Category: Tents

Offering massive interior space that’s truly unmatched for its weight class, Aurora™ is a worthy investment for the adventurer that loves a roomy shelter when car camping and backpacking. Updated with premium hardware and features, this tent now also measures up to NEMO’s high sustainability standards with a PFAS-, FRC-free fabric suite and bluesign® approved recycled floor.

Aurora’s vertical sidewalls and massive doors allow for comfortable side-by-side seating and the lightweight aluminum pole set includes a custom forged hub, part of NEMO’s new Elements™ hardware collection. Interior gear pockets keep personal items organized and at hand, while overhead Nightlight Pockets™ diffuse headlamp light to cast a warm glow at night.

Packed in a Divvy Cube™ stuff sack, Aurora can be more efficiently stowed in a backpack, especially when the poles are removed to share the weight with a friend. A complementary tent footprint is included to help extend the lifespan of the tent, protecting it from rough terrain and abrasion.

Lucy N. ★★★★★

Set it up in under five minutes at the campsite, and the footprint made cleanup a breeze when the ground was damp. The ceiling height is impressive for a tent this light, so I could actually sit up and stretch without crouching. For the space-to-weight ratio, it's a keeper.

Alexander ★★★★★

Took it on a week-long trip where it rained every single night, and the footprint kept the floor bone-dry the whole time. Honestly forgot I was sleeping in a tent half the time with that much room to move around.

Joseph X. ★★★★★

The interior really is massive for how light it packs down—I fit two wide sleeping pads plus gear and still had room to sit up. Took it on a three-day trip and the footprint saved the floor from some sharp rocks without adding much weight to my pack.
