"The best part is the huge vestibule. ... On super rainy days we can set up our camp chairs in there and cook with the stove no problem, the dogs sleep out there and it's a great place to dry stuff."
"I’m 6’4” and I have plenty of room ... I sleep on the diagonal just for extra head room but I can fit straight across ... I can sit straight up in the tent and move around ... there’s still room in the tent for most of the extra gear in my pack"
"Can fit 2 cots, 2 camp chairs, and the dog bed no problem."

"A tent that was 2 lb or less ... It's shaved off 2 to 3 lb at least and I have more space my backpack. ... Once you hit that 2 LB or so mark...holy crap...its a whole new world."
"When I care about weight, I bring my Fly Creek from Big Agnes. ... The fly creek is crazy light"
"agreeable weight ... I've used them both in the backcountry as well as when going car camping"

"We got down poured on last trip to the BWCAW in our Nemo dagger osmo. Stayed completely dry."
"I've also used a NEMO Dagger OSMO, which has a rainfly that uses a mixed nylon-polyester fabric, that works pretty similar in my experience, and doesn't sag when wet."

"very fragile when they come into contact with any rocks or roots. ... When I finished they were full of holes. ... For 160 euros I'll be lucky if they last the month."
"O cabedal é feito com aquelas telas, por isso ele acaba não sendo muito resistente. ... Eu usei ele em Uricibi para fazer uma trilha que cruzava um rio várias vezes nesse fim de semana e num trecho em que a mata estava bastante fechada, eles acabaram rasgando nesses pontos pelo atrito com a vegetação"
"I bought the 13s and after two runs totalling 30k a hole was starting to appear on the side and the front toe area where the outsole meets the upper, it started peeling. I sent them back for a refund."

"Nemo Dagger: Very comfy and easy to set up, but not for harsh conditions."
"Doesn’t help when you’re on top of the mountain in the pouring rain :)"
I love my Nemo Osmo 2 person tent. It’s so light and I saw reviews of people using it their whole thru hike on the AT with no issues… it takes almost no time to set up and also almost no time to take down. Downside, you need to buy footprint separately and it’s expensive.
r/AppalachianTrail • What's the best 2-person backpacking tent? Any suggestions? ->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? ->The Durston tents are awesome. I have the 1 person with the separate poles (very lightweight). It's so light and easy to pitch. I use this one backpacking. I have the Nemo Osmo 2p tent for when I want a little more room and don't care so much about the weight (it's still very lightweight considering).I use this one car or canoe camping, like I said, when weight isn't so much an issue. It's very roomy inside and the "landing zone" in the vestibule is great for keeping gear dry and off the ground without having to bring them inside the tent.
r/CampingGear • Backpacking tent recommendations? ->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? ->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? ->I'm a single male backpacker and I chose the Nemo OSMO Dagger 2p over the Dragonfly, for more space, more pockets, and an even-square-shaped footprint capable of squeezing TWO WIDE sleeping pads, if needed. Great size for one person, doable with two. Good interior height for a 6'1" man, two vestibules/doors, and the "bathtub" vestibule attachment is nice. Also: the netting is good for stargazing (black on top). Edit: I paid full price. I had to save for several months to make it happen, at $499.
r/CampingandHiking • NEMO Dragonfly 2p tent for 374$ is good? Or are there other options? ->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? ->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.
r/WildernessBackpacking • Suggestions for a backpacking tent that is a reasonable weight but isn't "Ultralight"? ->Nemo had some issues with their tents, specifically tub and seams, that was about 4-5 years ago. They’ve fixed those problems and they’ve been fantastic for me. Specifically their aurora and dagger tents. They have the best customer service in the industry. On 2 sleeping pads I’ve had of theirs they sent one on 2 day shipping and one on overnight to the middle of no where dakotas.
r/CampingGear • Nemo tents ->i very much like my Nemo OSMO Dagger 2p
r/CampingandHiking • Best Backpacking Tent ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
