3P Backpacking Tent Recommendation and Nemo Aurora feedback

[bkdraft62]

Hi all,
I'm looking for a reasonably priced 3P backpacking tent. (3P for use with 2 people).

Does anyone have any suggestions?

REI has closeouts on the Nemo Aurora 3P for a pretty good price (its discontinued so they are reducing stock). It looks good though I have no experience with Nemo anything other than what I've read. Does anyone own that tent or have any feedback on it to share?

Thanks in advance!

Read the dimensions..... a lot of tents fit 3, but chinese sized.

It looks like some people have had problems with longer-term mesh durability. I have an older 2P model, and have not observed those issues, nor have I ever had mesh fall apart like that even on ancient tents.

We have a Nemo Dragonfly 3P tent. Have only used it a couple of times but so far so good.

Build quality feels good. Great space for 2 people (and a dog) for us. Weight is pretty good for its size (1.7kg or so)
