For those in search of an ultralight shelter with greater volume, Hornet OSMO offers enviable living space and comfort without sacrificing its airy weight classification. Ranging in capacity from 1P to 3P, Hornet OSMO is made with the ultralight variation of our OSMO™ suite of fabrics, arming it with 3x less wet stretch and a level of water repellency that starts drier and stays drier than the rest. (Even better? OSMO fabrics cut out forever chemicals and extra carbon emissions along with any unnecessary weight.)

Keeping Hornet OSMO extra trim is a minimal pole structure that sets up lightning-quick and pairs with our volumizing Flybar™ and door clips to create generous internal space. Triangulated reflective guy-outs and corner struts also increase volume at the foot and protect sleeping bags from tent wall condensation. An overhead Nightlight Pocket™, Gatekeeper™ one-handed tiebacks, and rectangular Divvy Cube™ stuff sack are new additions that add ease and creature comforts, not ounces. With the new Divvy Cube, this tent packs down small enough to fit in the bottom compartment of your pack — with a sleeping bag!

Both the 3-person and 2-person Hornet OSMO tents have two doors and two vestibules. The 3P weighs under three pounds, the 2P clocks in at only two pounds, and the 1-person is an airy 26 ounces.

Sizing Guide

Additional Information

HORNET OSMO

  • High-performance, proprietary OSMO™ poly-nylon ripstop fabric has 4x better water repellency and 3x less stretch when wet. OSMO fabric is made from 100% recycled yarns that are PFAS-free and meet flame retardancy standards without the use of added chemicals.
  • Large doors and vestibules provide ample gear coverage for each person.
  • Patent-pending Flybar™ volumizing pole clip adds more room at the head and distributes fly tension evenly. (3P does not include Flybar.)
  • Volumizing guy-outs connect the inner tent to the rainfly, pulling the sidewalls outward to create more livable space.
  • DAC Featherlite® NSL poles boast minimal weight and connect with a single hubbed intersection for lightning-quick setup.
  • Single-handedly tie back the tent door with integrated Gatekeeper™ clips.
  • Bluesign® approved floor material meets strict ecological and chemical requirements and has been produced with a minimum impact on people and the planet.
  • White no-see-um mesh at the side increases privacy, while black mesh at the top turns virtually transparent at night for clear stargazing.
  • Triangulated volumizing guy-outs and struts at corners increase volume at the foot, protecting sleeping bags from tent wall condensation.
  • Nightlight Pockets™ turn your headlamp into a tent lantern while removing blue light and casting an even glow.
  • Divvy Cube™ rectangular stuff sack allows you to still split the weight with your partner but stows more efficiently in your pack.
  • Protected by NEMO two (2) years warranty only.

FAQ's

1. Do you need a footprint for Nemo Hornet Ultralight? 
While all of Nemo’s tents can be used without a footprint, we highly recommend using their purpose-made Nemo Hornet footprint addition with your tent set-up. Doing this reduces the risks of snags and tears in the floor of the tent as well as adding an additional layer of protection against moisture. Using a footprint adds to both the longevity of your tent as well as your comfort. 

2. What are the footprint dimensions for Nemo Hornet Ultralight? 
The footprint or floor area dimensions for the Nemo Hornet Ultralight are: - 222 x 108/79 cm with a floor area of 2.1 SQM for the one-person tent - 215 x 130/108 with a floor area of 2.6 SQM for their two-person tent 

3. Is Nemo Hornet Ultralight waterproof? 
Made using a premium 10D Nylon Ripstop fly that has a silicone water repellent, the Nemo Hornet is both lightweight and waterproof. 

4. Does the Nemo Hornet Ultralight tent have a lifetime warranty? 
Yes! Just as with all Nemo products, Nemo Hornet Ultralight tents have a lifetime warranty that covers any defects in product manufacturing that affects usage. The warranty does not cover general wear and tear, improper use or maintenance, misuse or neglect. Should you need to make a warranty claim, Nemo has a reputation for managing these quickly and efficiently. 

5. Hornet vs Hornet Elite: What's the difference? 
Both the Hornet and the Hornet Elite are exceptional tents for those seeking a lightweight option, the main differences between them (as based on the two-person tent) are as follows: 
Weight - The Hornet Elite is the lighter of the two. The packed weight of the Hornet is 1.08kg compared to just 935 grams for the Elite.
Durability - The Elite has a lesser denier material than the Hornet making it less dense and therefore less durable. Both tents are equally waterproof, but the thinner fabric of the Elite as well as its higher mesh ratio means it cannot perform as well as the Hornet in wind and rain.
Waterproofing - While the fly fabrics of both tents are equally waterproof, the density of the Hornets fabric still means it will perform better in wet conditions.

As mentioned in an earlier FAQ, neither tent comes with a footprint - this is purchased separately but greatly contributes to better waterproofing.
Dimensions - The Hornet offers slightly more height and floor space than the Elite. The Hornet delivers 2.6 SQM of floor space whereas the Dragonfly offers 2.5 SQM of floor space.
