Weather Protection

OSMO Weather Resistant Fabric Technology

• • One of the Dagger OSMO’s most unique features is its super durable, waterproof tent fabric made from 100% recycled fabrics.
  • OSMO fabric is made from a combination of polyester AND nylon (both made from 100% recycled yarns), to give the tent extra strength and water protection.

  • The Dagger includes adjustable guy lines for superior wind resistance, helping to maintain structural integrity even during high winds or heavy rains.

Airflow and Ventilation

The NEMO Dagger OSMO is designed with airflow and breathability in mind.

• • The tent features a two-door entry, providing multiple ventilation points to minimize condensation buildup by promoting air circulation throughout the interior space.
  • It also comes equipped with adjustable, protected vents in the rainfly to provide airflow even during rain storms.
  • The tent has zippered windows along the side walls, with mesh screens for extra airflow.

Interior Space and Livability

In spite of being a lightweight backpacking tent, the NEMO Dagger OSMO provides a decent amount of livable space.

• • The tent is made with single-wall construction.
  • While the 3.5 ft peak height is a bit short, the Dagger has floor dimensions of 7.5 x 4.17 feet, providing enough room for movement and space inside the tent.

Large vestibules

The NEMO Dagger OSMO 2P Tent’s two expansive trapezoidal vestibules provide additional storage space for your camping gear. Additionally, both large vestibules have a Landing Zone storage tub to keep your gear dry and clear of dust and dirt.

This product is designed with backpackers in mind as they need easy access to their gear while out on their days spent exploring and gathering adventures.

Ease of Setup

The NEMO Dagger OSMO tent has a quick and easy setup process, with a single hubbed pole system that creates one pole structure instead of requiring separate individual poles to make the whole operation much easier.

The intuitive design removes out a lot of guesswork, which makes setting up this tent hassle-free, even in tricky conditions like strong winds or low light settings.

Pros and Cons

This tent offers a great set of features including spacious interior, extra storage pockets, large vestibules, easy setup and take down as well as durability to ensure it can handle harsher weather conditions.

Pros: Spacious, durable, easy to set up

It’s made with durable materials such as strong pole structure and waterproof fabric, ensuring your protection in bad weather.

Cons: May not be suitable for harsh weather

The NEMO Dagger OSMO 2P Tent is designed for backpackers and best used in 3-season conditions, so it may not be suitable for harsh weather. It features durable nylon fabrics that are waterproof but not as technical as other tents built to withstand alpine or winter ascents.

Its aluminum poles provide wind resistance, however, its shelter isn’t insulated and the triangular side vents act like wind tunnels when exposed to high winds.
