Nemo Dagger OSMO 2
Best for: backpackers who want ultralight-adjacent weight with easier livability
Nemo's Dagger draws praise in owner reviews for splitting the difference between the ultralight Copper Spur and the storm-tested Hubba Hubba — reviewers frequently mention the flared walls and steep floor angle as giving noticeably more usable headroom for the weight than tents with a more traditional pole shape. The newer OSMO fabric, marketed as more water- and stretch-resistant than older silnylon designs, gets cautiously positive marks from owners so far, though the fabric is too new for the multi-year durability track record the MSR and Big Agnes tents already have.
Pros
- Flared wall design rated among the most livable interiors for the weight in this roundup
- OSMO fabric reported by early owners as resisting sag and stretch better than older silnylon tents when wet
- Divvy stuff sack system praised for letting the tent be split evenly between two hikers' packs
Cons
- OSMO fabric has a shorter owner track record than the silnylon and proprietary ripstop used in older, established tents
- Vestibule size rated smaller than the Hubba Hubba's
- Premium price similar to the Big Agnes Copper Spur without the same length of proven durability
