The Details

Description

When every ounce counts, extreme minimalists choose the Hornet™ Elite. Part of NEMO’s Elite line-up of superiorly technical ultralight equipment, the Hornet™ Elite relies on top shelf fabrics and a minimal pole structure to shave every ounce possible.

The 2-Person is a mere 1 pound and 12 ounces, and yet provides maximum livable space through volumizing guy-outs and large doors and vestibules. The 1-Person sheds a few more ounces to make its mark as the lightest freestanding tent in the NEMO line-up. Both tents get lighter yet when you split the load with a partner using the unique Divvy™ dual-stage stuff sack.
