Dragonfly OSMO Tent: 1-Person 3-Season

Description

Why We Like The NEMO Dragonfly OSMO Tent

The NEMO Dragonfly OSMO Tent is a top choice for solo adventurers. Designed for three-season use, this lightweight tent weighs just over two pounds, making it easy to carry on long treks. Despite its compact size, it offers enough space to sleep comfortably throughout multi-day trips.

One of the standout features of this tent is its use of NEMO's proprietary, GRS-certified, 100% recycled OSMO fabric for the fly and floor. Not only does this fabric provide exceptional strength, but it also boasts robust water-repellency, ensuring you stay dry and protected during inclement weather. What sets it apart is the fabric's minimal stretching when wet, meaning your tent will retain its shape and stability even in challenging conditions. Plus, the use of this fabric aligns with sustainable practices, making the tent an environmentally friendly choice. Furthermore, it is free from PFAS (perfluoroalkyl substances) and PFCs (perfluorinated chemicals), which are potentially harmful chemicals found in many outdoor gear products.

The NEMO Dragonfly OSMO Tent offers several other noteworthy details for camping enthusiasts:

  • Integrated OSMO ripstop tub: This feature ensures the tent's floor is durable and waterproof, providing added protection from the elements.
  • Silicone-impregnated OSMO fly: The fly is treated with silicone, enhancing its weather resistance and keeping you dry in rainy conditions.
  • Chemical-free OSMO fabric: The OSMO fabric used in this tent is free from PFCs, PFASs, and fire-retardant chemicals, giving you peace of mind regarding potential health risks associated with certain chemicals.
  • Color-coded poles and webbing: Setup is quick and hassle-free thanks to the color-coded poles and webbing, ensuring you can pitch your tent in no time.
  • Pre-bent DAC Featherlite poles: These specially designed poles optimize the tent's volume and stability, making it more efficient and comfortable to use.
  • Large door and trapezoidal vestibule: The large door and vestibule provide easy entry and plenty of space for storing gear, ensuring you have ample room for your essentials.
  • Internal overhead Light Pockets: With these convenient pockets, you can turn your headlamp into a soft-lit lantern, creating a cozy ambiance inside the tent.

Overall, the NEMO Dragonfly OSMO Tent offers an exceptional combination of lightweight design, durable construction, sustainable materials, and user-friendly features, making it an excellent choice for any solo backpacking adventure.
