NEMO Equipment - Kunai 3P

tungsten ul is so simple and fast to set up. I love my tungsten so much, especially when it rains, no sagging like my nemo kunai 3p does. It ventalates well too. I didn't consider the limelight ul, but is seems a bit lighter. The weird wings are interesting, seemto require extra stakes, but could add indoor space if you need it more than the vestabule.

Nemo Kunai is a great option for year round use.

If you're planning on Denali, Logan or the Himalaya then go with a full four season tent. Snow load and the high winds will crush a lesser tent in those condition. If you're just doing winter camping where the weather is predictable then get a three season or 3+ tent. The Nemo Kunai is a good option and about 4 lbs or the REI Arete ASL is a roomier choice and solid at around six lbs. I'd wait for the upcoming sales next month to possibly save quite a bit of money.

Love my Nemo Kunai. Packs small and durable on ice and snow and adds to warmth by blocking cold winds. Well as one would expect. It'll be with me on Mt Baker in June.

There are some pretty good clearance deals right now as the big brands are changing their lines over for spring. Big Agnes and Nemo have a few left on Amazon and REI still, I think. I snagged a ba fly Creek ul 2 for 200ish on Amazon that's going to serve as a backup/summer tent, and a 3p nemo tent (that isn't ultralight) for family trips with 2 people and dogs. If you can't find an amenable deal on sale, get an x-mid. It's the best value overall.

I have the marmot 6p tent and it's a fantastic tent. Here is my experience with it. - solid construction with metal poles and ykk zippers - with the full rain fly down, makes the tent highly wind resistant and let's the tent stay warm. My wife actually loves this as she runs cold. - no issues with condensation. It is a double wall tent with air vents at the top. - easy to set up and take down, remember you have to stake the tent first before hooking up the poles. - it's seam sealed so very good rain protection - marmot offers a life time warranty. - I'm 6'2 and I can stand in the tent and not touch the roof. I did a lot of research before getting this tent and I have no buyers remorse. That being said, I have a nemo backpacking tent and I can say that nemo is also a fantastic brand. They make good tents and also have lifetime warranty. Honestly I'd also buy the Aurora in a heart beat. For me it would be whichever one was cheaper.
