The Nemo tent should be on your shortlist if you're looking for a tent. It is lightweight, compact and sturdy. It also comes with an outer blanket and other accessories, making it a great backpacking shelter. It's also relatively easy to set up.
The Nemo is an excellent choice for backpackers who are single or double-person. It is made of advanced materials and includes some nice features such as the curved zipper doors at the rain fly. It does have its downsides. The most notable is that it's not well vented when guyed out. It also collects condensation at colder temperatures. It is also difficult to access when the fly is wet. A larger bag will give you more comfort.
Nemo also has an impressive footprint. The Nemo tent is not as portable, but it is easy enough to pack. It will add a few pounds to your luggage, but that's not too much. The footprint of the tent is slightly wider than its actual size. That makes it a bit more difficult to fit in the included stuff sack, but it still fits.
Another great feature is the bungee-windows. This allows you to have a more compact and versatile set of windows. It also uses clips rather than zippers which is a useful feature. Although the headlamp holder is an excellent bonus, it's too small to fit in the entire tent. Some pockets are smaller and less efficient, but are very useful if you have to store items.
The tent is quite large inside. The vestibule is a bit pointless. The rainfly's curved zipper door is also a gimmick. The Nemo tent comes with a large side pocket which can hold glasses, or other small items. It is also my first tent to use a headlamp holder.
The Nemo Tent is a good choice for two or more people, as well as a large family. The rainfly has curved zipper doors that allow for easier access to the interior. These curved zippers are annoying in that they can't be attached to small tabs.
The most obvious problem with this tent is that it isn't designed to withstand the kind of weather we experience in Colorado. It was fine in the face of a huge windstorm, but not for this kind of weather. We have survived a few other storms and not suffered any major damage. The tent is still in excellent shape and will be re-used soon.
The Nemo Wagontop 4P, which is a step higher than the LL Bean Kingdom tent, is a great choice. This tent is great for families and car camping. It also offers lots of livable space. Although it isn't as tall as other tents it is a good choice for those who have limited standing space.
