The NEMO Dragonfly OSMO is a freestanding 1-person, 3-season tent that pairs a conventional double-wall design with reduced weight thanks to OSMO ripstop fabric and DAC Featherlite poles made from recycled aluminum. The freestanding, two-pole geometry means quick pitching without relying on stakes and easy repositioning on rocky or hard ground, which matters at established campsites where digging in stakes is difficult.
In its minimum trail configuration the tent weighs 1000 g, while the full packaged weight comes to 1230 g — placing it at the boundary between ultralight and standard 1-person shelters rather than firmly in the sub-1kg class. A 1500 mm hydrostatic head on both fly and floor gives solid rain protection, and the 1.9 m² floor with a 100 cm peak height leaves enough room to sit up comfortably; the single 0.8 m² vestibule covers a pack and boots.
The Dragonfly OSMO suits hikers who value the reliability of a freestanding pitch over the last grams a trekking-pole pyramid shelter can shave off, whether for multi-day trips or shorter weekend outings on varied terrain.
