Hornet Osmo 2p Tent - Nemo Does It Again

Once again NEMO thought of everything when designing this lightweight "2P" tent. Frankly, you would be hard pressed to fit two folks into this tent. I opted to purchase the "2P" tent to allow room for some gear inside the tent besides myself. This past weekend I field tested it on a section of the PCT. It passed in flying colors. This tent is well constructed. Easy to assemble. Easy to take down. My only suggested improvement would be to increase the size of the gear loft inside the tent and perhaps its angle to accommodate larger items and keep them in place. All in all -- excellent, lightweight tent.

Light Weight

Purchased the tent a few weeks ago. Have used it on one overnight. It’s light weight design and ease of use makes it the ideal one man backpacking tent.

Light, Fast, And Livable

Light, fast, and surprisingly livable. The Hornet OSMO seems to hit the sweet spot for putting mileage on, packs nicely, sets up quick with one person, and holds strong in wet and windy conditions without the usual sag. Thoughtful design actually gives you usable space to move around some as single, not just claimed square footage. Solid go-to for backcountry hunts or long pushes. I have only used this on solo pursuits but feel like there will be enough room for 2P when needed.

Great 1p Tent

Excellent little tent. Set up is easy and it’s super light for the durability it gives. Osmo fabric does really well in wet conditions, without giving too much sag. Happy with the purchase.

Lots Of Room!

I bought this during a sale and I am extremely pleased with the tent. I fit inside perfectly (I am 6'5) and there is plenty of space for another person and a dog. I wish it had more space to put your phone, wallet, etc. Overall, amazing tent.

Incredible

Such a perfect mix of durability, space, and a mind blowingly small pack size. It’s perfect

Very Lightweight, Bit Small But Not A Problem

Very lightweight and easy to put up / take down. Only thing is that the inside of the tent feels pretty small. more like a 1.5 person tent than a typical 2 person. Mostly because the tent walls being so angled. Still able to fit 2 adults though and comfortable

Most Useful Shelter I Own

Easily my favorite double-wall tent! For a 2lb tent, and practically freestanding, it’s fast becoming my first choice for any +30mi trek. I do plenty of camping above the tree line and I love that the stake loops are so large that I can just put a rock or a log in it instead of staking it. Easy enough for beginners; light and versatile enough for a thru hike. AT- 2015 PCT-2017

Light Weight And Dry

The Hornet OSMO 1P is my go-to tent when I’m pushing for distance. I recently put it to the test on a 50-mile backpacking trip along the Knobstone Trail in southern Indiana. On the very first night, we endured 8.5 inches of rain—and the interior stayed completely dry. It’s incredibly lightweight and performs exceptionally well in wet conditions. I do choose to pair it with a footprint for added protection. This is my eighth NEMO tent, and I continue to be impressed. I especially appreciate the OSMO fabric technology and the company’s commitment to environmentally responsible design. Their products strike the right balance between durability, functionality in the field, and ultralight performance.

Intelligently Designed

I’ve only had it for a little bit, the tent is perfect. Holds up in wind, and ways a whopping 2 pounds. As one guy it’s perfectly spacious; and the waterproofing is more assuring than any other tent I’ve had. -weighs less, takes up 2.5L of space MAYBE, and holds up better than tents that are much bulkier. Also-the divvy cube helps with compression and the tent/fly itself can be made to basically fit in your pants pocket if you try Hard enough and divvy up the poles/stakes somewhere else

Great Tent

I haven’t used it yet but, just like my older Nemo tent it’s high quality, light, and well designed. I know it will do everything I need it to. Honestly impressed with how small the 2 person packs down

Very Light And Compact

I was able to use this for the first time last weekend on a canoe trip and is great for just myself. I wanted to downsize and find something light and compact and this fits the bill. Very easy setup. The gear loft pockets are really only good for a headlamp. Hoping for long durability

Great For Long Backpacking Trips

I bought this tent to a backpacking guide in New Mexico and it’s super light and set up is super easy and the size when packed fits great into my pack and can hardly notice it when carrying it. Super easy to take down in the morning and packs easily together. The tie points to make more space in the area as well as the tie point for the rain fly is super clever and great to hold it back and easy to hold it back and not get you wet in the morning.

Nemo Hornet

I bought this a month ago and it’s amazing. It’s really light and packable. I plan on getting a ton of use out of this tent as it seems really well made and durable. Nemo made a great product.

Great Ultralight Tent

Love the short poles and ease of setup. This is only a 2 person tent if both people are on 20 inch mummy pads. I would say it's more of a one plus tent. I was surprised it did not come with any guy lines or their lightweight tent stakes given it is an ultralight tent. Can't wait to use it for some motorcycle camping and backpacking trips.
