Why We Like The Hornet Ultralight 2P Tent

Nemo's Hornet 2P Tent is an ultralight backpacker with personal features for us and a camping partner. We appreciate that its no-see-um mesh canopy provides plenty of ventilated airflow, while PeU-coated ripstop helps the vestibule, fly, and floor resist abrasion, dirt, and rainfall. The one-piece DAC Featherlite NFL pole offers an easy setup as well as an expanded interior.


Unlike most ultralight tents, the Hornet 2P features two doors so your backpacking buddy doesn't crawl over you in the middle of the night. The tent's stuff sack can hold all the gear, or just the fabrics if you two are going to split the load. Nemo also included guy-out cords, a repair kit, and stakes for the utmost camping convenience.

My First Nemo Tent

This tent has become one of my new favorites. It is easy to setup and makes a great foundation for the big three in my backpacking kit. I have enjoying this so much that I use my Hornet 2P when I go car camping as well.

Hornet 2p not ideal for rain

I like the hornet 2p but only for sunny dry days. The cut out fly exposes too much tent. In a heavy downpour, water got in thru the mesh even though it was fully guyed out. Also if you touch the single exposed tent layer when it is wet, say with your bag or pad, it will get wet. If you sleep cold this is not your tent, go for something with a full fly. I love the weight, and this is a good tent for dry days.

Awesome ultralight option

There’s an awesome ultralight tan that really maximize your space to weight ratio. However being a lightweight tent it is important to note that I would not feel comfortable using this for car camping every weekend, save it for when weight matters!

Well Tested

Hi everyone I just bought this tent for its features ( 2 doors, You can sit up in, 2 person and lightweight. The price was a little more than I wanted to pay. But to get what you really want you have to do that. No compromise!. I took Hornet 2 P away over the weekend and the first night is windy and you know with some tents you get that flapping sort of thing when windy. Well, the Hornet 2p didn't. And the second night it rained and at times real heavy and I was dry as a button. The next morning gave it a shake and hung it up to dry and it did in no time while I had my breakfast and coffee. Thanks, Nemo money well spent.

Outstanding Ultra light tent!

I have had this Hornet 2P tent for about 3 months now and am totally satisfied. Previously i had a previous version but the enhancements to this latest version really make a difference! i.e. the sturdier clips at the top, the enhanced tie out loops, etc.

Super Light and Quick Setup

This tent is extremely easy to store in a pack. It is so light, I barely recognized the added weight. Another great feature is how easy it is to setup. It takes very minimal time. I have found 2P to be a bit tight for two large individuals. You can fit, but it'll be a bit tight.

HORNET 2P TENT

Purchased last month. So far have only set up in the woods behind my house to waterproof etc but set up is super easy and incredibly light. Very spacious for me and my pup. Seems to have great ventilation. I need to purchase the footprint. My only concern is the thin fabric tearing. Can't wait to get it out in the wild this summer :)
