Nemo makes a great tent. This tent is designed to be used with trekking poles. It weighs in at 3 lbs when it is packed down into its waterproof sack. It is a single wall, no see-um mesh, hybrid tent. It has two, very roomy vestibules. Set up is easy and once it is correctly tensioned, the structure is solid. There is adequate ventilation to prevent condensation from forming inside the tent. There are two vents located in the tent walls (one on either end)which are adjustable and the pole pockets are vented. This does not mean condensation won't form, ever. Under the right conditions it will form, but a small microfiber towel will get rid of it. Also the wall vents are designed to channel condensation out of the tent if it does start running down the walls. I set it up in my backyard and slept in it. The overnight low dropped to about 47F and there was slight condensation forming toward the peak. Not much however. Once the sun hit that part of the tent, the condensation quickly dried. The interior floor space is incredible for a tent this size. Most backpacking tents taper from head to toe in an effort to cut back on the overall weight but this tent is a perfect rectangle with no taper. It's designed for two persons to sleep opposite of eachother, in a head to toe configuration. For one person use, like I use it, the space is outstanding. I'm 6 ft tall and have no issues with my head or feet touching the tent sides. There is a very neat feature with regards to the vestibules. There is an additional, attached cord, which attaches to a loop in the trekking pole pocket. Once tensioned, this cord allows the user to open both vestibule halves completely for maximum ventilation. This design is incorporated on both vestibules. Also, if it does rain, the design allows the user to keep the doors open because the trekking poles project outward on the tent peaks, creating an overhang. Obviously, if it is windy, this doesn't apply. I have not had a chance to test this tent in a rainstorm, but I did use the garden hose and gave it a thorough wetting. Seams are taped from the factory. I did not observe any leaks and I would not have any issues using this tent in rainy conditions, or light snow for that matter.There is an issue you must be aware of before buying this tent. The vestibule doors do not run all the way to the ground. They terminate at a point a few inches above the ground and the reason for this is, if the tent is completely zipped up, there is still ventilation coming into the tent. I was camped in west Texas on a nice patch of level dirt in Caprock Canyons (a photo of this tent in use is published on Google Earth in Caprock Canyons). The topography was desertlike so there was no grass to set up in. During the night the wind picked up and at times I had some windblown dust coming in through the mesh doors. Something to keep in mind if you frequent dusty or desert areas.All in all this is a well designed tent although, a little pricey. I expect to get many years of use from this tent. Also, this tent is not made with sylnylon. It is nylon with a PU laminate. It is not breathable in any manner. Nemo Equipment Meta 2-Person Ultralight Trekking Tent

Have had this tent for close to three years now. I was an early adopter. It's been to several different locales and climes, even up Mt. Adams in WA State to Lunch Counter at the 9000 ft level--twice. This is quite a tent. As with all trekking items, there are some compromises of comfort for weight, however, this tent seems to have the fewest of those that I've researched and/or seen in action.The use of trekking poles for tent poles: Genius. The two huge vestibules with entrances on either side for true two-man utility: Also genius. The vestibules basically solve the gear stowage problems from which so many multi-man ultralight tents suffer. There is enough interior room at 37 sq. ft. for two average-sized adults in head to foot configuration to sleep comfortably with their sleeping bags not jammed up against the tent wall or each other and their gear stowed out of the weather in their respective vestibules.With the tent guyed properly there is decent (but not great--it's a single wall) ventilation and interior head space along with stability. I'm not going to pronounce this thing a four-season mountaineering tent but hey, it's plenty stable and dry if you carefully select your pitch location and set it up properly with an eye to wind-direction, guying, vent patentcy, moisture and gravity. I didn't take it up to Lunch Counter a second time just because it was light...The biggest problem for all trekking tents is weight. This one is around 3 lbs. Problem solved. If you can't carry or fit that, head straight to the nursing home.The next biggest problem is interior space. At 37 sq. ft. of interior space and 22 sq. ft. of vestibule, no 2-man, sub-4 lb. tent even comes close. Problem solved.Another issue is condensation. With proper guying and a partially opened vestibule (proper set-up allows this--don't forget to attach the blue cords in the little velcro sacks to the vestibule apices) you are not going to have a big condensation problem in most weather. Problem largely solved.However, it will accumulate moisture inside if you are in cold or wet-with-wind-type weather and have to completely close the vestibules. Se la vie. Most of it will be taken care of by design elements incorporated into the side walls of the tent (look closely at the photos of the exterior of the sides of the tent and imagine yourself a drop of water dripping down the interior ceiling towards the side walls), which are the key locations because your head(s) are going to be near those areas and condensation is really only a big issue if you get it dripping in your face at night and waking you up. Furthermore, if your gear can't stand a few drops of water overnight, then a tent isn't what you should be looking for right now, is it?Open up your wallet and get this tent. You will learn to appreciate it later if you don't already. It is really a quantum leap in multi-man ultralight tent design and utility. Even now, three years later, I don't see anything superior to it. Sure, it's a little expensive, but aren't all well-designed and constructed items?PS--If you are really looking to save some weight, replace the footprint (an extra item from Nemo BTW) with 10 mil plastic. Less dough and weight. Replace the stock stuff sack with a lighter version from E-vent or Granite. Lose the stake bag and carry only two stakes stowed along with the guylines in the interior pockets of the tent (to be used for staking the vestibules) and use rocks or trees/bushes to anchor your guylines. Exchanging the trekking poles for random downed tree limbs that can be found in most woodland environments (remember, they don't have to bend like in other tents, just find some straight ones that are about 50 inches tall) will also save some weight and expense. I've resorted to this tactic when trekking on non-technical trails where poles are unnecessary and have done just fine au natural. Have fun.

A GREAT single-walled trekking pole tent. Lightweight if you nix the stuff sack and trim the unnecessary addons. I did find that the guy out vents were of an odd design (and will allow for condensation if it is a still night), if you open them fully, the tent wall at the head and foot will sap in a bit. I found that pitching the tent so that the guy lines can be tied to two trees in an upward configuration works like a charm (you can use a Y-shaped stick about midway under the guy lines on either side as well). With minimal non-destructive modification, you can easily remedy most condensation. The vestibules are absolutely huge. Using a mallet, rock or other similar tool to knock in the stakes is important (tying the stake outs around a good sized rock will work in a pinch with very rocky ground). This tent is a bit pricey, but does not need to be re-tensioned even after 5 consecutive nights. Well worth the money if you use trekking poles. My wife and I both sleep comfortably with plenty of room to spare.
