NEMO Equipment Inc. Hornet 2P Tent: 2-Person 3-Season

We used this tent once in a pretty heavy rain, with two people.
We were almost entirely dry, however:
1) If you are tall, and/or have two people in there (so you cannot sleep diagonally), your feet will inevitably push the back of the tent against the fly and get a bit wet. It's not end of the world as long as you put a garbage bag over the end of your sleeping bag.
2) The ventilation system means similar problem to a lesser extent can happen on the front as you are touching the wet fabric. The fabric there seems to be better than the fly though so it didn't get wet except from condensation.
Other than that the tent held up remarkably well. We did guy it pretty well though, the fly otherwise didn't look too encouraging without the guy lines. I can imagine it touching the tent and making it wet.

I feel like this has potential to be a superb tent, but the pursuit of ultralight went too far IMO.
Eh, I hit edit and half of my review disappeared.
In short, adding maybe 1oz could have allowed for better ventilation, zippers, vestibules (they are small and narrow, with the widest space in front of the door; we used one for storage with 2 packs blocking the door and a guy line under the vestibule zipper to hold the tent wall against the packs, and one for both people to exit), and floor attachment (a plastic attachment piece snapped when I tried to guy it with the tent, I had to guy the front separately on one side, it's smaller or smth).
In fact replacing the back 1-2 pole segments with 2-4 segments in a Y shape would have made this freestanding and probably eliminated the need to guy everything religiously to keep it neat and dry... at hardly any gain in weight.

This tent is super light though, and packs really small, so that's the advantage.
Perfect for one tall person in fair weather, great for one person in the rain (pack in tent) or two in fair weather, good for two people in the rain :)

really impressed with the Hornet, Great in the wind and rain. Packs Great.

Hiked the Pacific Crest Trail with the 2p tent....2650 miles...a day shy of 5 months and this tent was AWESOME. Super light and easy to set up. I have fit another person and dog in this tent and the double vestie feature was money. Nemo is a wonderful company and is always coming up with innovative ideas.

I have tried many tents and this one passed the test. Its very light, has great door openings and is very easy to set up. However I'm 6'2 230lb. and toss a lot so I recommend it for one person if your in my size range.

I love this tent! Haven't put it through too much yet - just a couple drizzly nights in the Uintas and some quiet desert nights, so I can't speak to the durability of this tent in inclement weather. However, this tent is super light for backpacking which I love. It's a super easy and FAST set-up, which i've found relieving if i'm not able to set-up camp till after it gets dark. Lastly, the two doors are pretty great if you have another person with you - climbing over another person to get out of a tent can be kind of annoying and disturbing if they're still snoozin'. I'd definitely recommend this tent.

Search no longer for the perfect backpacking tent. I had my skepticism but here is my review.
Its natural to be worried about the durability of the walls considering the thinness, but the tent has been put to the test. Its been poked and prodded my sticks, shrubs, and even dog claws.
This tent fit my buddy and I. Im 6'3'' 200lbs and it was a perfect fit. Dont get me wrong, we were not sleeping in a king sized bed, but it got the job done just as it needed to be. It got pretty cold outside (15f) so we even ended up pulling in my dog from the vestibule into the tent in order to huddle for warmth. While it was a little snug with two men and a dog, it did the trick.
The set up was easy and takes merely a minute or two once you get the hang of it. The single pole practically sets itself up which makes putting the tent up in the dark all that much easier.
The rain fly works like a charm I made it through monsoon like conditions and even snow without a single issue. I would like to see a bit better circulation in the tent, when it gets below freezing we end up waking to frost all over the tent. Yet, this is only a 3 season tent so there is really not much to complain about.
I would recommend getting the footprint as I'd be a little concerned with the bottom of the tent being poked.
Overall, an amazing tent. I would highly recommend you stop wasting hours trying to find a lightweight yet sizable tent; you're looking right at it.

Set the tent up in my living room and was surprised at how lightweight it was. Not gonna lie, nervous about the durability of the material. Feels paper thin, or more like tissue paper thin, but I have read many reviews of people using it on thru-hike. I am excited to try it out and will update again once I've put it through some shtuff.

This is a very interesting style of tent with only 3 contact points on the poles. It helps lighten it up though! I refuse to buy a tent that is not freestanding because half the time I camp in areas where you can't get a stake in the ground. You can use rocks to pull out the corners, or even through some of your stuff in the corners to prop it up. I love how this 2p tent has 2 doors and 2 vestibules! I love storing my gear in one vestibule, and getting in and out on the other side.
