Why We Like The Dragonfly Bikepack Tent
Between our days of ripping singletrack, we unpack the Dragonfly Bikepack Tent to lay out, rest up, and catch z's. The unobstrusive colors put us in stealth mode, and the large vestibule with new storage tub keeps gear organized. Increased tub height provides better weather protection so we can focus on recovering for tomorrow's ride.

Dragonfly Bikepacking 2P tent
I bought this over a year ago with the ground sheet for Kayaking and Bikepacking, I have had this tent in temperatures below 0 with ice on the outside of the tent in an English December, a little bit drafty with the higher fly, but worked fine. On a bikepacking trip with heavy rain, the tent stayed dry, however I did get a couple of drips come through the highest point where the clip attaches to the poles on the inner, Hopefully Iv resealed that now. The shorter poles help with packing, especially when bike packing, Having two vestibules I can use one side to partly cover my bike keeping it within the tent and insight. I'm a little concerned with the long term durability of the fly as it does seem to be very thin and I would recommend the ground sheet to protect this. Overall though I love this tent, if there was one thing I would change it would be the blend of the fabric, one is green and the other white and this does capture the light Iv noticed, making the tent less stealthy. if the white could be changed to a darker green then I feel the blend would work better.

The best tent for a cycling trip
I offer to your attention an ultralight tent for traveling by bicycle or motorcycle. Subjectively, it turned out to be the best option for me on the market of tourist equipment. Pros: 1) Compactness due to the reduced bend of the arcs, the use of ultralight materials, and constructive solutions. 2) New updated OSMO fabric from Nemo. Which is a mixture of polyester and nylon, as a result, I took the best from the two of them. 3) Internal organization and space. Spacious vestibule. 4) Small things that facilitate operation and installation (For example, color coding, hinges for doors, Lending Zone for the vestibule) 5) The bedroom is protected around the perimeter by a draft-proof fabric. Cons: 1) Bag for mounting on the steering wheel and transportation. 2) The price is due to the bag, and in general the price is not democratic) 3) Pegs that are far from Ultralite. 4) The price footprint, which also cannot be attributed to the Ultralite series In general, the pluses more than cover the minuses, which in fact the majority will be able to solve or simply ignore because they are not significant. You can live.

Downgrade in quality
The new dragonfly bikepacking tent is a complete downgrade. This bag is made of cheaper material compared to the previous year. This recent model is comparable to a cheap polyster sleeping bag. Additionally, the fabric of the tent itself is almost paper thin. The footprint mat went from being optional to an absolute requirement with today's quality of the tent

Perfect for overnights and long multi-days
Have had this tent since early this year and absolutely love it after having spent about 20 nights in it so far. I've used it in Iceland, Kyrgyzstan, and stateside with a few overnights and a nearly two week long trip. Inevitably had a few nights of very heavy rain and high wind and it managed super well! I opted for the 2P since I'm 6'6" and prefer having the extra space, in bad weather the additional indoor space goes a long way in making early mornings more comfortable. Packability is very good too, I ended up putting it in a few different places on my bike depending on the length of trip. To my surprise the somewhat shorter poles did feel like they increased flexibility when packing my bike. Also worth mentioning how easy this tent is to set up, always just a few minutes even with the rainfly. When you’re exhausted this will be appreciated. So far very impressed, looking forward to more trips with this tent!

“Upgraded” from the older version: Big mistake!
I was so excited when the Osmo came out because I have the prior version of the Dragonfly Bikepack 2P tent and its only weakness was the rain fly. So I “upgraded” to the Osmo thinking I would get the same great quality tent with a better rain fly. Boy was I wrong. The only thing good about the OSMO is the rain fly. The quality of all the other materials is very poor. I’m very careful with my gear since I want it to last a long time, and never had any problems with the older model. After packing the OSMO for my first trip (3 weeks on the GDMBR), I was horrified to pull out the tent the first night and find several small holes in the mesh and upper tent material where (I presume) the plastic hooks abraded the material. Also, the one of the loops that hold the cargo tray on each side was seam sealed shut, so completely unusable. As my trip continued, I attempted to pack the tent differently in order to avoid the abrasions, but nothing worked. Nemo also got rid of the nice big pockets in the front sides of the tent, which I used a lot in the older version. I also had to be very careful about removing the poles from where they snap into the plastic hooks at the corners of the tent because the round tip of the pole would often pull out of the pole. Thankfully I bought this tent at REI and I will be returning it ASAP. I will be switching to a different brand now that the quality of the Nemo tent has become so poor.
