Nemo Equipment Blaze 1 Person Dome Tent Review

The Blaze 1 has one door and a peak center height of 3' 4, which is a little bit less than the average height of the 79 different 1 person tents we have examined With 18 square feet of room inside, it is a lot smaller than some other 1-person tents, and it would be quite tight for you during the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents like this one often make an ideal choice for campers who prefer spending lots of time outside the tent exploring.

Many of the cool points about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking not too heavy, making them easy to carry around. In most all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very simple to set up. In good weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are the most common of all the various types of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in bad weather than other types, allowing rain to easily slide off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the water pooling on the top. The simplest dome tent should have a rectangular floor, slanted walls two or more poles which converge in the middle of the roof. Because of their construction, it is generally thought of that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 people.

PROS

1. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Gives you a place to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
2. Internal storage. It is nice to see Nemo Equipment has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your stuff.
3. Breathable. The Blaze's interior uses a mesh fabric on the inside of the tent, and this helps maximize the flow of air. With the extra ventilation, and this tent is great for use in the warmer months.
4. Other sizes are available. Nemo Equipment has also made this model available in Other Sizes.

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 18 square feet, the Blaze 1 is smaller than quite a lot of the 80 other 1 person tents we have looked at.
2. Rainfly does not wholly cover the tent body. The rainfly only covers the ceiling and part of the tent body from the top. Meaning it might not protect against heavy rain.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of 20D nylon but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, more so on rough terrain.
4. Discontinued: Unfortunately this particular tent has been discontinued on the manufactures site and is not available elsewhere, that we are aware of.
5. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have heaps of things to be positive about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
