I bought the tent nearly a month ago and used it once so far. As far as I am able to tell you were pretty spot on with the details of the tent. I would say it is by far my favorite out of the other tents I have. The lifetime warranty does make a difference if you are worried about price, even heard of someone buying a discounted damaged Dagger and used the warranty to get it fixed up like new. With the weight, you can split the fly and the poles for each person (it is a two person tent so splitting the weight isn't an issue here), remove the landing zone, replace the stakes since they are heavy, and remove the bag for the poles.
That is really useful to know! I always buy a matching footprint if i can, it's a no brainer. The one big minus for this tent is inner first pitch, but if that can be overcome it's a gamechanger. Still not sure it's 3 season, though, looks like summer and relatively calm conditions, not sure I'd want to be in it on the coast of Pembrokeshire in November, but I guess I have other much heavier and stronger tents for that.
The Dagger Osmo would be a good choice for Bikepacking, but it might also be worth looking at the Nemo Dragonfly Bikepacking tent too - tinyurl.com/Dragonfly-Osmo Slightly easier to attach to your panniers/bars as the pole sections are shorter. It is slightly less stable in the wind though, so depending on where you're using it you may still want to go with the Dagger. Either way, we hope you have some great bikepacking adventures! We'd love to hear about them.
Great review, I just wish it was closer to 3lbs like the Hubba Hubba and Copper Spur. I really like the Dagger, but not sure it is worth the extra weight compared to the MSR or BA?
The weights may vary depending on where you're buying the tent. Here both tents are identical in their minimum weight and only approx 100g apart when packed.
I bought this tent one year ago and I love it. Compared to the BA copper spur, it feels a little bit more robust. I have slept about 10 nights in it, but not in any strong winds yet, so I can't judge wind performance yet.
Thanks for the hands-on review ! I’m just a bit worried that I could let rain into the tent by touching its uncovered bathtub end with my feet (I’m about 190cm). What do you think?
Whilst is it possible to let some condensation through by contacting the bathtub with your feet, you should be fine there. Ben is 191cm and has no issues fitting in the Dagger without touching the ends. Just be conscious of your position when you're getting ready to sleep and you'll be fine. Or be extra anti-social and sleep diagonally, taking up the entire two-man to yourself for a very comfortable night.
Hi great vid. I've just bought one (not used yet) but I've noticed you had yellow cross over pole going underneath black pole and other vids show it on top of blackpole, does it matter ? cheers
Good spot-can't imagine it makes a huge difference but probably best to go with yellow over the top as that seems to be how NEMO have it in their images.
Looking to get a UL 2 person tent, and this look interesting. What about the gap around the fly though, it sits awfully high up, so doesn't look remotely like 4 season capable?
Whilst you probably could, we wouldn't ideally recommend it as you'd be putting extra pressure on the bathtub of the tent, especially when two of you are lying down on your mats. Nemo also do a 3-person version of the Dagger Osmo and honestly for the small extra weight penalty that extra wiggle room is welcome.
I own the 3P. It's really nice to have that extra space inside when using it with 2 persons. Especially when you consider it has the same pack size but just a little bit more weight.
Locked in the Dagger OSMO 2P today! Big thanks to you and the team in effort of this video.
Ah no problem, enjoy the new tent!
Update, how do you feel about the two person. Think it’s a little tight for two?

Glad we could help!
I'm cross-shopping with a Big Agnes Copper Spur 3 and this review has been incredibly helpful. I love the colour combo Nemo chose here.
Wonderful job on the presentation!
Thank you!
This is definitely my next tent great review been looking at it on your website for a while now
It's a great tent, absolutely worth it. I've used it for two nights now and considering one for myself. Harry
I really like the look of this tent.
Looks good
Such a good and comprehensive review!
Thank you!
Brilliant tent ... so much better than a copper spur!
Great video. Not advertised as one, but this tent can be pitched outer first if you buy the footprint.

clicked for the tent review...stayed for the puppy 😁
Haha, good stuff. Maybe we should bring Tess more often
I am thinking about this Nemo Dagger OSMO Tent for BikePacking/Bicycle Touring

Excelent. Good show.
Amazing review, very clear, thank you! I think in another video I heard you don't get enough pegs for all the guylines?
Great review, I just wish it was closer to 3lbs like the Hubba Hubba and Copper Spur. I really like the Dagger, but not sure it is worth the extra weight compared to the MSR or BA?

Great video, big thanks! If you have the footprint, are you able to pitch the Dagger fly first?
It is technically possible to pitch fly first with the footprint, but it is a little faffy to do it.

We're glad you're enjoying your Dagger Osmo, we're big fans of it at Team Trekitt.
Thanks for the hands-on review !

@@trekitt Thanks, that helps a lot!
So you have to buy more stakes for the guy lines?

It's 3-season rated. Definitely not up to 4 season use due to its lightweight nature.
1.8 pound is really good for a free-standing tent 👏🏻
Kilos, not pounds.
came fot the Tent, and gave a like fot the dog.
but overall great vid!
Haha, I'll bring the Spaniel more often then!
can you use the landing zone on either side?
It can be attached in either doorway.
I have 2 26" sleeping pads from Kiko gear.. I know the 10 says it's 50" wide but do you think it can squeeze an extra 2"?
Whilst you probably could, we wouldn't ideally recommend it as you'd be putting extra pressure on the bathtub of the tent, especially when two of you are lying down on your mats. Nemo also do a 3-person version of the Dagger Osmo and honestly for the small extra weight penalty that extra wiggle room is welcome.
Did you find this easy ish to set up? I’m a beginner looking to buy my first tent.
Very. I'd say it's one of the easiest tents we have to set up as there aren't any pole sleeves like in most beginner tents.
@@trekitt thank you for your reply 😊
Any chance for a Nemo Dagger Osmo 3p review? Torn between 2p and 3p 🙁
Probably not I'm afraid. It is essentially the same tent though, just with some more width.
I own the 3P. It's really nice to have that extra space inside when using it with 2 persons. Especially when you consider it has the same pack size but just a little bit more weight.
@@samael5782 thanks, went for a 3P as well in the end :-)
Just ordered the 3 person. Now are yal liking the size ?
Do you ship to ph?
We don't ship out of the UK I'm afraid.
It’s a damn sexy tent.
The cross pole should be over the top
