The Nemo tent should be on your shortlist if you're looking for a tent. It's compact, lightweight and durable. The tent comes with an inner cover and other accessories that make it ideal for backpacking. It is easy to set-up.
The Nemo makes a great backpacker choice, whether you are a solo or a couple. The Nemo uses high-quality materials and has many nice features, including the curved zipper doors that open to the rain fly. The tent does have some downsides. The most notable is that it's not well vented when guyed out. It is prone to condensation in cold temperatures. It can also be difficult to access the zip fly when it's wet. For maximum comfort, choose a larger bag.
In addition, the Nemo has a fairly large footprint. Although it isn't as portable as smaller tents, it's easy to transport. It will add a few pounds to your luggage, but that's not too much. The tent's footprint is slightly larger than the actual tent. This makes it more difficult for the included stuff sack to fit, but it still fits.
The bungee Windows are another feature that makes this tent stand out. This allows you to have a more compact and versatile set of windows. They also use clips instead of zippers, which is a handy feature. The headlamp holder is a cool bonus, but it's a bit small for the whole tent. There are also some pockets that are small and inefficient, but they are useful if you need to store items.
The tent is quite high inside. The vestibule looks a bit sloppy. The rainfly's curved zipper doors are also a joke. A large side pocket on the Nemo tent can store glasses and other small items. It's also the first tent I've seen that uses a headlamp holder.
The Nemo Tent is a good choice for two or more people, as well as a large family. The curved zipper doors on the rainfly make for easier access and improved humidity levels in the interior. These curved zippers are annoying in that they can't be attached to small tabs.
The main problem with this tent? It isn't built to withstand Colorado's type of weather. Although it was fine in a severe windstorm, it wasn't designed to withstand that kind of weather. We have survived a few other storms and not suffered any major damage. The tent is still in great shape and will be used again soon.
The Nemo Wagontop 4P can be considered a higher-end tent than the LL Bean Kingdom. It's a great tent for car camping or families, and offers a surprising amount of livable space. Although it isn't as tall as other tents it is a good choice for those who have limited standing space.
