Dagger Ridge OSMO

Ridge by the looks have very similar inner if not the same(besides design), upper part of the inner is purely mesh and when you have strong winds you will feel draft. When I camped on Snowdon with 30mph winds draft was quite bad however you don’t need to worry about condensation that’s for sure! 😀 It is by far my favourite tent, but outer being so high of the ground it can be cold. However it is absolutely amazing when conditions are good. If you have rain but no wind, this is the best tent to go for, but in the UK that is unusual https://preview.redd.it/k7o4aa5nt0jg1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a017a7218059ad93e806129dcd3c1e8b7934315e

Nemo Dagger is best I have ever owned

Nemo Dagger 2 person backpacking tent. I'm in the "pack less shit" camp.

Nemo Dagger is one of my favourite 2 person tents

For backpacking, we have a 2 person Nemo Dagger. It has doors and vestibules on either side, and is surprisingly roomy. One of us carries the tent/fly the other carries poles and stakes. We have our own sleeping bags and pads. Our 40 lb dog sleeps on a crazy creek chair at the bottom of my feet. It’s cozy.

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.
