We head off into the woods with the Dagger OSMO Tent for its reliable design we know will help us out when sleeping away from home. It uses NEMO's high-performance, 100 percent recycled OSMO fabric that is both water- and stretch-resistant without the use of PFCs, PFASs, or fire-retardant chemicals. This ensures pools of water won't pile up on the canopy then leave us drenched like a coach after winning a football game. Plus, specialized vestibule vents provide even more utility in the rain because they're placed where air may enter but water won't.

Great three season tent!
I bought this tent last year for tent camping in Alaska. The Nemo OSMO was a perfect tent for strong, windy rain. The large bathtub bottom and OSMO fabric kept everything dry. This tent is very easy to set up and repack. I also purchased the footprint and the color coded tabs made for a quick set up. I purchased the 3P and had ample room for the 2 of us.

Good tent
Well I thought it was just me that got a rip on the bottom of the tent. After just one use I got a rip on the bottom of the tent. None after that. The tents design is awesome. The attention to detail is great. I’ve used a lot of tents and none of them are as good as Nemo.

Nice tool
I have had it since May with the first hike in June. Excellent. No problem even with strong wind.

Bad assembly quality
I am a big fan of Nemo products and own several of their items, including four sleeping bags and a sleeping pad. However, I am very disappointed with the assembly quality of the Nemo Dagger Osmo tent. The tent itself is not particularly fragile, but the assembly quality is really lacking. During the third use, the tent door simply gave way. Fortunately, we were able to exchange the tent at our store. Unfortunately, during the first use of the new tent, another piece detached on its own. This piece was not under tension and simply remained in our hands during the tent setup. The reason: an unfinished seam. To avoid any inconvenience during the season, we repaired this break ourselves. However, during the repair, we noticed another seam about to give way. So, we repaired this seam as well. In short, we hope our repairs will hold up and that the other seams are well made. In summary, the quality control of this tent is clearly poor, or otherwise, we ended up with two lemons. At this price tag, it is nonsense.

Too fragile for me, for the rest alsmot perfect.
Me and my partner were looking for the perfect tent, we were going to live in it for a long long time and do lots and lots of hiking, but found it extremely hard to find a tent that would fulfill all our needs: lightweight, good ventilation due to the travel in different environments, sturdy (because we didn't want it to break lol and we were travelling in patagonia, which has lots and lots of wind) and roomy vestibules due to our two enormous backpacks. On our journey finding these tents we noticed that so many people had such different experiences with different tents, we also noticed that lots and lots of reviewed were definitely trustworthy because either the review was plainly fake (and thus overly positive) or they were not using the tent we were going to use it like. It was a frustrating search as every single tent seemed amazing until I found some rare harsh review burning it to the ground, or there was something crucial like bad ventilation we just couldn't afford in a journey of 6 months. So why did we choose this tent? We still didnt have actual experiences of people doing what we did but the reputation of this company was outstanding, the ventilation seemed perfect and people were positive about it. The new OSMO technology was very attractive, the weight was just right (even a bit too light but ill get to that later), the fibers and pole materials used seemed like the strength we were looking for, also the the fact we got proper stakes with the tent was also a big plus for us (and they were really good). Last but not least: compared to another tried and tested tent, the MSR hubba hubba, this tent had way more guy line connection points (which was crucial for the wind we were going to experience) and the vestibule was way roomier than the MSR. There were probably more positive points but I must have forgotten. Our only concern really: light weight tents seemed to have a tendency to just simply break or tear because light weight/ ultra light often times mean the companies made sacrifices in quality to make it lighter weight. Light weight has become a hype and its a shame the quality of tents have gone down that way. So the big question, how did we use it and what did we think? We have used the tent in numerous different environments: We camped over a month in patagonian winds and: it held. We encountered many MSR hubba hubbas coming back from the torres del paine hike with broken tent poles but our tent didn't have any such issues (the winds also weren't that bad in the park at that moment for us, so cant say for sure, but we did spend the night in lots of other places in patagonia where we were exposed to its signature winds). The tent poles are extremely flexible, to the point that I have had the outer tent up to my nose whilst sleeping when the winds got really bad, meaning the whole tent was almost flat but went straight back it to its form when the wind gusts went away. So big plus! Two negatives though: - the outer tent fabrics seemed to stretch over time, meaning it wouldn't hold its original posture anymore. Water would hit the inner tent sometimes and it seemed to catch more wind, function as kind of sail if you'd like. That brings me to my next point and also my biggest concern, the places where the guylines connect to the outer tent simply starting tearing. No other way to put it, the tent held the wind, but the fiber simply wasn't strong enough. We were forced to use ducttape, mind you, this started happening in the first month of our trip. Another place the fabric started tearing was the inner mesh, small parts of mesh started tearing at the inner tent zippers, being forced to also put duct tape on these places. So NEMO: fix these issues please, add those extra grams to make your tent more durable, this is not acceptable. Last but not least another negative point was the zippers: We like the two zipper system, it was handy and worked like a charm, BUT they are so light weight, so fragile that closing and opening got worse and worse, having to be forced to always be very cautious about opening and closing them. We had used another tent in Torres Del Paine, which was a little heavier but the zippers were to notch, they flew open and were super sturdy, it was a big quality of life we missed in the nemo. Sadly it didn't stop there, in time (6 months) the zippers started breaking down, some teeth started bending and the zipper head couldn't close the zipper properly anymore (meaning it would simply not close anymore, pretty hectic if you are to protect yourself from mosquitoes). We were told by nemo that this was due to a lack of cleaning, and yes our tent was not that clean, but fixing it was way harder then they advertised. And it was not simply clean and fix. Although cleaning the zipper thoroughly did seem to help close them better, it didn't fix the bent zipper head and in the end, after trying the steps they advertised for fixing the head, we had to replace it. Mind you this was at the end of our trip so we kind of gave up on the tent as it was not in a usable state anymore (more zippers started to malfunction). Could it have been our fault because we didn't keep the zippers clean?, yes definitely. Am I of the opinion that even if you kept them clean, the zippers would still break down over time? Yes, they always had felt fragile and I never liked them. These were the only negatives, so the other positives that seemed true before buying ended up being true after buying it: ventilation, tent pole strength, quality stakes, roomy vestibules etc etc. All in all we loved this tent, really we did, and we completed our journey, we were able to stay the night in all the places we were planning to (with the help of a little bit of ducttape ). Tearing tent fabric nonetheless is unacceptable, it really is. How can a tent protect your from the elements if it starts tearing after one month of use (inner and outer). So can I recommend this tent? I really want to, I really want this tent to be my dream tent because there is just so much good here, but I can't for the conditions we were using it in. Yet there is still no other tent I would trust buying in this bracket, which is a real shame and a good representation of the tent market. My take, save up more and buy a higher grade tent, sorry NEMO. Yet, there is a good chance that if you are using this tent in milder conditions, it will work perfect for you, it just wasn't what we expected. Mind you, I did call NEMO before buying this tent, talking about the trip we were going for, they approved. Nemo is a US company so they don't do any warranty outside of US, but through hard work we were still able to get a new tent through the webshop we bought it from originally. (We could have bought a higher grade lightweight tent but this was not in our budget, simple as that, also I was looking for pictures but couldn't find any, they were made by my partners phone)

