"It stood up to a tornado i got hit with on my last backpacking trip in missouri."
"it literally survived a tornado while set up. I just had to stake it back down."
"surprisingly solid tent for hunkering down for a day or two in very wet and stormy Wyoming weather. ... exceed the quality of a lot of Western branded mid range tents in the $500 USD pricing tier based on my experience of seeing colleagues with a couple of very well known and popular mid tiered tents struggling under stronger winds and wetter weather."

"I use the dragonfly 3p tent for this scenario and it’s perfect"
"it’s great for 2 adults and 2 kids, with a good amount of space between beds so we can have luggage or hang out if it’s raining. ... If it’s just two people it’s a really big tent but if you want a lot of extra room, it’s great."
"I’m 6’ and I had plenty of room."

"Big Agnes warranty and customer service help is top-notch. ... I sent them an email earlier this week and they responded within minutes with a fix that allowed me not to send the tent in and repair it myself."
"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"

"The Nemo is already a tight fit in campgrounds with the tent pads delineated with timbers that you'll find in a lot of campgrounds."
"One of the main critics about the StratoSpire series was the required pack space caused by its fixed struts."
"I personally hated the pitch lock system that prevents it from really folding/rolling as small as its competitor."

"Easy to lose(smaller than airpods)"
Nemo Dagger 2p is absolutely perfect for 2 people. Lightweight(you can split weight), easy to pitch, very spacious(can fit 2 large pads), 2 doors with a lot of room for your gear. Many other features that are absolutely spot on
r/Ultralight • First tent for weekends with SO ->Used my nemo 45 nights this past summer, still looks new.
r/CampingandHiking • How much should you pay for a high quality one-person tent? ->I've been to the mountain 4 times and summited 3 times. 1st time, Hotlum Bolam ridge: Guide supplied a BD first light to me, some other clients got REI half domes 2nd time, Hotlum Bolam ridge: Guide supplied BD first light again 3rd time, Avalanche Gulch: I brought my MLD Supermid 4th time, Clear Creek: I brought my Nemo Dagger My opinions on these tents: BD first light: Light, small, affordable, strong. But it doesn't have a vestibule, and feels really small for someone over 6 feet when your pack is inside because there's rain on the forecast. My head and feet were both touching the tent, which was covered in condensation (it's single wall...) MLD supermid: Spacious but a pain to set up. Not great as a basecamp tent because it needs your treking poles, although you can always remove them temporarily. Nemo Dagger: Very comfy and easy to set up, but not for harsh conditions. My partner attempted Avalanche Gulch (guided) earlier this year (June, but the weather was bad), the guides supplied a Mount Hardwear Trango. Indestructible but heavy. One of the guides had a Hilleberg Jannu get shredded, a Slingfin (unknown model) and the client Trangos survived. If I were looking for a four season tent right now, Id probably go Samaya if I wanted the lightest option and Slingfin if I wanted the comfortable of double-wall.
r/Mountaineering • Is it worth it to buy or rent a four-season tent for Shasta? ->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?! ->I have a Dagger for my girlfriend and me, and we love it. I also got one for my girlfriends father and mother. They also seem happy with it.
r/CampingGear • Is a 2 person tent actually big enough for 2 people? ->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? ->We just returned our Hubba Hubba (broken pole after a few uses) and got a Nemo Dagger. The Nemo seems more durable so far, very impressed with the design.
r/CampingandHiking • NEMO Dragonfly 2p tent for 374$ is good? Or are there other options? ->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 ->I’ve got the Dagger, but it’s an older version. It’s great. Easy and fast to set up. I’ve only had it a year, but it seems well made and I hope to have it for a while!
r/CampingGear • Is a 2 person tent actually big enough for 2 people? ->I own two Nemo tents, the Dragonfly 1p and the Dagger 2p. They’re great.
