Low weight and great liveability for three
A roomy yet lightweight three-person tent, the Dragonfly Ultralight Backpacking 3P is ideal for weight-conscious backpackers prepared to share a tent but not each other’s personal space. New Osmo fabrics provide weather protection and enhanced performance. As well as being 100% recycled, this fabric is more eco-friendly and 20% stronger than the previous version, with 4 x better water repellency and 3 x less stretch when wet. The design incorporates a generous sleeping area, a central cross-pole for improved head height and twin porches to stash boots and packs. The tent doors can also be fully rolled back and secured for unhindered views – the ideal accompaniment to morning coffee after an epic wild camp in the hills.

The idea of NEMO was born one turbulent night on the side of Mount Washington while Cam Brensinger spent a sleepless five hours in a poorly designed bivy. That night he realised how much opportunity there was for thoughtful design as part of the equation of enjoying adventure. And, coming down off the mountain the next day, he resolved to tackle that challenge. Three days after graduation from Rhode Island School of Design, he founded NEMO Equipment.
