The Details

Description

Hornet™ Elite is the ultralight tent of choice for extreme minimalists wanting the best in technical materials and design. Top shelf fabrics and a minimal pole structure shave every ounce possible, while our latest updates and new patent-pending Flybar™ volumizing clip adds even more room without adding any weight.

At a mere 1 pound and 11 ounces, this premium technical, ultralight 2-Person shelter provides maximum livable space and large doors and vestibules. The 1-Person sheds a few more ounces to make its mark as one of the lightest, most advanced semi-freestanding tents in the NEMO line-up. Split the load with a partner using the unique Divvy™ dual-stage stuff sack to further lighten your pack.

  • Patent-pending Flybar™ volumizing pole clip adds more room at the head and distributes fly tension evenly.
