The Nemo Dagger 3P (4 pounds 5 ounces / 2 kg, MSRP $529.95) is a three-person, free-standing tent with roomy vestibules, light-diffusing overhead pockets, a stuff-sack system designed to help split the load amongst hiking partners, and pre-bent, color-coded poles (2019 update) for easy setup.
I have the Dagger 3p. Have used it with 2 of my teenage kids. All 3 pads fit in there and all of our gear as well. Snug fit, but just fine. It even rained over night and we all stayed dry and comfortable. I never hesitate to recommend it when someone asking for a 3p free standing tent. Nice review you made here, thanks for posting it!
Hmmmm… This tent is no larger than my TWO person Tarptent SCARP 2. Plus, in a storm it must be set up (awkwardly) by 1.) setting up the pole frame 2.) attaching the fly and 3.) crawling under the fly and clipping the inner tent to the pole frame! Mon Dieu!
My SCARP 2 sets up with the inner tent already attached to the fly – thankfully. In a winter storm it has been so nice to set it up quickly.
