"I've been on countless trips with this tent, and the Dagger OSMO is a standout. Its lightweight design is easy to pack, and the new pole structure gives me plenty of space to stretch out after a long day. The eco-friendly materials and massive vestibules are just the icing on the cake."

Looks great
I haven't got to use it yet. But it's well packed and looks incredible. I love the compact size. Will fit great in my motorcycle panniers.

Seems good
I got this tent last week. Set it up once in the yard. Went up easy. Better with two people. Camping this weekend so we’ll see how it preforms.

Excellent Tent
I am very happy with this tent! It performs well in pretty much any environment and is very spacious for how light it is. The only real complaint is that it is slightly bulky for backpacking, but that is what I get for wanting 1 tent that can do anything.

Happy Camper
I had been needing to get a tent and was between this tent and the Big Agnes Copper Spur 3 person. From all the reviews, they were pretty comparable with NEMO Dagger having slightly more room. I decided on NEMO in the end due to size and pricing, and I am quite happy with my choice. I have brought this tent on 3 backpack trips so far. Two were in mountainous areas with only one other person and the third was a three person trek on the Olympic Coast. Here’s how it faired. Usability/Accessibility: The tent is easy to set up with only one person. Having just one tent pole makes it super quick. The attachment points for poles and rain fly are really easy to clip into and out of and I had no fear of anything disconnecting. The zippers on the rain fly are a little hard to open with only one hand, as the fabric gets caught. The tie backs for the doors are easy to use and can be hooked with one hand, but I wish they were a little further down the door. When looped back, the door still hand into the entrance, which led to some water dripping into the tent or onto people as they left the tent. Size: The tent is so light that its weight is barely noticeable, especially when split up. The divvy cube and individual sacks for the poles and stakes makes it super easy to divide the tent up. The tent fits two people with tons of extra room. The vestibules are large enough to fit two packs plus shoes on either side without worrying about them getting wet. On the three person trip, we were definitely snug and cozy. I have a NEMO Quasar sleeping pad in regular wide and my two companions had regular width pads. All three pads fit together with no overlap inside the tent. This leads me to believe that three regular width pads would fit perfectly without any fear of touching your partners in the night. I was pleasantly surprised with the inside space. I do wish the tent had more pockets, as each side only has one. An additional pocket on each side would be really clutch. Durability/Weather Wear: This tent saw it all (except snow). The tent itself feels really thin and the rain fly has a different feel than other tents. I was a little worried about the tent floor on rocks & roots, since I didn’t purchase a footprint. Well, this tent held up. The first trip it went on, we accidentally put the rain fly on inside out (oopsies!) and then it hailed and rained and the wind had gusts up to 20 or 30 mph. The tent was dry inside, even with an inside out fly. The tent was also rained on during the other trips, with properly assembled rain fly, and stayed dry on all of them. The tent floor held up great against all the surfaces, from rocks and roots to sand. This tent does not have amazing ventilation, but with the guy lines, we had no issues with keeping the condensation to a minimum. My biggest issue, though, was that the end of one of the tent poles did pop off when disassembling the tent on the second trip. I easily fixed it by reattaching the cord to the end and it’s working fine. TLDR: Held up great in rain, wind, hail, sun, bugs, sand, rocks, roots, and much more. Had a minor snafu with the tent pole end coming off when taking the poles out of the tent, but easily fixed. Fits 3 snug, but cozy and vestibules are large enough for storing all the gear. Easy to set up and take down and lightweight. Very happy with my purchase and would recommend.

The Cadillac of tents
I've had my older Nemo dagger for three years now, just got the new one. The old one was no slouch. Just a couple weeks ago it scoffed at a thunderstorm. I also like that the floor can fit two 25 inch pads, it was actually comfortable putting two people in it even with slightly uneven terrain and a mild slope. It may be a little on the heavy side, but it packs down incredibly well. My only gripes with the old one were that getting in & out were annoying and the landing zone was annoying to attach. The new version fixes both issues, and now I find myself with a near perfect tent.

Well worth the money.
We have been using this for 3 years now, and there's is yet to be a sign of wear. Very sturdy and easy to set up tent. We are very pleased and recommend this to everyone!

Even better than the original
This is my second Dagger. I still use and love my first, but my outdoor group has expanded in size, so I opted for another Dagger. I gave my first Dagger a 5/5 rating, but this tent, is even improved from the original. There is more sitting up space, the interior pockets are improved, and maybe most importantly, the guy-out points have been added to and improved upon. This tent will go places, and together we will see things.

Impressed
This tent is an absolute must buy!! From its light weight and durable materials, to its extremely spacious interior there is no quantifiable downside to this tent. If you are debating on this tent vs any other, look no further. This is it, this is the one you want.

Great lightweight tent!
I recently purchased this tent and am excited by how spacious and lightweight it is, and how small it packs. It comfortably holds two people laying side by side, with heads on the same side and two rectangular sleeping pads. There is not much additional room on the sides inside the tent for gear, but there is additional room at your feet (as well as pockets down low and up high, and clips across the ridgeline of the tent on the inside for additional gear and/or a clothesline). There is a lot of headroom as well; I'm 6' tall and can easily sit up with room to spare. The vestibules are huge as well, with a lot of room for bags and shoes. I haven't had the tent out in the rain yet, so I can't comment on the function of the OSMO fabric, but I really appreciate the colors. They emit a nice warm glow in the morning, providing a cheerful start to the day!
