Nemo Morpho AR 2 Tent
Nemo Morpho AR 2 Tent - No poles required!
How would you like a backpacking tent that requires no poles, wieghs around four pounds, and sets up in less than 45 seconds? Sound too good to be true? It isn’t a dream, its the Nemo Morpho AR 2 Tent. The tent uses a unique technology the company calls AirSupported Technology. This technology makes the tent lighter, stronger, and easier to setup than traditional backpacking tents.
The Nemo Morpho AR 2 Tent uses AirSupported beams to support the tent and give it its shape. These AirSupported beams are twice as strong as typical aluminum poles and are less likely to snap under pressure. Instead, the AirSuppoted beams of the Nemo Morpho AR 2 Tent bend with pressure and pop right back into place.
Don’t think that because the Nemo Morpho AR 2 Tent uses this AirSupported technology that its some crappy, inflatable tent. Its quite the opposite. The Nemo Morpho AR 2 Tent can handle light snow, high winds, and down pours like a champ. In the event that the heavy duty, laminate covered fabric punctures, it is easy to repair in the field.

I think the Nemo Morpho AR 2 Tent is an awesome design and very interesting technology. I would love to hear about anyones experience with the Nemo Morpho AR 2 Tent in an extreme condition. Does it hold up as well as other high end, three season tents or does it buckle under pressure of wind and rain?
