I have used this tent on multiple backpacking trips. So far I have covered about 300 miles with this tent in about a months time on the trail. I have seen every type of weather, including heavy thunderstorms. The tent has not failed in anyway. Zippers still work perfectly. Rainfly has kept water out of the tent every single time. Take care of the tent properly without abusing it and it will last you a very long time. Keep the rainfly tight and away from the main tent and water will not find its way in. I could not be happier with this tent and will buy another as places clearance them out with the new version’s release in 2025.

This Tent Did Amazing In The Rain!
I bought this tent a few months ago to replace a previous 2P backpacking tent from a different brand. Nemo tents are some of the best designs that I've come across. I love the simplicity and ease of setting it up, and being able to do so solo as the poles clip into the grommets. That's one of the best design adds I've seen in recent years to have the ability to set up a tent solo without the poles slipping out of the little holes, yay! The first night in the tent, we had a huge downpour. With the tent and footprint, everything stayed impeccably dry, I was very impressed and pleased with it's preformace. I foresee many years of adventures in this tent!

Surprised By Negative Reviews
Me: multi-day backpacker not worried about saving every ounce I can. I like sleeping well in the backcountry and will carry a few extra pounds to achieve this. I bought the dagger instead of the Nemo UL options because of the thicker, more durable fabric and (at 6’3) the extra length/height. I’m hard on my gear and I know it- I have no concerns with this tent. Easy setup, all the features I need. I camp in very wet Pacific Northwest conditions and the osmo fabric has been a game changer! Very little sag, no nighttime adjustments required. Cons: the footprint is a necessity imo and it takes up a ton of pack space. I knew it would but the packed size still surprised me.

Updating Previous Review
I'm writing to update my previous review where I ripped the floor of my tent at home with chair legs. First, I'll say this was my fault and certainly not a designed for situation. I sent the tent in for repair with Nemo and to my shock they covered it under warranty. I deserved to pay for this repair and didn't ask for them to cover it but they did. So big kudos to their custom service, also the repair seems very well done. Now that I've spent a few nights in the tent out in the woods I have a better appreciation for the tent and its features. The Jake feet were handy and made setting up the tent by myself easier than previous tents I've used. They still seem like a weak spot for the tent if it were to break, but it was nice being able to just leave the foot print connected to the tent for an entire trip. Packing the tent up with the footprint attached saved steps and time. The vestibule was much larger than previous tents that I've used, and created an actually useful area. Going into it, I thought the landing pad was gimmicky, but in practice it was super handy. Set up was pretty easy and quick. The door hold backs worked well. I didn't find the interior pockets to be very useful. Overall I'm happy with the tent, and very happy with Nemo.

Favorite Backpacking Tent!
I love the build of this tent! Plenty of space for me and one other person plus a bag or two at our feet. My favorite feature is the yellow light diffuse pockets for your headlamp light. It makes the lighting much more softer in the tent at night! The tent just fits two regular wide sleeping pads with a little overlap. Better to use one standard width with a regular wide for better fit.
