Armed with NEMO’s top-performing OSMO fabric on the fly, Mayfly OSMO is a notably durable backpacking shelter for adventurers ready to hit the trail. A proprietary composite fabric, OSMO is made from 100% recycled polyester and nylon yarns and scores 4x better in water repellency than standard tent fabrics — all while stretching 3x less when wet. OSMO fabrics meet fire retardancy standards without the use of added chemicals and are treated with PFAS-free waterproofing. Paired with the OSMO fly is a super-durable ripstop tent floor that can withstand the not-so-precious treatment that comes with life on the trail. Mayfly OSMO’s massive doors and generous headspace, however, feel anything but rough — there’s ample room for two to comfortably sit side by side. Featuring NEMO-exclusive Elements hardware, this semi-freestanding tent offers an easy, intuitive setup that’s highlighted by the Axial corner anchors, which allow for connection and adjustment in one streamlined piece. A Divvy Cube stuff sack completes the package for efficient storing and splitting the weight with a friend.

A nice balance of durability at a reasonable pack weight. A durable floor and lighter main fabric/pole set. Semi freestanding which saves some weight and keeps the price down, compared to fully free standing. Has Nemo's top-of-the-line Osmo fly. I think the colour too.

I find the tent very good once it is pitched. But, it is difficult to get the tension correct on the corners that don’t get support from the poles. They always seem to sag in towards the middle. Another big gripe is that the ends of the poles stay in the black plastic inserts when you try to remove them. The poles separate more easily than they come out of the black plastic holders. This really makes taking the tent down difficult. I really like the tent once it’s pitched, no complaints. Materials are great, ventilation is good, very roomy. But set up and take down could see some improvements.

We have been getting into overnight backpacking with our family of 3. Really liking the Mayfly 3P for it’s relatively light weight, more durable floor material and it fit our budget. Also liking the Osmo fabric for the added weather protection and environmental footprint. This has been a great tent for us and a great value.

I was looking for a balance between lightweight and durable, and seem to have found it in this tent! Often being very light and packable comes at the expense of durability, but the floor and fly on this tent seem pretty bomber!
This tent offers quite a lot for what you pay. Full of convenience features, nice and roomy and still super light and packable this tent is a perfect addition to your backpacking kit. I really also like that fly is made from OSMO fabrics which are more waterproof and durable than regular silnylon. I noticed a lot less stretch in the tent fly after a rainstorm and felt like the fly didn't soak up nearly as much water either which made packing up in the morning easy. Overall super pleased and can see this tent coming on many more adventures in the future.
I bought this tent five months ago and have used it almost every week since purchasing it. I work in a conservation corp for the majority of the year and spend most the month backpacking. This tent is incredibly easy to set up, put down, and is very light for a 3p. My only complaint is the rainfly. On the front and backside of the tent the rain fly curves up in the middle and doesn’t fully cover the inside mesh, especially when it is windy or storming outside. Definitely brings in a bit of a breeze. Besides that, it’s an excellent tent and has served me so well in the field.
Nemo calls this a three person tent, but it comfortably fits my BF, my dog and myself. Not sure if that mystery third person sleeps in the vestibule!?! Easy setup if you know tents. I popped it up without instructions and then tried to figure out what a little doohickey gadget was for, but the minimal instructions were worthless. Other than that, I like the little gear pockets and the fabric. Great for stargazing without the rainfly in the desert.
What a durable, affordable and overall AWESOME tent! Nemo is a leader in the backcountry camping industry, their product is so innovative and user friendly, plus they have such an amazing sustainability story - I'd highly recommend any of their products! The OSMO material is THE BEST.
I have only had a chance to take this out once (in the summer) so I cannot comment on the warmth, but this is a very comfortable pad! I literally got the best night sleep I have ever had camping. I had to grit my teeth to pay this much for a pad, but glad I did!
The fabric is crazy durable yet weighs nothing. It’s a good size for 2 people backpacking and will keep you dry. Stuff bag can double as a bag to hang from a tree. Tent poles and ground stakes feel durable.
