Nemo says: 

The Dragonfly™ Bikepack OSMO™ tent is tailored specifically for two-wheeled journeys, canoe trips, and other excursions where its ultra-small pack-down size will make a huge difference. Now made with our composite OSMO™ fabric, this ultralight shelter promises excellent water repellency that lasts 4x longer and resists stretch when wet. Designed with shortened pole segments, it stows easily in a stuff sack that’s been optimized for bike travel with tiedown straps to eliminate wobble. With the adjustable straps, it can securely fasten to handlebars, a rack, or a frame.

The tent itself features a tapered floor plan to save weight without sacrificing livable space, and a tub floor design to increase privacy and weather protection. Each asymmetrical vestibule keeps gear tucked out of the way, and our Landing Zone™ waterproof storage tub offers a protected, mud-free dumping ground. Thoughtful new details include an overhead, diffusing Nightlight Pocket™ and integrated Gatekeeper™ clips, while an internal daisy chain, gear loft, and gear pockets offer plenty of storage and org.

Backed by NEMO’s Lifetime Warranty, this tent soars above the competition and keeps your journey smooth.

Our Verdict

Nemo’s Dragonfly OSMO Bikepacking Tent is one of the first in a new range of tents built with NEMO’s new OSMO™ fabric. Made from 100% recycled materials, free of any harmful PFCs or PFAS, this new poly-nylon maximizes performance without impacting the environment. Made from a weave of strong, lightweight nylon and, a dimensionally stable (doesn’t stretch) polyester, which also doesn’t absorb water. NEMO has created a new fabric, that holds its shape better, has improved water repellency, and also saves weight.

this a spacious light-weight 3 season shelter with plenty of features. There is an impressive head height across the width of tent thanks to the cross pole.

The colour coordinated 2 pole set up is quick and easy. I like the use of buckles to attach the fly to the inner, quick and strong. Storage wise inside you have 2 side mesh pockets and a large overhead pockets. There are also 2 light diffusing pockets to use your head torch in.

The side vestibules are large enough for storing big rucksacks which is necessary as with 2 people with mats and sleeping bags there is little spare room. The fly is relatively high off the ground especially at the ends which could be a concern  with strong winds, careful pitching advised.

Another feature I really like is being able to fully roll back and secure the doors and to really enjoy the view unhindered and for ease of entry and exit.
