haven't used an MSR but I can't imagine they intentionally designed it to not keep you dry
r/CampingGear • MSR Hubba Hubba and similar lightweight tents: do you stay dry? ->Tent: MSR or Nemo, sleeping bag: Nemo (the lightest warmest I’ve found) knife folding knife I’d use a Swiss army “Ranger” model, if its a folding knife sans that I’d use a fixed blade like a Pathfinder knife shop “scorpion or Kephart” the kephart is my favorite personally. It’s always good to have multiple tools for sure sometimes they fail. Additionally if you’re going to be in any remote areas take 2 ways to make fire whether that’s 2 lighters or a lighter and a ferocerium rod doesn’t matter. Ans water water water, and some way to filter said water. I’ve had situations even near or in towns where I needed water and had some but couldn’t purify it and a metal container of you can canteen or stainless non vacuum single wall water bottle if you have that and fire you’ll have purified water. Enjoy your walk sounds like fun to me
r/CampingGear • Advice for sleeping bag, tent and knife ->I have an Aurora 3P. Was camping in eastern Sierra a few weeks back and got caught in an unexpected snow storm. Woke up dry and warm despite the roof seriously sagging from snow. The other tent was using for cooking/hanging out was completely flattened with broken poles. First Nemo for me. I'm sold.
