Hornet Elite OSMO
The Lightest
Delivering 4x more lasting water repellency and 3x less stretch when wet, our new OSMO tent fabric is also made from 100% recycled yarns free from any PFC or PFAS. The first of its kind, it was carefully designed for both exceptional performance and reduced impact on the planet.
The Elite moniker means we’ve examined every detail of this tent for weight savings and performance enhancement. Our Nightlight Pocket™ headlamp diffuser adds a warm glow at night without the weight of built-in lighting. And our Flybar™ volumizing pole clip brings headroom to the interior volume without adding unnecessary ounces. The Hornet Elite OSMO tent also features our convenient new Gatekeeper™ door tie-back.
Hornet OSMO
Ultralight Backpacking
For those in search of an ultralight shelter with greater volume, Hornet OSMO offers enviable living space and comfort without sacrificing its airy weight classification. Ranging in capacity from 1P to 3P, Hornet OSMO™ is made with the ultralight variation of our OSMO™ suite of fabrics, arming it with 3x less wet stretch and a level of water repellency that starts drier and stays drier than the rest. (Even better? With OSMO, we’ve cut out forever chemicals and carbon emissions, along with any unnecessary weight).
Dragonfly OSMO
Freestanding, Spacious & 10D Fabrics
Dragonfly OSMO offers an ideal balance of weight and liveability in a freestanding tent, and it’s now made with NEMO’s proprietary OSMO™ fabric for enhanced performance and sustainability. Several years in the making, our OSMO 100% recycled composite fabric is PFAS-free, repels water 4x longer, and stretches 3x less when wet — all while boasting a 20% increase in strength compared to similar fabrics.
Our updated Divvy Cube™ stuff sack allows for easily splitting the weight with a partner and stows more efficiently in your pack.

Dragonfly OSMO Bikepack
Shorter Packed Poles & Extra Storage Options
The Dragonfly™ Bikepack OSMO™ tent is tailored specifically for two-wheeled journeys, canoe trips, and other excursions where its ultra-small pack-down size will make a huge difference.

Dagger OSMO
Spacious Ultralight & Recycled Fabrics
Lightweight enough for backpacking, yet roomy enough for comfort on any adventure. Dagger OSMO is one of the first tents in our iconic backpacking collection to feature our new proprietary OSMO™ fabric with advanced water repellency that lasts 4x longer and keeps you drier from start to finish. This composite fabric has 3x less stretch when wet, reducing sag and maintaining wind and rain shedding in any weather. OSMO fabrics are completely PFC- and PFAS-free, meet fire retardant standards without the use of added chemicals, and are woven from 100% recycled yarns.
Dagger Ridge OSMO
Roomier, tougher, and still impressively light, the latest Dagger Ridge OSMO leans into comfort, striking a fine balance between backcountry function and in-camp livability.
The updated pole geometry makes a noticeable difference; it provides more shoulder and headroom, higher door clearance, and a genuinely useful boost in vestibule space. For two people sharing, it’s fantastic for a night or two away, though you will not be able to both use wide mats. It’s perfect for solo multi-day hikes, offering plenty of space for you and your gear to sprawl.
Kunai
Versatile for Backpacking Year-Round
Kunai™ is the most versatile tent on the market for backpacking year-round. It's truly in a category of its own, able to handle everything from hot and humid days in the trees to frigid temps and exposure high in the mountains. If you're outfitting for an adventure that will take you across many landscapes and through a wide range of conditions, there's no better choice.
Chogori
Mountaineering Expedition
This is a high-quality, four-season, two-person mountaineering and expedition tent. The Chigori it’s a really simple, easy-to-erect tent, even in harsh conditions. With a little practice, you will have this tent up in minutes. The inner and outer go up at the same time, so the inner is protected from the weather. It’s a Geodesic design, making it very strong and simple to put up. Lay the tent flat, insert the two crossover poles into their grommets, and then attach the middle support poles. Clip the tent onto the poles, insert the vestibule pole and tension the tent using the guylines. We checked that The whole process could be done by two in less than 5 minutes, though we haven't had it up in a blizzard.
