Awesome tent!!!, July 28, 2009
I have been using this tent for a little over a month now and have been extremely please with it. It has rained almost every night when I used it and managed to keep everyone dry.

Best Tent I have EVER owned!, June 4, 2009

I have owned and tried a number of tents because we go car camping, motorcycle camping and backpacking. I am really not exaggerating when I say this is the best tent I have ever owned. It is so well made, the size is perfect and the system of accessories I ordered was great. The packed size fits well on my motorcycle and the weight is very light. If you know you are going to have good weather you can save some size and weight by either leaving the rain fly home or using just the rain fly and footprint. There is a nice sized vestibule when using the rain fly. I do suggest ordering the Footprint and Pawprint. The Pawprint will make it a snap to keep the tent clean and if you have a dog they will love having it to lay on. This tent is very roomy for two people and a couple of dogs. Setup The setup took about 15 minutes the first time and now it takes 5 minutes if we don't use the rain fly (which we seldom use), 8 minutes if we do. There is no reason to stake the base of the tent unless it is windy. The Jakes Feet are very stable and hold the tent sturdy. The footprint clips on the straps that are attached to the Jakes Feet so there is no reason to stake the footprint. The Pawprint snaps right in the corners of the tent. If there is rain this is one of the few tents you will not get wet in, it really is designed well. The tent has two doors, one on each side. It comes with a gear storage caddy that can be moved to either side of the tent. You can get a gear loft that snaps in the top but I haven't ever need that with all the room the tent has. I do recommend the Pawprint and Footprint. Enjoy the outdoors!

Owners praise the build quality and spaciousness; one calls it "palatial." Minor quibbles include small doors on the rainfly as well as the possibility of dust blowing under the fly into the tent.

5. Trailspace.com

The handful of owners reviewing the Nemo Losi 3P here give it high praise. One notes that the organizer pocket includes a headlamp diffuser for room lighting. A minor drawback is that users may need some time to learn how to fold it properly to get it into the carrying bag.

6. Backcountry.com

The Nemo Losi 3P and the smaller 2P version earn high praise here from the handful of owners reviewing them here. The "pawprint" is useful for holding sleeping pads in place. The abundance of mesh makes this a three-season tent, chilly in temperatures below freezing.

7. Amazon.com

The sole owner-written review posted here gives the Nemo Losi 3P tent the highest possible rating, calling it the best tent he's ever owned -- for car camping and motorcycle camping as well as backpacking. Design is excellent, with quick setup and excellent rainproofing.
