Nemo says:
Dragonfly™ Bikepack OSMO™ is an ultralight tent tailored specifically for two-wheeled journeys, canoe trips, and other excursions where its ultra-small pack-down size makes a huge difference. Now made with an improved pole structure and unique cross bar that increases its interior space, this Dragonfly can travel swiftly and truly stretch its wings.The stronger, more stable pole set is paired with NEMO`s custom Elements™ hardware collection, which includes a new forged hub design that enables the crossbar “wings” to angle upward before tension is applied.
Once the tent is clipped in and tensioned, this Precurve™ approach creates a near-horizontal roof and ample headroom at more than just the peak. Lightweight variations of our Axial™ corner anchor are included to make the rain fly attachment process painless. A roomy interior is only a plus when you`re protected from harsh weather, and that`s where OSMO™ comes in.
A stealthy, solution-dyed version of our proprietary fabric is used on this tent, and it continues to excel at repelling water and staying taut even when wet. Even better, it has a superior tear strength to complement this tent`s now-tougher frame. (Crazy winds? Bring ‘em on.) The generously sized doors pair with roomy vestibules and a Landing Zone™ storage “tub” that can be placed on either side of the tent to help protect gear from muddy terrain. Inside, a gear loft and pockets keep belongings tidy while an overhead Nightlight Pocket™ casts headlamp light with a warm, even glow.
Included, as well, is a configurable daisy chain that can be positioned both inside and outside the tent to aid in drying wet gear. When it`s time to move, Dragonfly Bikepack neatly stores away in its bike-optimized dry bag, an updated design that`s sized for easy packing, opens from either end, and securely attaches (without wobble!) to the headtube and handlebars. NEMO`s Adventure Forever Guarantee™ covers this product to help keep the journey smooth on your roads ahead.
