help Nemo Hornet Osmo 2P FAQ
What makes the Osmo fabric on the Nemo Hornet 2P better than traditional nylon?
Osmo fabric is a 100% recycled polyester blend that dramatically reduces stretching or sagging when wet, meaning you don't have to re-tension your tent guylines in the rain. It also significantly improves water resistance and UV longevity compared to standard nylon tent materials.
How much does the Nemo Hornet Osmo 2P actually weigh?
The tent weighs an incredibly light 34 ounces for the fast-pitch setup with the fly, making it a favorite among ultralight backpackers on the Appalachian Trail. Even with the full setup including the canopy, it remains highly competitive for a two-person shelter.
Can two adults comfortably sleep in the Nemo Hornet 2P?
With a floor area of 27.6 square feet, the tent is quite narrow and is best described as a snug fit for two adult backpackers. To save weight, Nemo eliminated side wall verticality, meaning you will likely rub against the walls if you are using thick sleeping pads.
Does the Nemo Hornet Osmo 2P have enough vestibule space for two backpacks?
The tent features two tiny triangular vestibules that provide a combined storage space of roughly 10 square feet. While there is enough room to stash boots and small bags, it is generally too tight to comfortably store two large internal-frame backpacking packs without blocking the entrances.
