Posted by Mark Richardson on Mar 27, 2024

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. Now made with our composite OSMO™ fabric, this ultralight shelter promises excellent water repellency that lasts 4x longer and resists stretch when wet. Designed with shortened pole segments, it stows easily in a stuff sack that’s been optimized for bike travel with tie down straps to eliminate wobble. With the adjustable straps, it can securely fasten to handlebars, a rack, or a frame.

 

Mayfly OSMO

Super-Durable 68D Floor, Spacious & Semi-Freestanding

Armed with NEMO’s top-performing OSMO™ fabric on the fly, Mayfly OSMO is a notably durable backpacking shelter for adventurers ready to hit the trail. A proprietary composite fabric, OSMO is made from 100% recycled polyester and nylon yarns and repels water 4x longer than standard tent fabrics — all while stretching 3x less when wet. OSMO fabrics meet fire retardant standards without the use of added chemicals and are treated with PFAS-free waterproofing.

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.

 

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 four-season tent delivers the first big innovation in mountaineering tents in decades by integrating the fly with the body of the tent. That, paired with an external pole structure, allows for setup in half the time, a valuable time savings in extreme weather. This innovation also trims weight by 25% while maintaining category-leading ventilation, vestibule space, and guy-out options. Finally, its silicone-treated fabrics are significantly stronger and don't require seam tape, resulting in increased durability.
