Description

The Nemo Dragonfly Bikepack OSMO is a freestanding three-season tent with shortened pole segments so it packs to 37 cm and fits across handlebars or in a frame bag. Minimum weight is 1.07 kg for the one-person and 1.36 kg for the two-person. It shares the standard Dragonfly's floor plan and OSMO fabric.

Who it's for

Bikepackers, and anyone whose packed length matters more than their packed weight. A standard backpacking tent packs to around 50 cm, which is wider than most handlebars once a bar bag and cables are accounted for. At 37 cm this one fits.

Also worth knowing for canoe and packraft trips, where the same constraint applies inside a dry bag. If you are walking rather than riding, the standard Dragonfly is the same tent with normal-length poles and slightly lower weight.

Key features

  • Shortened pole segments — packs to 37 cm rather than around 50 cm, which is the difference between fitting on your bars and not.
  • Fully freestanding, so it stands on gravel pads, campground hardstand and rock without needing to hold a stake.
  • Elements hubbed pole set with the crossbar angled upward before tensioning, and the Precurve system pulling the roof near-horizontal for headroom across the tent rather than just at the peak.
  • Two doors and two vestibules on the 2P, 0.9 sq m each — enough for panniers and shoes out of the rain.
  • OSMO fabric, 1500 mm fly and 2000 mm floor, PFAS-free and made from recycled yarn.
  • Dry bag stuff sack rather than a mesh sack, which matters when the tent is strapped to the outside of a bike in the wet.

Bikepack versus the standard Dragonfly

Same floor area, same peak heights, same fabric, same freestanding structure. The Bikepack trades a little weight — around 20 g — for pole segments short enough to carry on a bike. If you never ride with it, the standard Dragonfly is the better buy. If you do, no amount of saved grams helps a tent that will not mount.

FAQ's

How short do the Dragonfly Bikepack poles pack down?
The Dragonfly Bikepack packs to about 37 cm, against roughly 50 cm for the standard Dragonfly. That is short enough to sit across most handlebars alongside a bar bag, or inside a frame bag, which is the constraint that determines whether a tent is usable on a bike at all.

Is the Dragonfly Bikepack freestanding?
Yes, it is fully freestanding. It holds its shape without stakes, which is useful on the gravel pads and hardstand you often get at campgrounds and roadside camps. Staking it out still tensions the vestibules properly and is worth doing in wind.

What is the difference between the Dragonfly Bikepack and the standard Dragonfly?
Pole length. The Bikepack has shortened pole segments so it packs to 37 cm rather than about 50 cm, at a cost of roughly 20 g. Floor area, peak height, fabric and structure are the same. Buy the Bikepack only if the packed length matters to you.

How much does the Dragonfly Bikepack weigh?
Minimum weight is 1.07 kg for the 1P and 1.36 kg for the 2P. Packed weight, including stakes, guylines and the dry bag stuff sack, is 1.4 kg and 1.72 kg. Split between two riders, the 2P is well under a kilogram each.

Can the Dragonfly Bikepack be used for hiking too?
Yes. It is a normal three-season backpacking tent that happens to have short poles, so nothing about it is bike-specific once it is pitched. The only penalty for walking with it is around 20 g against the standard Dragonfly.

Does the Dragonfly Bikepack come with a dry bag?
The tent packs into a dry bag style stuff sack rather than a mesh one, which matters when it is strapped to the outside of a bike in rain or road spray. Stakes and guy-out cord are included; a footprint is sold separately.

Is the Dragonfly Bikepack freestanding?
Yes, it is fully freestanding. It holds its shape without stakes, which is useful on the gravel pads and hardstand you often get at campgrounds and roadside camps. Staking it out still tensions the vestibules properly and is worth doing in wind.
