Why We Like The NEMO Dragonfly OSMO Tent
The Dragonfly OSMO Tent takes NEMO's best-selling backpacking tent up another rung. Their new proprietary OSMO fabric has 20% more strength, four times more water-repellency, and three times less stretch when wet than other tent fabrics. It's also made of 100 percent recycled materials and free of fire retardants, PFCs, and PFASs for a more eco-friendly finish. As with all NEMO tents, it also balances weight savings with livability, giving us more room than other tents in its price and weight class. We also like the two large vestibules to store our wet and stinky gear overnight and the two large doors, which keep us from climbing over our partner, dog, or kids in the middle of the night.

Perfect size and easy to use
I've had the opportunity to use the Dragonfly OSMO 3P for a week of remote camping in Ocala National Forest in March '24. The tent is exceptionally light and easy to setup. I also purchased the matching footprint, which I highly recommend. The tent was the perfect size for me and my 10 year old son, with room to spare. It kept us dry during a nasty overnight squall.

Love the size and ease of use
I took this tent out backpacking for a weekend in Northern Michigan. It is so light and easy to carry. We also got into camp late and it was so quick to put up in the dark. I love all of the storage pockets it comes with. Would recommend this to anyone.

Very impressive
I just bought this tent and only used 2 nights in my backyard to test it out. It rained and got down to 27f. Tent held up great and was very easy to set up without using the directions. I was a little uneasy about the rain fly not coming all the way down on the side but after set up there is a decent over lap so I don't think it will be an issue and it does provide awesome ventilation which wasn't great when it was 27f out but will be awesome in warmer weather. I paired this with the Nemo tensor sleeping pad and was much more comfortable than my military issued gear. So impressed with this I'm getting the disco sleeping bag. Had always heard good things about Nemo but I'm definitely a believer now.

Survived First Gauntlet in Patagonia
Took this for three weeks of travel thru Patagonia. The 3P is extremely roomy. Fit my two kids and I we with ample room to spare. Would be incredibly roomy for two adults. Loved the large pockets and thoughtful touches (ie the hooks to roll back rain fly or door for easy prolonged access). Tent vented pretty well - very limited moisture accumulation, but was in low temps and low humidity environment. Will try in the tropics in a few weeks and anticipate more moisture build up. Have the footprint and felt very secure placing this on various surfaces. The material is extremely thin and light, bit seems bomber. Set up is super easy - three min max. Love the Nemo system - was able to get it set up in rainy without a hitch. Rain fly worked well though we didn't have any seriously rainy or windy days. As always with Nemo tents, need to IMO be diligent in setting up the fly properly with all the lines. Weighs almost nothing - key for me as I have to carry nearly everything for the three persons. With another adult, can split the poles and compress the tent to make this supremely packable. Even smaller than my normal 2P ultralight. All in all - stellar purchase. Really excited to have this.
