If you thought buying a mountain bike<\/a> was tough, just wait until you take the leap into bikepacking. As I prepare to thru-ride the Colorado Trail<\/a> this summer, I\u2019ve realized that bikepacking is probably one of the most gear-intensive human-powered sports in existence.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s no end of gear to choose from. For sleep systems alone, you must choose between a bivy, a tarp, a tent (freestanding or not?), a hammock, or something else entirely that I probably don\u2019t even know about. Once narrowed down to a tent, the options between freestanding or not, and the durability and robustness of said tent, still feel overwhelming.<\/p>\n

As I slowly narrowed down my desired durability vs. weight tradeoff, I reached out to NEMO to test the \u201cHornet Osmo Ultralight Backpacking Tent,\u201d which seemed like the perfect combination of low weight, packability, and robustness for camping in an alpine environment.<\/p>\n
