NEMO Equipment - Hornet 2P (2019 Model)

Nemo hornet is a semi free standing tent not a free standing tent. I have the 2p version and love it.

That type of tent is not what you are looking for at all. The key selling point is that it's extremely lightweight and that's important to those who are carrying this as their shelter for weeks or months at a time. The reason you see so many influencers recommending them is that the "influencers" are compensated in one way or another to do so. Tons of downside though: * Dyneema is a very strong material, but its abrasion resistance sucks. If you aren't extremely careful you will wear a hole in it either from setting it up on the ground or packing it incorrectly. * Their tents are all single-wall, which is fine if you are prepared for potential condensation issues but it's very common to be packing up a wet tent even if it didn't rain. If it does rain then there's a high likelihood of the condensation causing some rain inside the tent too. Again, this is a compromise made to save weight. * The price tag is simply insulting and there are a number of other manufacturers making similar tents for less money. Look for a tent made of out of a more traditional material (sil-nylon or sil-poly) and understand that many lightweight and ultralight tents also cut weight by making the tents ridiculously small. I have a 2P Nemo ultralight tent which is perfect for me alone, but would be nearly impossible for two people unless one was a small child. Nemo and Big Agnes both make good lightweight tents that offer good durability and local store convenience. Tarptent also makes an excellent product in a wide variety of shapes and intended applications. I have a couple of their ultralight tents and am very pleased with them. If they're still making it then the Double Rainbow DW (double wall) is an excellent option and a great compromise between weight, durability and moisture control.

Love my Nemo Hornet 2P. Lightweight, easy set up. Two decent side vestibules for storage, and two doors. Nice headspace.

Used my nemo 45 nights this past summer, still looks new.

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.

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.

I have a Nemo Hornet 2P, and I love it, though I have only used it solo. It would work for two people but would be a tight fit. The Nemo Dragonfly is a similar design but with a little more space. I think it’s a little more expensive than what you’ve mentioned though.

I was going to recommend this tent as well. I have had it since it came out and I use it without a footprint without issues . I use it motocamping because the poles fold down small enough to fit in a saddlebag. I have setup on gravel, pinecones, and some generally terrible sites and the floor has held up fine. It’s tight for two adults but my son fits in it just fine with me.

I have a Nemo Hornet OSMO 2p and it is by far my favorite motocamping tent. The poles fold down small and it takes up very little space.

I have a hornet 2p and while I liked it (I def wouldn’t go with the hornet 1p) I didn’t like the way it sagged when wet. Note the hornet is semi free standing so still an issue on rocky ground. I’ve since used a Durston Xmid pro 2 as it’s so light and roomy but it’s also pricy and needs a lot of space to pitch. My next tent will be the Durston Xdome 1+. Doesn’t sag, has lots of room but less than the Xmid , proper freestanding and a good price. I’ll use that for a while before decide whether or not to sell the Xmid.

I have a Zpack duplex and a Nemo hornet 2p tent both are great but the Zpack is expensive but I think only 14 ounces
