Very spacious and lightweight tent. Plenty of room for two wide sleeping pads with room to spare for extra gear. It's been great on backpacking trips as well as car camping trips.

First tent purchase in 8 years so I put in a lot of research. The Dagger Osmo is the best 3 person option out there for my needs. Great weight and tons of livability. I was pretty surprised by the ventilation and no condensation on the first use. The poles and stakes are both high quality and I plan to take this shelter on a lot of trips!

Roomy and WET! Two adults and medium size dog used this for a 160 mile trip in October with low temps in the high 20s. Set up is easy, staking is mandatory, vestibule size is adequate, the attachment points for the fly and foot print are easily corrupted by dirt, fine gravel and can be difficult/inconvenient to tear down with cold fingers or when the tent/fly is wet (usually). Design is very roomy with nice vertical walls. Our main concern was condensation. Unless it was very windy we could expect to spend an hour everyday drying the tent, fly and sleeping bags before hitting the trail. If we didn't stake the tent out perfectly it would have contact with the fly and cause even more dripping. Fly zipper broke at bottom after 6 days. Bottom line for us is it's a nice light warm dry weather tent for moderate overnight use. If durability is a concern, well...

I have only had the chance to use my Dagger OSMO 3P 4 nights in temps ranging from 80 degrees F (that was the low!) to 40 degrees F. The hot night I was in my tent I had the fly on because there was a few rain squalls that rolled through our Scouts BSA Camporee. No big deal. I was nice and dry inside the tend except for the puddle of sweat I was sleeping in. I had the tent as vented as much as I could given the chance of rain and my PNW blood doesn't do well in the hot temperatures. On the few cooler nights I had the fly fully steaked out (again PNW). The tent kept the rain out but the two fly vents weren't enough to keep the condensation away. The inside of my fly was damp to say the least. A little more ventilation would have been nice. The biggest problem with the tent is the bag. I struggle every time to roll it up tight enough to get it into the bag and there is no way you can fit the footprint in with the tent. I know weight is important when selling a tent but an ounce of fabric to make a slightly larger bag would be nice. I'm looking for a replacement bag now so I can pack it a little easier and it's not so compressed in the off season. Anyone know where I can find the tent bag MSR uses for the Hubba Hubba?

Bought the Dagger 2P with Osmo fabric this spring and due to injuries just used it for the first time, car-camping at the Oregon coast. Set-up took about five minutes single-handed with my left (non-dominant) arm in a sling. Plenty of space inside for two, no issues with condensation even though it's very humid year-round at the coast. The zippers and tie-backs are so easy to operate with one hand, I love that. The Osmo fabric dries quickly. I'm looking forward to backpacking with this tent!

I was looking for a new lightweight tent with room. After much research I settled on the Nemo Dagger 2P. The new fly material of the OSMO was of interest. As always, I just dove in and started setting up. The basic tent setup was very quick and intuitive. The fly took me a few minutes, but once I caught on that the hook ups are color codes it was a snap. The new material is interesting. Very light and almost feels like some type of paper. Even though it is thin, I did put some stress on it trying to put the fly on wrong the first time with poles poking it, but not a mark. I also did some tugging and it appears to be tough. I haven't been out in the rain yet so I ran a garden hose on it for about 15 minutes. While I didn't stake it out very well I didn't not any sagging and the water for the most part ran off. Not a great test, but something. It also dried very quickly compared to my old rain fly. Very impressed so far and cant wait to see how if hold ups over the season.
