A new standard for minimalists, combining extreme lightness and comfort.
The Hornet Elite Osmo™ is the ultimate minimalist tent.
As the "Elite" name suggests, every detail of this tent has been redesigned to reduce weight and improve performance. It features thinner and lighter Osmo™ fabric than the standard Hornet Osmo™, and the lightest DAC Featherlite NFL poles for ultimate lightness. Furthermore, every stitching, cord, and webbing length have been thoroughly redesigned to optimize weight and strength.
But it's not just about being lightweight—it's packed with unique features like light pockets, volumizing guy-outs, and Gatekeeper™ door tiebacks to keep you comfortable on the trail.
This tent was created with the aim of maximizing performance with the bare minimum of equipment, pursuing cutting-edge technology and design. It achieves a bold and thorough approach to minimalist design, achieving a high level of lightness, functionality, and durability.
Product Features
Osmo™ Fabric
This innovative material is a composite blend of nylon and polyester. PFAS-free, durable water-repellent performance lasts four times longer than conventional materials, and stretches three times less when wet, reducing fabric sagging caused by wind, rain, or condensation. The fabric's water-resistance and quick drying properties help reduce weight when carried in the field. It's also 20% stronger and boasts the industry's highest level of hydrolysis resistance, making it ideal for tents.
Large door on the long side
Large doors and vestibules on both long sides make it easy to enter and exit, and provide ample space for storing gear.
Cutout fly
The combination of a raised waterproof floor and a boldly cut flysheet achieves both weight reduction and effective airflow. The raised waterproof floor material prevents wind and rain from blowing into the tent.
Flybar™ Volumizing Clip
The patent-pending Flybar™ Pole Clip is a uniquely designed clip that suspends the top of the tent from two points, providing more space above the tent and reducing the stress of hitting your head against the ceiling inside the tent.
The flybar also helps to evenly distribute the tension on the flysheet.
Night Light Pocket™
The tent is equipped with a night light pocket at the top that converts the strong white light of a handheld headlamp into warm light that evenly and gently illuminates the inside of the tent, and reduces blue light.
Volumizing Guy Out
By connecting the inner tent and rain fly and pulling the side walls of the inner tent outward, you can greatly expand the living space inside the tent.
Sidewall pocket
The sidewalls feature mesh pockets in easily accessible locations, helping to keep belongings in the tent organized, which can easily get messy.
Gatekeeper™ Door Tieback
NEMO's original hardware allows you to fold up the vestibule flysheet with one hand, making it easy to operate even with gloves on.
UL Corner Strut
By placing poles at the corners of the inner tent and applying tension from two points, the walls at the legs rise up, expanding the living space and preventing the sleeping bag from touching the tent walls.
Color-matched webbing
The inner tent, flysheet, and poles are all gray at the head end and yellow at the foot end, making it easy to set up intuitively and without hesitation, even when you're tired or have to set it up after dark.
Divy Cube™ Stuff Sack
The dry bag style case is large enough to hold all your poles together.
You can also pack it even more compactly by carrying the poles separately.
