NemoDragonfly Ultralight Backpacking Tent, 1 Person

Here is the short pros and cons list, followed by a more lengthy review. This is for the 2P tent, which is fantastic. The 1P is terrible, for one gigantic reason that I mention at the end.Pros:- Only weighs 2lbs 15oz, and can be further reduced with some quick swaps- Amazing quality materials, very roomy, every bit as nice as the closest competitor: BA Copper Spur UL2- Gigantic vestibules- Best doors on any tent. Huge and well-designed, does not drop to ground when openedCons:- Stuff sack is heavy and opening is too small, difficult to pack away the tent. Should be replaced, I like the Z-packs stuff sacks. Saves 0.6oz- Lowest gear pocket inside tent requires sitting up to reach. Some lower pockets would be nice.- Ventilation options are inferior to copper spur. There really should be a vent up top, instead of requiring rainfly doors to be partially open.The pros are what really matters, the cons are minor nitpicks. The stakes includes are good quality y stakes. You only really need 4 of them though, I would replace 4 others with ultralight j-stakes that weigh 5g or 6g each and use these for the vestibule. You don't really need the y-stakes for the vestibule stake-out IMO, but there's a case to be made for bringing 6 y-stakes and only replacing 2 with j-stakes. Either way, there's another ounce or two of weight savings this way.All in all, this is a worthy competitor to the BA Copper Spur, and IMO is better since it is 4oz lighter. If only they actually properly advertised the weight!I also tried the 1P version and it is terrible IMO, they make a sacrifice on the non-entry side to the rainfly where it only goes down halfway and the tent wall makes up the difference for rain protection. The result is that the exposed tent wall caves in significantly at the slightest gust of wind, not good in a tent that is already extremely narrow. You'll have a face-full or nylon every time the wind-blows.

Incredibly light and packs small. I set it up in the dark the first time and it was really easy. Everything is color coated and the tie downs for steaks have reflective material in the string to see better with a light at night. I like itUpdate: Slept through and stood up to a snowy night and morning. Still my go to tent for backpacking these last few years.

Actually used this the first time on a solo hike that ended up in the snow and cold at 6,500 ft.Like my other Nemo tent (the 2P version) this was great. Assembled fast. Sturdy in the wind.To help keep the cold in I pulled the non-door side of the fly down against the side to cover up the mesh and it worked well.The only issues I've had with my Nemo tents are that the zippers tend to snag, but I can live with that.Can't comment on the waterproofness of the tub since I've been lucky enough not to be over-nighting in any deluges lately.

Very nice tent.But will have to use it for years before I know how it will stand the test of time.

best tent ever
