"throwing it up in minutes"
"It's nice to not have to mess with poles ... be able to pick up the tent body when it's built and shake it out"

"roomy for my height"
"Depending on pack size, can usually slide inside the vestibule (fly) or at a pinch inside the bottom end of the tent"

"The Nemo was VERY expensive and I did pay full price, but very worth it to me as I’m getting older and can’t carry as much weight into the wilderness without a back ache."
"the Nemo Hornet is 4.3L"
"Soooo light."

"if you re expecting rainy conditions, the Hornet is not worth the money. ... The side mesh goes down super far to the point that water can splash in ... and if memory serves the rain fly is cut short in a few places, presumably to save weight but it ends up just exposing the tent to rain ... and even with proper set up it has been my experience that you will get drenched. ... I ve had drier nights in the old metal framed Coleman tents I grew up car camping in."
"just don’t unzip it all the way"

"from experience it does not stand up to heavy winds ... We had it out in an exposed site in 30+km/winds and the poles bent inwards and the central connector broke on us. ... we only take it out now when the weather forecast is favourable and predictable (short trips)."
"The guy lines are not quality rope. They snap in wind, and so do the poles. ... I had cables and poles snap on me."
"I'd not be willing to compromise on robustness and storm-proofness for weight. For scenarios where that's not a concern, I'm quite happy with my Hornet."

"Unfortunately I could really benefit from a freestanding tent to maximize my campsite options and not having to worry about losing tent stakes in the dark. ... I bought one and don like the fact that it s not free standing ... My needs call for a freestanding tent thus I asked for a freestanding tent! If someone wants to save 6 oz by going with a NEMO Hornet vs NEMO Dragonfly, that s awesome. But I will benefit from full free standing. I also wouldn need to bring as many tent stakes as with a semi free-standing!"

"My only complaint is that I got used to how many interior pockets my old tent had, and this one just has a single overhead pocket."
