Our take on the NEMO Hornet 1P Tent

The Hornet 1P is a semi-freestanding solo backpacking tent built around NEMO's OSMO ripstop fabric, which the brand says holds water repellency about four times longer than standard coatings. It uses DAC Featherlite poles and no-see-um mesh, and it is light enough for solo trips where every ounce counts. Against rivals like the Big Agnes Copper Spur and MSR Hubba, it trades some interior livability for lower weight and a simpler pitch. Reviewers tend to like its weatherproofing and packed size but note the tight floor space and thin fabrics.

Pros
  • Very light for a one-person tent
  • OSMO fabric resists water and UV well
  • DAC Featherlite poles are strong for their weight
  • No-see-um mesh keeps out small insects
  • Compact stuff sack fits in a small pack
Cons
  • Tight floor area for a tall or broad sleeper
  • Thin 15D fabrics need care around sharp ground
  • Semi-freestanding design needs stakes at the foot
  • Single-wall sections can collect condensation

Questions and answers

Is the Hornet 1P good for tall hikers?
It is tight. The peak height and floor area suit average-height solo sleepers, but taller users often find it cramped, especially with a wide pad.
Does it come with a footprint?
No. The tent ships with a stuff sack and poles; a footprint is sold separately and is worth adding given the thin 15D floor.
How does it handle rain?
The OSMO fly and 1500 mm floor handle steady three-season rain well. Pitch it taut and stake out the foot to keep the fly off the inner.
Is it freestanding?
It is semi-freestanding. The poles hold the main structure, but the foot end needs stakes to stand fully.
How does it compare with the Big Agnes Copper Spur 1?
The Hornet is lighter and packs smaller, while the Copper Spur offers more interior room and a more conventional freestanding pitch.
What is included in the box?
The tent body, rainfly, DAC Featherlite poles, stakes and a stuff sack. A footprint and gear loft are not included.
