Description
The original Nemo Dragonfly impressed backpackers so much that Nemo made a version for bikepackers. Now they’ve updated this lightweight and livable bikepacking tent with the Dragonfly OSMO Bikepack Tent. Like the backpacking tent, the OSMO Bikepack Tent has an assymetrical design that shaves weight yet gives us generous living space, plus large trapezoidal vestibules with a removable storage tub for ample gear storage and pre-bent poles with a crossbar for extra volume and head room. The major differences reflect the greater packability of the Bikepack Tent with its shortened pole segments that pack down smaller into the special, bike-compatible dry bag that’s designed to mount easily to our bike’s handlebars, rack, or frame. New for 2023, the tent now comes in Nemo’s proprietary OSMO ripstop fabric, which is made from recycled yarns that are PFC- and PFAS-free to repel water and retard flames without the use of harmful chemicals that stay in the environment forever. On top of these environmental benefits, OSMO has 4x longer water repellency and 3x less stretch when wet-a nice upgrade for our bikepacking (or kayak camping) escapes.
