Osmo Colour Revive (Intense Copper)

Product Information

Whatever the case may be, our preference is that the easier a tent is to set up, the better. Of course, domes for alpine basecamps are going to be more difficult than a two-person bug net. This tent is more than just light. It’s also a very legit abode in bad weather. On rainy, stormy nights on the trail, the Hornet Elite Osmo kept our team dry and comfortable. First, it’s extremely intuitive to pitch, requiring under half the time as some other ultralight shelters we’ve tested. The tent can miraculously be pitched with a minimum of four stakes, and requires little to no guesswork on stake location. We aren’t aware of any other shelter using two trekking poles that boasts this ability. This is due to its rectangular design with offset trekking pole locations between a diagonal sleeping area. Without getting too much into the weeds of this mathematical layout, this effectively maximizes sleeping and vestibule space, utilizing a shape that handles wild wind and snow like a champ.

Pastel Metallics—5 shades of perfect pastels to offer gloss, shine and bang-on-trend shades with a beautiful metallic finish, including Apricot, Aquamarine, Ice, Lilac and Strawberry; Nemo offers a lifetime warranty on this tent. In our experience, Nemo's customer service has been responsive and friendly, which is better than we can say for many tent brands. Minimal stretch when wet

If you are confident in the forecast, dropping the fly can bring you to what some call “trail weight,” which refers to leaving out the extra parts to achieve the bare minimum weight. The Unbound can’t evade the common complaints of single-wall trekking pole shelters: condensation calamities, difficult setups on hard ground, and large footprint requirements. But these are to be expected, and impact all tents in this category. The DCF5 canopy, fully taped seams, and generous bathtub floor keep all-day rain at bay, and we love the low-profile waterproof zippers. Though we did find them to be a bit difficult to close when the tent is taught. We love the Dragonfly, but it's not the widest model. The interior width is 50 inches, tapering to a tighter-feeling 45 inches at the feet. This tent is also a significant investment, so we think it's best for folks who already have a trip planned or know they will get a lot of use out of it. If you want more width than the Dragonfly offers, the Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL2 gives you a couple extra inches, although the taper is even slimmer at the feet. All things considered, the Dragonfly is exceptional for its balance of performance and weight — a combination that we would take with us on almost any adventure.

Setup and takedown are also easy. Once familiar with the tent, our testers were able to set it up easily in less than 5 minutes. Super Blondes (12.x)—10 shades of incredible Scandinavian blondes and the new name for theUber Blondes family; All returned items should be sent insured via recorded delivery to Dennis Williams, 9 Kingsmark, Freeway Euroway Trading Estate (west), Oakenshaw, Bradford, BD12 7HW.

Surcharges apply to the following locations The Channel Islands & Isles of ScillyThere is a screen between the bathtub floor and the tent walls, which can be sloped downward by an elastic cord that keeps the bathtub elevated. This allows the condensation to run down the wall and fall through the sloping screen, as opposed to onto the floor.

Colour Intensifiers/Correctors—6 shades (3 intensifiers, 3 correctors) for mixing with other shades to intensify or correct; Double-wall designs are far more common for three-season or summer tents. Removable rain flies are a plus if all you need is a barrier from the mosquitos and you want to stargaze. The Two is constructed with a light nylon and SilNylon combo, a fully waterproof, slightly stretchy material perfect for reducing weight without sacrificing strength and durability. It holds out rain phenomenally, and the catenary cut allows for solid drainage so water doesn’t build up anywhere.

OSMO Colour Revive

Unlike many ultralight options, which depend on trekking poles, this is a freestanding tent. It uses a clever three-pole design with a small “Flybar” where they all connect to give it that extra bit of volume. It has a mesh interior and utilizes an integrated rainfly to keep out bugs, rain, and wind. The ventilation is ample even when the rainfly is on. There can be some vibration and flapping on the rainfly in the wind. And if you use this tent in the winter, make sure your sleeping bag is warm when it’s cold out. We also love the 2,500 mm sil/PEU coated polyester used as the waterproof fabric, as it doesn’t sag when wet, and holds up longer to UV exposure than other fabrics that are commonly used. This adds some weight, but boosts durability, and our tester was pleased that he didn’t have to worry about tightening up stakeout points mid-rainstorm late at night. We agreed that the light bar idea was overly clever and that we would probably never use it. Furthermore, you stuff the tent body into one bag, the fly into another, and the poles into the tube. This allows users to split the load or drop elements of the tent from the trip (as you can set up the fly without the body for ultralight use).
