A new standard for minimalists that combines extreme lightness and comfort.
The Hornet Elite Osmo™ is the ultimate minimalist tent.
As the name "Elite" suggests, every detail of this tent has been redesigned to reduce weight and improve performance. It uses Osmo™ fabric, which is thinner and lighter than the regular Hornet Osmo™, and the lightest DAC Featherlite NFL poles to pursue lightness. In addition, the seams, cords, and webbing lengths have been thoroughly reviewed to optimize weight and strength.
But it's not just about being lightweight: it's also packed with unique features like light pockets, volumizing guy-outs, and Gatekeeper™ door tiebacks to make your time on the trail more comfortable.
This tent was created with the aim of maximizing performance with the bare minimum of equipment, pursuing cutting-edge technology and design. It has 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. Its PFAS-free durable water repellency lasts four times longer than conventional materials, and its stretchability when wet is reduced by one-third, reducing the sagging of the fabric caused by wind, rain, and condensation. The fabric is less likely to absorb moisture and dries quickly even when wet, which helps reduce the weight you carry in the field. It is also 20% stronger and has the industry's highest level of hydrolysis resistance, making it ideal for tents.
Large door on long side
Large doors and vestibules on both long sides make it easy to enter and exit and provide ample space to store gear.
Cut-out fly
The combination of a raised waterproof floor and a boldly cut fly sheet achieves both weight reduction and effective airflow. The waterproof floor material is raised to the top to prevent 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 headlamp into warm lighting 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 your belongings organized inside the tent, which can easily get cluttered.
Gatekeeper™ Door Tieback
NEMO's original hardware allows you to fold up the rolled up fly sheet of the vestibule 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. This expands the living space and prevents the sleeping bag from touching the tent walls.
Color-matched webbing
The inner tent, fly sheet, and poles are all gray on the head side and yellow on the foot side, so you can set it up intuitively without hesitation even when you are 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 more compactly by carrying the poles separately.
