Hornet Elite 2P Tent

Nemo Equipment puts to rest the notion that backpacking tents can't be spacious or comfortable with the Hornet Elite 2P Tent. This ultralight structure weighs just under two pounds, and maximizes efficiency on long-distance treks where the allotment of every single ounce is of utmost importance. A double door design with two vestibules helps you and your adventure partner unwind at the site with a roomy, flowing design, as well as store packs and muddy boots safely.


Keeping time on your side, the DAC Featherlite NFL pole attaches in a hubbed intersection for a quick set-up and easy freestanding pitching. Nylon fabric along the tent floor and vestibule cut down on weight, but not protection or durability, while PU and silicone coatings provide waterproof protection when you encounter unexpected afternoon downpours. In addition to the dual doors, the Hornet Elite's mesh canopy enhances air circulation in those hot, muggy conditions that come along with summertime backpacking.

Quality purchase with minor adjustments

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

As an avid backpacker I initially purchased this tent due to its minimal weight, size, and features. Having used this tent twice now with the footprint on overnight backpacking excursions in inclement weather, I am thoroughly impressed with the ease of set-up, adjustment and tightening features for the rain fly, and overall weight of the product itself. However, on the side of the tent closest to the head, I notice that the rain fly does a poor job of covering the thin tent wall. Even with the footprint, careful site selection and setup, water seemed to accumulate between areas of the footprint and the thin tent floor leading to a wet floor in mild rain. Luckily my sleeping pad kept my bag and gear dry, but I am concerned that this could become a problem during heavier storms. If NEMO could improve this aspect of their rain-fly design to protect the tent better in heavy rain it would certainly lend itself better to such a high price.
