Rated 5 out of 5

Spacious and well-built summer tent

I used the Aurora for a full week during a hot and humid summer camp in Japan, and it held up great. It definitely got a bit warm inside with the rain fly on (we had to keep it on for coed camping at scout camp), but without it, it definitely would've been much cooler. The build quality is impressive, especially the rain fly, which feels thick and durable (in a good way). We didn't get any rain, but I'm confident it would handle a storm well. It was roomy and comfortable, with plenty of space to move around and store gear. The vestibules created by the rain fly provide additional usable space. Overall, it's a solid summer tent I'd happily use again.

Held up well to bad thunderstorm! Mosquitoes?

Bought 2P recently. First trip out for dog and I had a really bad storm. Rain for hours. All dry inside. Plenty of room. Next trip to Alaska and I am worried about some on-line reviews saying no-seeum mesh is inadequate. Any experience in deep, deep backcountry in Alaska?

Good tent-great gear!

I am an outfitter and use Nemo tents and love them. The clients love them and so far absolutely no problems with the tent.

Great tent! Best of the Best!

This tent offers impressive spaciousness, and its durable material provides a sturdier construction compared to traditional backpacking tents. While the zipper requires some adjustment, the door design enhances accessibility. Setting up the tent initially posed a challenge, as I am accustomed to the Jake's foot system. Upon reviewing the instructions, I found myself wishing it followed that more intuitive setup method.

Aurora 3P

I bought it for car camping, so much place and so much easy to mount and pack. Recommended We can be 3 without problems.

Perfect Size & Design

Loving this tent so far. Great amount of space for my dog and I, plenty of pockets and well constructed. Only taken it out in good conditions but so far so good!

Great car camping tent

I love how roomy this tent is, and the material is more heavy duty than a backpacking tent. The zipper is a bit of getting used to but the door opening is very nice. Tent setup was a head scratcher as I am used to the Jake's foot style. Rereading the instructions, I wish this was a Jake's foot style setup, which is much more intuitive.

Amazing tent!!

I bought this tent about 7 months ago and haves loved it! I've used it on many multiple day backpacking trips along with a 12 day trek in New Mexico and I have had absolutely no problems with the tent. Would recommend if your looking for a good durable 2 person tent that can be used a lot.

Great 1p tent

I love this tent for car camping as one person, for just me. I add a patio pad and fairy lights and it is cozy. I went backpacking this weekend and shared with a friend. It's a little snug with 2 people, but still does the job.
