Nemo Equipment Kunai 2 Person Dome Tent Review

The Kunai 2 has two windows and one door and a maximum center height of 3' 8, which is a tiny bit less than the average height of the 235 other 2 person tents we have studied. With 26 square feet of room inside, it is considerably smaller than some other 2-person tents, and it would be quite tight for you and, another camper during the 4-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents similar to this one make a nice choice for people that enjoy spending lots of time outside of their tent exploring.

A few of the cool points about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part light, making them easy to carry around. In nearly all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In good weather, you could do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are the most commonly seen of all the other types 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 slanted sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, allowing the water to pool on the top of the tent. The simplest dome tent should have a rectangular footprint, sloped walls two or more 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.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Kunai 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 ground with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Gives you a place to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big plus.
3. Has Gear Loft. It is nice to see Nemo Equipment adding a gear loft in the interior to store some of your things.
4. More than one window. With 2 windows it is easier to keep the tent cooler on a hot summers night.
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 very good for most circumstances.

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 26 square feet, the Kunai 2 is smaller than quite a few of the 246 other 2 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 5% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative factor for some campers.
3. 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.
4. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many qualities to be positive about. The sloping walls do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
