Nemo Ultralight Hiking Gear

About

NEMO Equipment is an American outdoor brand known for innovative tent design, high-quality sleeping pads, and precision gear construction. At Dwights, we stock NEMO's tent range — including the Dagger OSMO, Dragonfly OSMO, and Hornet Elite OSMO series — alongside NEMO's Tensor sleeping pad range and pillows. NEMO is particularly known for two things: the OSMO fabric used in their tents (a recycled, non-absorbent material that resists sagging in rain better than conventional nylon), and the Tensor sleeping pad — widely regarded as one of the best ultralight inflatable pads available. NEMO Tents Hornet Elite OSMO (1P and 2P): NEMO's ultralight backpacking tent — exceptional weight-to-livability ratio. The 2P is just over 1kg. OSMO recycled fabric, dual-door, trekking pole or standard pole setup. The benchmark ultralight tent for serious NZ tramping. Dragonfly OSMO (1P and 2P): Slightly heavier than the Hornet but with more interior volume and headroom — a practical balance of weight and comfort for multi-day tramping. Also available in a bikepack version. Dagger OSMO (2P and 3P): Three-season backpacking tent with generous headroom and livability — for trampers who prioritise comfort on multi-day trips over minimum weight. The 3P suits two trampers who want serious interior space. NEMO Tensor Sleeping Pads The Tensor is NEMO's flagship sleeping pad — an ultralight inflatable with a unique horizontal baffling construction that minimises movement and noise compared to standard vertical-baffle inflatables. The range covers three-season and all-season insulated options: Tensor All-Season Insulated (regular/wide, long/wide, mummy): Core three-season to four-season pad — spaceframe baffles, Thermal Mirror insulation, ultralight construction. The regular/wide is the most popular tramping option. Tensor Extreme Insulated (long/wide, mummy): Maximum insulation for cold-weather and alpine camping. High R-value, heavier than standard Tensor but built for serious cold. Tensor Alp
