With their recycled, water-repellent, durable, and moisture-resistant OSMO™ fabric, these tents protect your sleeping area even when the ground is wet. And for a very competitive price considering the quality, they offer a complete package: self-supporting poles, optimized flysheet, cross ventilation, storage pockets, and compatibility with your trekking bags and mattresses.

The advantages of Nemo tents for hiking

Lightness and portability

When backpacking, every gram counts. Nemo tents use ultra-light and durable DAC Featherlite™ aluminum poles, making it easy to carry your gear even over several days. These freestanding models can be set up on any type of ground and fold into a compact size to fit in your backpack. For example, a Hornet 2-person tent weighs less than 1.1 kg. Ideal for bivouacs of 1 to 3 nights under the stars.

Weather protection

Thanks to OSMO™ fabric, your Nemo tents are ready for all seasons and all outdoor conditions. Resistant to rain, wind and ground moisture, the fabric keeps your sleeping area dry. Factory-sealed seams make the product 100% waterproof, and the double roof with cross ventilation prevents condensation during the night. Whether you're on a summer hike or an autumn bivouac, you'll sleep dry and warm.

Nemo Hornet: the ultra-light tent

The Hornet tent is the queen of Nemo's ultralight trekking tents. This product is perfect if you're looking for minimalist equipment for 1 or 2 people. With its quick setup and light weight, it leaves more space in your bags for your mattress, food, and bedding.

The Dragonfly tent offers more interior space and more floor space for your sleeping bag and mattresses. Ideal for 2 to 3 people, it remains easy to pitch thanks to its self-supporting structure and intuitive color coding. Perfect for long hikes where comfort is as important as lightness.

The Aurora tent is the perfect tent for those who want to share their bivouac. Available in several sizes (2, 3, or 4 people), it offers plenty of space and comfort close to classic camping. With its flysheet, storage pockets, and waterproof OSMO™ fabric, it's perfect for all seasons.

How to choose the right Nemo tent for your needs

Consider weight and height

• 1 person: choose an ultralight model like the Hornet to optimize your trekking bag.
• 2 people: a good compromise is the Dragonfly, enough space for 2 beds and all the bivouac equipment.
• 3 to 4 people: choose the Aurora, perfect for sharing the roof under the stars.

Analyze climatic conditions

• All seasons: choose OSMO™ fabric with a double roof and optimized ventilation.
• Wet seasons: Choose trekking tents with sturdy poles and quick pitching to protect your sleeping area upon arrival, and choose a flysheet that comes low to the ground to prevent splashes and water seepage. This keeps your bivouac area perfectly dry, even in prolonged heavy rain.
• Warm seasons: choose a more ventilated tent with large openings to enjoy the stars during your outdoor nights.
