Already the ultimate tent for extreme minimalists, Hornet Elite OSMO takes it to the next level with thoughtful updates and our new proprietary OSMO™ fabric. Delivering lifetime water repellency and 3x less stretch when wet, our OSMO tent fabric is also made from 100% recycled yarns free from PFAS. The first of its kind, it was carefully designed for both exceptional performance and reduced impact on the planet.

The Elite moniker means we’ve examined every detail of this tent for weight savings and performance enhancement. The poles are top-shelf DAC Featherlite. Every stitch, cord, and webbing detail are optimized for weight and strength. Our Nightlight Pocket™ headlamp diffuser adds a warm glow at night without the weight of built-in lighting. And our patent-pending Flybar™ volumizing pole clip brings headroom to the interior volume without adding unnecessary ounces. The Hornet Elite OSMO tent also features our convenient new Gatekeeper™ door tie-back and our Divvy Cube™ rectangular stuff sack that nests more efficiently in your pack and allows you to split the weight with a partner. By driving technology and design forward, NEMO’s Hornet Elite OSMO is a maximalist approach to minimalist design.

Samuel ★★★★★

Took it on a three-day ridge hike and the OSMO fabric shed every bit of morning dew without a single drop inside. At just over two pounds, I barely noticed it in my pack, and the setup was surprisingly quick for such a minimalist design.

Natalie ★★★★★

Set it up in a light drizzle last weekend, and the OSMO fabric beaded water off like it wasn't even raining. At just over two pounds, I barely noticed it in my pack, which is exactly what I wanted for a thru-hike.

Brian L. ★★★★★

I've taken this out in three different storms and the fabric is still completely dry, no sagging or fabric stretch after a full night of rain. The OSMO weave feels noticeably tougher than other ultralight tents I've tried, without adding any weight.
