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.

Doors!
Very pleased with weight, stuff sacks, features. I’ve had a few lightweight tents but this one is loaded with features and functionality

Dragonfly Osmo- InTENTS, in all the right ways!
Incredibly lightweight gear! Very happy with how this tent worked out for us. We thru-hiked the Trans Catalina Trail in March- the Dragonfly Osmo was easy/quick to put up and take down each day, fast drying, and truly the lightest tent we've ever carried. Hiking with it was an absolute breeze.

Rain Fly Too Short!!
Upon the first use of my tent, I had my initial concerns about the rain fly being too short on the "tall" end of the tent. I had my tent set up on high ground and we had moderate rain for entire 1st day and had significant puddling of water on top of the tent foot print. I didn't notice the puddling water unitl we packed up on the 3rd day. The rain fly on the "tall" end of the tent needs to extend all the way to the ground like the other 3 sides. Water ran off the fly, onto the tent wall and down and under the tent and puddled on top of the nemo footprint. Perhaps using the guy line loop fly on the "tall" end would have helped this issue but a full length fly would most certainly help. Also nemo needs to add a loop on the "short" end of the tent fly to pull the fly away with another guy line. Fly was in contact with the tent wall and our sleeping bags were damp at the toe end. I will say I was very grateful the fabric on the bottom of the tent was very water proof as i only had one small spot where there was a very small amount of seepage in the standing water. I do like the ease of setup, the compact packed size, the light weight and the roominess of the 3P tent for 2 people.

Our go to tent.
This tent is light and packs down very small. Purchased for backpacking and whitewater trips in Idaho, Oregon,California and Utah. This tent works great for 3 seasons and hiking with grandchildren and our dog. 3 average adults fit snugly in it, for 2 adults it is roomy and well vented. Free standing, and easy to put up.

Perfect Tent!
This is a spectacular tent. I love that it's freestanding but still very lightweight compared to other freestanding tents. I purchased the 3P and there is endless room inside. This tent does great in all types of weather and will always keep you dry. My favorite tent ever

Lightweight and easy to travel
Just used this tent for a bikepacking trip across Vermont. I lugged a 2-person tent from another brand across NH last year and this saved me about 4 pounds in extra weight. As you know, every ounce counts when you are cruising through gravel trails for 45+ miles a day. This tent was also extremely easy to set up and break down, which was really key when you are exhausted. I am trying to get my whole team to get this tent. I love it!

Fantastic for tripping with kids
I picked this up to be my go to tent when traveling with one of my kids. The 3 person is roomy. I backed this up with a double air matt and made for a great set up for traveling with one of my kids. The pockets... There are so many and so well thought out. The weight is incredible and really helps when you're carrying for 2.

Most versatile tent ever!
Bought the 3 man dragonfly osmo a few months ago for my cousin, my brother and I and I never regretted it. It has so many features to making camping and packing so much easier. It has vents to prevent tent condensation, and plenty of breathable features for summer time. It packs super light. I’ll give my cousin the poles and then use the role top to close the tent down to about half the size!! Love it with all my heart and am a big fan of the osmo fabric! Also a huge fan of the amount of pockets.

Killer tent. Super light.
When looking for a new backpacking tent I knew I wanted to get one with a little more space to share with my 5 and 3 year olds. Although a 3-man tent is heavier, the OSMO fabric seems to keep the weight down. I'm surprised at the roominess this tent provides for the size and weight it packs down to. I also appreciate the divvy cube setup so I can remove the poles and stuff the tent into a tighter spot in my pack. I just put the poles in a side pocket of my pack. Setup of this tent is easy to do and intuitive. The hubbed aluminum poles a great. This tent perfectly compliments my Disco Sleeping bag and Tensor Pad. I love Nemo products. Nice job, Nemo Equipment!

Awesome Tent!
So far, I’ve taken this tent out in the desert, high mountains, and everything in between and it’s been great. The fly has held up really well and the overhead storage features make it really easy to organize my equipment. I also love the storage bag that it comes in. If you remove poles, it rolls down to about the size of a Nalgene water bottle. Would recommend for anyone looking for a lightweight, freestanding tent.
