“I took the Otimos X-Lite Nomad Solo out while hiking part of the South Downs Way during Storm Boelo, and it performed very well.
Conditions were pretty rough, with constant rain, winds around 30–40 mph and gusts up to around 55 mph for much of the night. Despite that, the tent didn’t budge and felt very secure throughout.
It was also quick and straightforward to pitch, and there is easily enough room inside for a large sleeping mat. The separate gear storage area is a great feature as well, particularly when you have a wet pack and don’t want to bring everything into the sleeping area.
Overall, I was really impressed with how the tent handled the conditions and I would highly recommend this tent. After using it in weather like that, I now feel confident taking it up to Scotland knowing it can cope with some fairly serious wind and rain.”
“Took this tent for the first time out on part of the rob roy way and my god does this tent hold up. 1 degree temps and rain most of the night yet not once did i feel cold or catch any drafts. Bone dry inside thanks to the cord guy points on the panels…. Cannot recommend this enough.”
“Really impressed with the Otimos X-lite Nomad Solo.
Id previously had a Fjern Storgrotta 1.5 which the zip broke on my first wild camp. It failed again on my second wild camp and a replacement failed when the pole clips detached so I was looking for something more reliable.
The Nomad feels like its in a different league, really solid when pitched and it feels premium in comparison. It packs down small, pitches easy and carries light.
Very happy and confident it is more capable than I am.”
“I love my Nomad v2 and having enjoyed it for 6 months, in all weathers, I can confirm it is a very adaptable 4 season tent. In hot weather excellent venting, in stormy weather great stability. The 2 features that have grown on me are the assymetric cross pole which makes the doorway a lot bigger, better views, and it makes getting in and out a lot easier - wet weather it stops me bringing much rain into the tent with me. The other is the gear bin, it's so simple its brilliant. It keeps the tent clear (no more rolling onto a water bottle at night) and the entry clear (no more standing on the stove by mistake when I stagger out)”
“I love this tent,very sturdy, lightweight and generally a nice place to be, the vestibule bucket is a good addition for keeping things organised and vestibule is just big enough if you have to cook inside, there is a venting system on the main entra zip which is a brilliant touch, the only bad point is that on its fourth outing the tie for the door had fallen off, I found it laying in the vestibule”
