My first night in this tent was in a snowstorm in Yosemite. We got about 2 feet of snow overnight and the wind was blowing snow off tree limbs causing it to crash down on the nano with me and a buddy inside. The tent stood up to the abuse just find. I shook the walls every couple hours to keep snow from possibly collapsing the tent but the steep walls kept everything in check. If you guy out the tent right you should be fine in fairly strong winds however I would not recommend this tent for any serious 4 season use where extreme winds are possible it lacks the tie outs and poles most true 4 seasons have but i would trust it to get me through all but the most severe storms. I have had very little condensation issues with this tent. If you use the vents properly a small amount of condensation may form on the walls but this happens will almost any tent. I keep a sponge handy for this reason. Buy the nano and you won't be dissapointed.

I bought this little guy for the light weight and versatility. So far we've spent two weeks together in canyons on Cedar Mesa, UT, and I've been blown away. I'm tall at 6'5", so when I buy a tent I expect to share it with nobody (unless in an emergency, romantic or otherwise) and sleep diagonally. This size is perfect, and the high-angled walls gave me plenty of sitting up clearance. The vent opposite the big open door is small but has an ingenious little support pole that prop it open nice and wide. I haven't had it any more wet than a few sprinkles in the desert so I can't comment on condensation issues yet.

The one con worth mentioning is the vestibule size. My big pack fit nicely but there's definitely not enough room or clearance for winter cooking. Also, depending on how you've got the vestibule rigged up, zipper access into the tent proper can be very acrobatic.

The tabs near the pole grommets are indeed annoying as one other reviewer pointed out, but I suppose they're necessary to add the paw print floor accessory. If I commit to never using it, I'll probably just whack off the extra tabs.

I love the compression sack to pack it down small and slip the poles in with my sleeping pad. The stakes are minimalist but stayed put nicely in hard desert sand. For summer desert use, get yourself a Nano. I think it may do nicely for light winter use. I'll keep you updated.

It's really a great tent. Last summer we were camping for 3 days of nasty rain and everyone else had water in there tent but me. it's super light and packs up smaller then my sleeping bag. It's not that big inside. I'm not that tall of a guy so I don't mind it but if you and the other person in the tent are big- tall guys it could feel a little tight. I really don't think you can go wrong. The nano as well as the other Nemo tents are just a very well made and thought out design

This is my fourth single wall tent, The previous three were in order, the Kelty Aero, a Sierra Design solo tent, Black Diamond lighthouse and now the Nano. The overall design of the Nano with its attached vestibule appeared to be an improvement over the black diamond and in some ways it is. It is larger and the ability to switch between a three season to a four season tent shaves a little weight. There are however two major flaws. One, the grommets that the poles set into are covered with flaps making it a little harder to get the poles in place compared to the black diamond but you do get used to it. The major problem compared to the previous single wall tents is the condensation. With out a doubt the Nano is the worst. Granted I am a warm sleeper but this tent is the worst. First time out was a clear 55 degree night, sleeping bag was a kelty down 45 degree bag. Condensation on the sil nylon was excessive and the inside wall of the tent fabric was covered with condensation. Again this was a dry night.
Second time out was a three night trip same temperature range. First night was clear, condensation was the same as the previous trip, Second night it started to rain and continued to for the next two days, Condensation was so bad I had to place towels around the interior perimeter of the tent to absorb the water running down the walls and that was the first night of rain., by the third night water was dripping from the poles and dripping from the sil nylon through the no seeum mesh into the tent. Nemo claims that this tent was designed to maximize air circulation there for reducing condensation, Theory is great but they might want to switch to different fabric. Of the four tents I have mentioned the black diamond has held up the best with consistent but minimal condensation and I have had the black diamond out in all conditions from zero degrees in the winter to multi day down pours in the summer and never had this level of condensation. As for the Nano well it will be donated to the boy scouts maybe they will have better luck with it.
