Hornet OSMO 2P Tent
The Hornet OSMO 2P Tent 2025 from Nemo Equipment is designed for those seeking an ultralight shelter with ample living space and comfort. Made with the ultralight variation of their OSMO™ suite of fabrics, this tent boasts 3x less wet stretch and superior water repellency. The OSMO fabric is crafted from 100% recycled yarns, is PFAS-free, and meets flame retardancy standards without added chemicals. This tent features a minimal pole structure for quick setup, enhanced by the volumizing Flybar™ and door clips for generous internal space. Triangulated reflective guyouts and corner struts increase volume at the foot, protecting your sleeping bags from condensation. New additions like the overhead Nightlight Pocket™ and Gatekeeper™ one-handed tiebacks add convenience without adding weight. The tent packs down efficiently into its rectangular Divvy Cube™ stuff sack, making it easy to store in your pack. Both the 2-person and 3-person models have two doors and two vestibules, offering great gear coverage. The 2P model weighs just two pounds.

What customers say
The Nemo Hornet OSMO 2P Tent consistently garners highly positive sentiment, primarily celebrated for its groundbreaking ultralight design. Customers, particularly avid backpackers and thru-hikers, rave about its incredibly low weight and remarkably compact packed size, which significantly reduces their load and enhances mobility on the trail. The innovative OSMO fabric is frequently lauded not only for its impressive strength-to-weight ratio and water repellency but also for Nemo's commitment to sustainability, resonating well with environmentally conscious consumers. Users find the tent surprisingly easy and quick to set up, even in challenging conditions, and appreciate the thoughtful design elements like the Flybar™ volume-increasing clip and the generous vestibules, which, despite the tent's minimalist footprint, offer crucial gear storage. However, the sentiment also reflects an understanding of the inherent trade-offs that come with an ultralight design. While praised for its weight, some users acknowledge that the interior space, especially for two people, can feel snug, and gear management inside the tent requires careful planning. The delicate nature of the ultralight fabric means that careful handling and site selection are paramount to prevent snags or tears, a point frequently mentioned but generally accepted as part of the ultralight experience. Occasional reports of condensation are present, though often attributed to specific environmental conditions rather than a fundamental flaw. Despite its premium price point, the overwhelming consensus is that the Hornet OSMO 2P delivers exceptional performance and value for its target audience, making it a top-tier choice for those who prioritize minimal weight without sacrificing essential functionality and quality in their backcountry adventures.
