  A great quality tent at a reasonalble price, and absolutely massive inside!

  08/20/23

  This has got to be the roomiest 2p tent I have ever tested. The vertical walls on the sides make it feel truly massive. Considering the livable volume you get, the packed size is pretty good, and if you separate the poles from the rest you can pack it down to a far smaller size than the included stuff sack so while it's not ultra-light is can still easily be carried out into the back country. The two doors are large and easily tuck away in the side pockets and the vestibule easily accommodate your gear. That being said the interior is so big that a lot of it can be kept safely inside. I also particularly like the two overhead pockets and the small central one that allow to turn your headlamp in a very homely diffused light.

  Spacious 2 person tent

  05/21/23

  I have only camped in it once with beautiful conditions. But it's spacious/ roomy and easy to set up. I use it motorcycle camping and is small enough to fit in my paniers with room to fit all the rest of my camping gear. Poles strapped to the outside. My old tent had a small window in the fly at the doors and vestibule which was nice but other than that it works much better than my older 3 man tent I used for the same purpose. I like the vertical walls and assume it will be nice for when it rains to keep the water out of the tent when the doors are open. I don't see any issue with the single zip on the doors. I saw a simple modification online to add a strap tie down to the vestibule door to allow either side to be pinned out. Great tent does the job well.

  Tente Aurora 2P

  10/12/22

  Ayant déjà une tente pour 4 personnes, j'étais à la recherche d'une tente pour mes aventures en forêt seule ou avec mon conjoint. Sans avoir à payer le gros prix, je souhaitais une tente légère, pas trop grosse, résistante et facile à monter. Pour le poids, je suis très satisfaite, il existe des tentes encore plus légère mais je sais que je n'aurai aucun problème à la transporter. Pour le transport, j'aurais souhaité une tente plus compacte, mais cela ne causera pas de problème. Pour monter la tente c'est très facile. J'ai déjà eu des problèmes pour monter des tentes seule, mais pour la Aurora c'est parfait. Elle se monte rapidement et facilement, pas besoin de forcer sur quoi que ce soit. Malheureusement, je n'ai pas eu l'occasion de la tester en montagne, mais elle a l'air résistante. Pour la dimension, le fait que les murs et le toit forment plus un rectangle qu'un dôme permet d'avoir plus d'espace. On se sent beaucoup moins entassé et l'espace dans les vestibules est suffisantes pour les sacs.

  Excellent in this price range

  This isn’t an ultra-light 4-season backpacking tent so if that’s what you need look elsewhere. But for late-spring to mid-fall canoe camping it’s perfect. The high ceiling is great and vestibules are roomy. It’s a generous size for me on a cot and my dog. The paw print, available separately, protects the floor. I also really like the blue colour - a minor thing, but it’s cheery in the rain, where you will be dry and cozy even in moderately high wind. Assembles very easily. It is very well ventilated, which is appreciated more in summer than in fall. I’ve owned tents with more features but this one is great at this price with the included footprint. Yes, the single zippers are a minor downside but again, you don’t often find a tent of this quality and features at this price.

  This tent is easy to set up and comfortable even for two taller sleepers. For those who are looking for a single tent that is capable of pulling double-duty, this one is well worth having on hand for a variety of adventures. Love the Nova Green colors. The only thing I did not like was the finishing touch on the aluminum tri-rod connectors. They contained burrs which can over time wear into the bungee cord. Some quick simple deburring of the connecting holes would increase the quality of the product. Nemo Equipment Company should take notice and make the necessary production improvements. However, there is a lifetime warranty on this tent. Due to the burrs not being removed, this tent loses one star.

  Great shelter !

  07/15/22

  Recently used it for a canoe/camping trip and was not dissapointed. Super quick to set up and breakdown, awesome storage features, really good ventilation and most importantly felt protected from some heavy rain and winds. Wished I could've used it without the rain fly to look up at the sky, hopefully better luck next time. The only thing I wish was different would be if the doors had a double zipper situation. It would make it easier to get in and out when fighting of the clouds of mosquitos !

  Love it!

  We just trialled this 2-person tent on a short backcountry excursion. Its not an ultralight tent by any means, but holy moly is it comfortable and spacious inside. Most of our other equipment is on the light side so I did not mind splurging in weight for the comfort factor of this tent. Also, we were splitting weight between 2 ppl which is helpful. Although, I could probably take it solo as well. The weight solo would be comparable to our split weight items anyways. Like others have stated, a 2-way zipper would be awesome - but we didn’t have much inconvenience with the one-way. The tent was super easy to set up. I set it up solo while my husband started on supper…it took me less than 5 min. We also had a rainstorm through the night and into the morning - the tent stayed dry and cozy, the vestibule areas also remained dry. We had an extra tarp on one side entrance which did not make a difference on the dryness of the opposite vestibule entrance. There were 2 adults and one large dog. We had plenty of room. We definitely could’ve had all our pack items in the tent without the pup along or rearranged to have items inside even with the pup. If you don’t mind the few extra pounds, this tent is a heck of a deal. It also includes the footprint (don’t understand why that’s not always included with higher priced tents). We love the tent so far 😊

  Awesome!!

  Love this tent! Great size for two. Nice and bright. Handy pockets, especially the one’s for your head lamp! It is bigger so probably wouldn’t be the best for backpacking if you had to carry it all by yourself. If it can be split up between two people though it would be great! I still recommend. Especially for the price.

  Nice little tent with good floor space

  01/31/22

  I've been lucky and haven't tried this yet in a downpour, but so far I'm very pleased with it. Pros: - There is lots of floor space and it easily holds my ether light sleeping pad and my boyfriend's long and wide Vectair pad. - Sturdy, feels very solid once set up and I don't think windy conditions would pose any threat to it - Has a nice light diffusing mesh on the top for a headlamp, works GREAT! - Lots of storage space in the gear stashes - Good head space, feels like a little mansion! - Has attachments for a floor protector if you camp with your dog - Footprint included and the stakes are actually pretty decent. Cons: - A bit heavy for a backpacking tent. Not ultralight gear, but split between 2 people it's not bad. - Vestibules feel a little cramped - One way zips on the doors can make it a pain to get out during nighttime bathroom trips Overall, this is a really great tent. It is a smidge heavier but you get loads of space inside instead. Would absolutely recommend it for people who don't mind a little extra weight.
