Both Big And Small

I went with the 2P based on reviews saying the 1P was a bit small for one person. It is plenty big for one person, even with a bunch of gear. It is a small 2P backpacking tent - but that is what one is buying with an ultralight. Two people will fit for sheltered sleeping. I wouldn't want to do much beyond sleeping.

Trail Test Time

I just purchased a Dragonfly OZMO 2P and am looking forward to seeing how it performs on the trail. It will reduce my 2P tent weight by nearly 2 pounds. To help the tent last longer, I also purchased the footprint. I will update the review after trail.testing.

For The Price Point Maybe The Worst

I have had this tent for about a year and avoid using it whenever possible. A huge design flaw for me is the bag for the tent. It is nearly impossible to get it back in especially if you leave the ground sheet attached. Tents like the hornet have a wider mouth to the bag which seems to work better. Getting in and out of this tent is a pain because of so much Velcro on the door. Also no true rain fly vent seems like a miss. Messing with the door vent works ok but it’s more of a pain then just popping open one or two big vents. Osmo is the most slippery fabric ever so packing it or laying it on something to dry is tough. The night light placement for the flashlight is good but the opening seems like the worst place out of the three potential ones, as it is a triangle. Inside storage is small near your head. Basically I guide for a living and I would never bring this tent. I use it for my dog and I on short trips fishing and everything about it drives me crazy like it was designed in a lab and not tested by humans using it.

Favorable First Impression

I recently purchased the Dragonfly OSMO UL 2P tent to replace an older, heavier 2P tent. I have used it only once and I like what I see. By upgrading, I've shaved almost two pounds from my basic load. I'm 6' and 175 pounds and, although I often sleep alone, I prefer the extra space for my gear - especially in the winter months. This tent offers plenty of room as a solo camper. Set up is very straightforward and simple. I plan to put this tent through its paces this upcoming year. That's when I'll know more about durability. I also bought the footprint to go with it and strongly recommend doing so when purchasing any tent.

Too Delicate

I really wanted to like this tent and it has some great features. But on the second night of a three week hiking trip it broke a pole and ripped the flysheet under moderate wind conditions: none of the nine other tents in use around our Osmo Dragonfly were damaged at all. It might be OK in mild conditions, but I can't recommend it for use when the weather ramps up a bit, and since I don't always know when this will be, I would never use a Nemo Dragonfly on an extended trek again. It's too delicate. PS: we completed our three week trek using a Naturehike Mongar tent. It may not have the bells and whistles of the Dragonfly, but it coped just fine with the conditions (and cost a lot less too).
