Nemo Equipment Dragonfly 2 Person Dome Tent Review

The Dragonfly 2 has two doors and a maximum center height of 3' 5, which is a little bit smaller than the average height of the 238 different 2 person tents we have studied. With 29 square feet of room inside, it is considerably smaller than some other 2-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you and, another camper throughout the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents similar to this one can make a really nice choice for campers who like spending loads of hours outside the tent exploring.

A few of the great things about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking not too heavy, making them simple to carry around. In nearly all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very simple to set up. In good weather, you can do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are the most common of all the different sorts of tents you will find when camping. They tend to fair better in bad weather than other types, allowing water to roll off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the rain pooling on the roof. The simplest dome tent should have a rectangular floor, slanted sides a couple of poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Due to their construction, it is usually thought of that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

Below you can see 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 even have 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. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Offers you a place 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 things.
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. The rainfly completely covers the tent body. The rainfly covers the entire 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 29 square feet, the Dragonfly 2 is smaller than quite a few of the 249 other 2 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 8% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative thing for some people.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one sold separately specifically for the Dragonfly 2 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.
4. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have heaps of things to rave about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
