Nemo Equipment Dagger 3 Person Porch Dome Tent Review

The Dagger 3 Porch has two doors and a maximum center height of 5' 5, which is 14 inches more than the average height of the 160 different 3 person tents we have studied. With 44 square feet of room inside, it is a tiny bit smaller than some other 3-person tents, and it could be a little cramped for you and, up to two other campers throughout the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents similar to this one often can make an excellent choice for people who like spending loads of hours outside of their tent exploring.

A few of the cool things about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances not too heavy, making them simple to carry around. In near all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very easy to set up. In calm weather, you could do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are easily the most common of all the various types of tents you will see when camping. They tend to do better in the rain than other types, allowing water to roll off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, resulting in the water pooling on the top. The most basic dome tent should have a square footprint, slanted walls a couple of poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is generally considered that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 people.

Beneath you can browse a list of the tent's pros and cons.

PROS

1. Lots of Headroom. With 14% more headroom than similar-sized tents, one can easily count this as a plus.
2. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Gives you somewhere to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
3. Internal storage. It is nice to see Nemo Equipment has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your gear.
4. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is easier to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.
5. Durable, water-resistant floor. The floor material is 30D PeU Nylon Ripstop, which is a substantially thick and high-strength fabric. Meaning the base is not prone to tears and punctures. Also, the material has a 3000 mm waterproofing rating, which is pretty good for most circumstances.
6. The rainfly completely covers the tent body. The rainfly covers the whole body of the tent from the top to the bottom and has a waterproof rating of 1200mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy rain.

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 44 square feet, the Dagger 3 is smaller than quite a few of the 165 other 3 person tents we have looked at.
2. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of 30D PeU Nylon Ripstop but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
3. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have lots of qualities to rave about. The sloping walls do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
