Hornet Osmo 2P lightweight hiking tent

The Nemo Hornet OSMO 2P is among the lightest semi-freestanding double-wall hiking tents on the market. It is also relatively spacious in floor area for a tent in this category.

 

A very spacious tent

Choosing a lightweight hiking tent usually means accepting limited space.
The Hornet Osmo 2P tent is an exception: its innovative pole configuration tensions the walls to provide comfortable interior space from floor to ceiling, unlike other tents whose walls quickly slope inwards.
The living space is optimised for 2, with 2 large side entrances and 2 porches for storing gear.
Its 2 entrances and 2 porches make access and gear storage easy.
The included guy lines and space-enhancing attachments can increase interior space by 15%. Wide clips attaching the inner to the pole also increase overall volume.

A compact, ultralight and versatile tent.

This lightweight 2-person hiking tent is also compact and durable, well suited to trekking or 3-season camping.
It offers excellent ventilation thanks to its mesh canopy in warm climates.
This tent is very versatile: use it as a double-wall tent for complete protection, or with just the flysheet and poles to minimise weight.
This option is naturally less comfortable, but lets you leave behind the inner tent.
Its design uses a single, very light and strong Featherlite pole with a branching configuration.
This pole has half as many attachments as most ultralight tents, making pitching and packing away easy and exceptionally quick while reducing weight.

The new Osmo fabric

Made from poly-nylon, Osmo fabric combines the best properties of Polyester and Nylon.
It delivers 4 times longer-lasting water repellency and 3 times less stretch when wet.
It is also more environmentally friendly, using 100% recycled yarns without PFCs, PFAS or flame-retardant chemicals. 

Details that make a difference:

The inner tent has a wide opaque lower band for greater privacy and security.
It also has high-mounted Light Pocket storage pockets made from fabric that diffuses light to illuminate the whole tent interior.

This lightweight hiking tent also includes:

• waterproof compression sack with two drawcord closure levels;
• Y-shaped pegs with end cords for easy removal;
• guy line cord;
• repair kit.

Other features:

• Fabrics: OSMO Ripstop (1200 mm), mosquito netting: 15D Nylon Ripstop/ No-See-Um Mesh
• Groundsheet: OSMO™ Ripstop (1500 mm)
• 8.5 mm Featherlite NFL DAC pole

The structure is semi-freestanding: the foot-end corners must be pegged down to tension the inner correctly.
