NEMO Equipment - Dagger 3P

Your packing a megamat duo in a suitcase? Go with the Nemo dagger 3p, it’s not the most ultralight but it’s definitely more durable than the big Agnes tents you listed. I have it and bring it with me in my canoe camping trips, it’s a great tent.

I recently bought a Nemo Dagger 3p to replace my Marmot Amp 3p. I'm usually the only one in the tent, but it is nice to have room for one of my kids if they go with. I have no regrets at all about not getting a 2p tent. I like the fact that I have enough room in my tent to keep things easily organized.

My backpacking buddy has the Big Agnes Copper Spur UL3 and I have the Nemo Dagger 3P. They're both really nice tents. Can't go wrong with either. The Nemo seems like a Tardis .. everyone that sees it says its way bigger in the inside than you'd expect.

It was expensive but I personally love my nemo dagger 3p tent just for myself. I also got the footprint. I think they have more features now and are called the dagger osmo or something. Again, it was expensive but have 99% nothing but praise for it and it has held up for me.

I carry my nemo dagger 3p with footprint. I value the space more than I value the weight savings from a smaller tent myself as I like bringing all my stuff in with me.

Nemo Dagger 3p, but only for 2 people.

I was happy with my half dome, handled some nasty storms. I am very happy with my nemo dagger, lighter and more feature rich.

Lighter, tougher, better ventilation. Has a floor in part of the vestibule that I like a lot. I tend to camp out for fishing trips with friends and we do a lot of cooking. The little gear shelf is handy for packing up camp kitchen temporarily.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

When shopping years ago I was stuck comparing the Copper Spur and the Nemo Dagger, I’m extremely happy I went with the Nemo, everything feels significantly more durable when compared with the ‘tissue paper’ feeling lighter options had.
