“My V2 is a lovely stable tent in the wind. The offset design makes a big difference, giving a larger door and better view, with less likelihood of catching guy lines when staggering out of the tent. I thought the "gear box" between the tent and flysheet was a gimmick until I bought the tent but it is such a useful feature - keeping things there is much better than in the tent and rolling onto them when asleep, or in the porch and standing on them when you get out of the tent. The "drying line" has a guy rope slider so it can be adjusted and makes a good place to hang your lantern when cooking outside. There are 3 mesh areas in the tent and the flysheet vents outside can all be zipped closed, this reduces the wind entering the tent but it doesn't eliminate it. I camped in a frosty wind and could feel the draught entering the tent. Hopefully Otimos will make a V3 where the tent mesh can be zipped closed with fabric to make the tent wrmer in winter.”
“Straight out the bag onto a high wild camp on the shoulder of pen y fan. Easy to pitch, roomy (I’m 6’2”), nice features, sturdy in mtn conditions ⛺️⛺️”
“After seeing all the reviews online I had to experience the Nomad Solo for myself!!! It ticks every box and for the price is the best value tent I’ve seen around. Really pleased with it?”
“I’ve only used my tent for one night so far, but it was great. Easy set up, plenty of room, even with a wide sleep mat, and loads of great features (I have v2). I also have the footprint which worked well, particularly in the vestibule, although I’ll be interested to see how this latter part affects things in heavy rain.”
“Camped out in the Brecon Beacons last night in filthy weather. Had to pitch it for the first time in the dark aswell. Despite 10hrs of rain and gusts always felt confident through the night. Tent is spacious, robust, fantastic attention to detail and really hard to fault the latest version. It’s slightly heavier than some ultralight tents but worth the carry in any mixed weather outlook. Already in my top 2 favourite tents”
“This is a seriously good tent for the money.
I own several Hilleberg tents, so I know a good tent when I get one & this nomad xlite is great. Had some fairly unpleasant weather first time I used it & the tent performed extremely well.
My favourite tent at the moment.
Well done Ben & the team at Otimos.
I would just like to say also, customer service is exceptional. Really good.
Thanks guys”
“I’m very happy with my new V2 version (returned the V1 version) Nomad Solo tent, the changes that they have made to it make it so much more of a better shelter for spending long dark nights in! Although, I still wouldn’t call it a true ‘4-season’ tent with not having the ability to close off that mesh section on the inner door, if they put a ‘two-way’ zip (V3 Nomad?..) on there so that you could do that, even partially…then I truly think that it would be. Saying that though, I was plenty warm enough inside it on my first nights wild camp recently in the rainy Derbyshire Peaks, the temp dropped to +2 degrees overnight with a -2 windchill, but the temperature remained at a constant +6.5 degrees inside the tent overnight!
I did have quite a bit of condensation in the morning all over the inner fly, and some on inside the inner with me, but then it had rained heavily all that day, and on-off throughout the night, so that’s no fault of the tent - but to be expected in such wet contortions..
Overall I think this will be very solid and dependable shelter, and this will now be my go-to choice over the winter, really looking forward to testing it out in some snow!”