Awesome Tent!
Great tent! materials are very lightweight yet feel durable. Only took it out twice so far but definitely is more than adequate for myself as a short trip backpacker. Squeezing two people in it is definitely doable, and the two doors come in handy. Very easy set up - everything is color coded and clips right into place. Love it!

Flimsy - very disappointed.
I bought this tent after a lot of research. I have used other Nemo products and always been impressed so I figured this tent would also be impressive. Unfortunately the tent developed a large hole on the bottom after 10 uses. I used a footprint and before setting the tent up I always looked over the ground and removed any sticks, rocks, ect. Regardless, I still got a large hole on the bottom of the tent! For such a pricey tent, I am very disappointed, and frankly angry, that it damages so easily. I don’t feel like I can rely on this tent in the backcountry and ultimately, I feel like it was a big waste of money. I will say that Nemo did offer to fix it when I asked, but because I’m from Canada I would have to ship it and cover the costs - adding more expense to a tent that has already shown to be too fragile to stand up to regular use. Nemo sent me some patches free of charge instead. I am glad they did, but it doesn’t address the fact that the tent is not durable enough to be used for what it was designed for.

Worked in thunderstorm
Bought this tent for backpacking with my wife. On our very first trip it worked for us in a severe thunderstorm without even flinching or using guy lines. I did use MSR ground hog stakes but that was it everything else was what came with the tent. Definitely actually high enough for two people. Had good ventilation all night long as well and enough room. For reference I am 5’11 200 and my wife is 5’5 150.

Worked in severe thunderstorm
I bought this tent for backpacking with my wife and on our very first trip it was put to the test. The two person version is definitively big enough for you and someone you’re close to and you have enough room to sleep without touching but just a few inches between each other and I had a few inches at the end of the tent. For context I’m 5’11 195 pounds and my wife is 5’5 150 pounds. We set up and staked out the tent fully without using any guy lines and the very first night were caught in a severe thunderstorm. There was intense rain, lightning, and 20-30 mile winds for several hours before it died down and the tent didn’t even flinch. It handled the weather with ease, no leaking whatsoever, and we had good ventilation as well with no condensation. It dropped from the 80s to the 40s at night. That night is when I realized how important it is to have gear you can depend on and as of now I have complete faith in my Nemo Dagger Osmo. Keep in mind my tent wasn’t even using guy lines either. I did use MSR ground hog stakes so I can’t speak on the stakes that come with the tent and I had the dagger groundsheet as well. Once you attach it to the bottom of the tent you can just leave it attached when you tear it down so you don’t have to worry about it ever again. The vestibules on either side were roomy enough for my gear and my wife’s and it kept everything dry. The pockets inside are convenient and the nightlight pocket for your headlamp actually works and isn’t a gimmick. The tent is easy to carry between two people but probably a little much by yourself. I would still personally use this for solo backpacking but think others would find it heavy.
