Great Tent

I took this tent on a 12-day trek at Philmont Scout Ranch. Due to the duration of the back country trip, I opted for the two person tent and didn’t regret the small mount of added weight (I also have a hornet ultra elite 1-p I’ve had for three years and let my son use). The tent performed flawlessly in the New Mexico terrain and weather - we had a few crazy down pours. I’d recommend this tent for anyone that is looking for lightweight but not a trekking pole set up. Roomy, well ventilated and most importantly light!!

Efficient With Everything You Need

This tent is so light and packable, yet well built with everything you need. It packs down so small, especially when you separate the poles and fabric. It's my favorite tent for shorter, lightweight trips, because you get everything you could need in a tent, without the extra weight. No need to sacrifice the good stuff-- like a floor, bug screen, stash pocket, etc-- for packability or weight. This tent does it all. For a longer trip with 2 people, I'd bring a bigger tent.

More Like A 1p Plus, Rather Than An Actual 2p

Quick background, I'm a triple crown thru-hiker and have used a wide variety of tents at various price points and the 2P version of the Hornet misses the mark. I bought the 2P version after a positive experience with the 1P version, but am disappointed in how they scaled up the size. The floor fits two pads, but they did not increase the size of the top spreader bar, so the walls are more angled making it impossible to sit up or even sleep without touching the side walls. You basically have to open the mesh doors to have room. (I'm 5'9" 145lbs) This tent would work well for a single person looking for more room or a couple just doing a short weekend trip, but I couldn't imagine using this with two people for an extended period of time. If I didn't buy this under the Nemo Pro deal I would return.

Excellent Portability And Well Thought Out Design

I've had my Hornet 2 P for a few years now and it has been my go to for the majority of my solo camps. It is a well thought out design with decent head room and space. I'm 6' tall and my Nemo Tensor square pad and I just fit. A couple of extra inches would be nice, but it works for me at my height. As a 2 P tent, I'm not really sure how well this tent would hold up, but as a roomy 1P, I'm all in. I love the double vestibules and the feature to pullout the mesh sides to give you additional vertical space. In a recent BWCA trip, I got to test out the waterproofing of the tent with an all day downpour. I stayed dry and felt comfortable and not to cramped after spending the majority of the day in the tent.

Great Gear And Small Pack Down Size!

I just used this tent on a 7 day backpacking trip in Montana. I was TOO STUNNED TO SPEAK when I pulled it out and it packs down SO SMALL!! In addition to that, I took it out on some crazyyy weather and it withstood everything! This is a 10/10 purchase!
