NEMO’s lightest two-person backpacking tent
Most ultralight shelters are fairly spartan. The Hornet Osmo Elite is different, offering greater comfort and living space on the trail without adding weight. Its minimalist design utilises a single hubbed pole construction for quick set-up. 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. Triangular corner struts and a unique lightweight pole clip increase the internal volume while shaving grams. It all results in a tiny ultralight package that still boasts genuine liveability for two hikers, plus the weather resistance of a double-skinned design.

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.
