Nemo Equipment Hornet 2 Person Ultralight Dome Tent Review

The Hornet 2 Ultralight has two doors and a maximum center height of 3' 3, which is 10 inches smaller than the average height of the 235 other 2 person tents we have studied. With 27 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 all through the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents similar to this one generally make an ideal choice for campers that love spending loads of time outside the tent exploring.

Some of the great points about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part lightweight, making them easy to carry. In near all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, 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 recommended.

Dome tents are the most common of all the different sorts of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in bad weather than other types, allowing water to easily slide off the sloped sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, allowing the rain to pool on the top. The simplest dome tent should have a square footprint, slanted sides two or more poles which cross in the center of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is usually considered that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 27 square feet, the Hornet 2 is smaller than quite a few of the 246 other 2 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 10% 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 Hornet 2 footprint Even though the floor may be made of 15D 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 lots of attributes to rave about. The sloping walls do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
