NEMO Hornet Elite OSMO 2P Ultralight Tent

NEMO built the Hornet Elite OSMO 2P Ultralight Tent for backpackers who count grams but refuse to give up usable interior space. OSMO ripstop fabric pushes water repellency and tear strength higher than standard silnylon while reducing the long-term sag and stretch that ruins ultralight tents after a few wet trips.

It is a true two-person three-season tent in the sub-2-pound class, with a freestanding architecture that earns its place on long PCT-style thru-hikes, alpine trips, and ultralight weekends. The trade-off ultralight buyers usually accept (fragile floors, clammy walls, condensation issues) is what NEMO actually engineered out of this design.

What separates it

• Ultralight 2-person three-season architecture in the sub-2-pound class.
• OSMO ripstop fabric for improved water repellency and reduced stretch.
• Designed for thru-hikers, alpine trips, and serious backpacking weekends.
• Smart interior layout that preserves usable headroom and gear storage.

For backpackers building a serious ultralight kit without compromising weather performance, this is the 2P ultralight tent worth committing to.
