Nemo Equipment Dragonfly 1 Person Dome Tent Review

The Dragonfly 1 has one door and a maximum center height of 3' 4, which is a little bit less than the average height of the 82 various 1 person tents we have examined With 20 square feet of space inside, it is a lot smaller than some other 1-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you throughout the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents like this one make a fantastic choice for campers that appreciate spending lots of time outside the tent exploring.

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

Dome tents are without a doubt the most commonly seen of all the different types of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in bad weather than other types, allowing water to easily slide off the slanted sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the water pooling on the roof. The simplest dome tent will have a rectangular footprint, slanted sides a couple of poles which converge in the middle of the roof. Due to their construction, it is usually thought of that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

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

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Dragonfly can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not need to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the floor with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Gives you somewhere to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big plus.
3. Internal storage. It is good to see Nemo Equipment has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your gear.
4. 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.
5. Plenty of Positive Reviews The Dragonfly 1 has Tons of awesome Reviews
6. Remarkable Ratings The Dragonfly 1 has some of the best ratings of all the tents on optimumtents.com
7. Available in other sizes. Nemo Equipment has also made this model available in Other Sizes.

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 20 square feet, the Dragonfly 1 is smaller than quite a lot of the 83 other 1 person tents we have looked at.
2. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately specifically for the Dragonfly 1 footprint Even though the floor may be made of 20D Sil/PeU Nylon Ripstop, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
3. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many things to be positive about. The sloping walls do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.

Nemo Equipment's Dragonfly 1 tent is good for backpacking. Here are a few other points not already mentioned above which, were found and liked, while reviewing the model: Large doors and trapezoidal vestibules with multiple roll-back points for customizable storage and ease of entry, White No-See-Um Mesh on side panels adds privacy while a black mesh top offers clear stargazing at night and Single-seam tub construction and silicone-impregnated fabric ensure increased longevity and greater sustainability.

Value for money: When thinking about value for money, this tent is the same as the standard price of all the eighty-two, one-person tents we have studied, this alone does not make it good value for money. One should also think about other things in-depth, as we do for every tent.

When we calculate the valuation of a single tent, we regard plenty of conditions, finding points where the tent could excel against other near-identical tents and where it is coming up short. On this occasion, with a total score of 4.3 and the price data above, It is simple to view that with a cost of $359.95 The Dragonfly 1 is a perfect deal the price is not unreasonable when set side by side with similar tents.
