Tenshi is the ultimate two person tent for extreme 4-season conditions. The tent is one of the last remaining eVent™ single-wall shelters still available on the market.
Weighing under 5 lbs. and massively reducing condensation through multiple vents, Tenshi is an alpine assult tent masquerading as an all mountain shelter. Tenshi will allow you to forget the old school adage that the only way to go high and light involves pain and suffering.
Tenshi is the first and only tent of its kind with an integrated Condensation Curtain™, variable venting and a Removable Insulated Floor (RIF sold separately). A retractable vestibule provides shelter for cooking, but can been clipped out of the way on sunny days or during high winds. Two doors and three vents, all of which can be opened or closed, allow you to monitor the optimal amount of ventilation. Internal poles with Hypalon Corner Pockets™ make for a quick and easy setup.

| sergio | A serious 4 season tent | | 
Voted 5/5 | I shopped for a 4 season tent for a few months and I am happy I was able to narrow my choices down to 3 or 4 tents. The only one I had never seen in person was the Tenshi. I was at the Ouray Ice festival back in January where Nemo had a booth with a Tenshi. I checked it out and had the opportunity to experience the inside space, especially the ceiling height (very important to me!!). My initial impression with the quality and the construction of the tent was very positive. After a more thorough check, I definetely appreciated all the extra features in the Tenshi. You can tell that this tent was designed by people who actually spend a lot of time outside in the cold and on snow/ice. Craftmanship is defintely at par or better than the other 4 season tents makers, i.e. Bibler, Mountain Hardwear, BD etc.. Every details was designed with a specific function in mind, unlike some other tents. Needless to say I bought one and I'm very happy with it. Setting up is a snap and the detachable vestibule is great for cooking and storing packs and gear. Also, the weight is comparable with the MH EV2, although I cannot comment on the durability of its fabric (it seemed good at first look). I definetely recommend this tent because of:
1- Weight
2- Features, versatility and details
3- Vents
4- Extreme breathabilty of the fabric, no condensation at all
5- floor space and vestibule space
6- Easeness of setup
The BD and Integral Designs tents might be a little lighter, but I think they are a little too small for my size. I chose to carry an additional pound or two on a sturdier, roomier and thoughfully designed bombproof 4 season tent then on a lighter tent that is shrank down to the bone.
Other great tents I considered were:
MH EV2 (did not like the integrated vestibule, think of wet boots/packs and cooking)
Bibler Ahwahnee
Bibler Tempest
BD FirstLight
Bibler Eldorado
Integral Designs MK1

| Fabrice.Rimlinger | Excellent tent 5*+ | | 
Voted 5/5 | I tested this tent in strong wind in the Andes, it did not move an inch.Quality is outstanding and ventilation extremely well designed (not mentioning the clever curtain). As spotted by Sergio, every detail was designed with a specific function in mind.
It is super easy to set up, the only thing I did not like was the tiny velcros on the pole, hard to set w/ gloves.
I however sold the tent because I am 1,88m (6ft 2inches) and the Tenshi is 10cm too short for me, the sleeping bag was touching the wall at both ends... Nemo guys, I would glady sacrifice some headroom for some extra length. You have the details right otherwise. I would strongly recommend this tent for light expedition conditions. | | Posted Jan 1, 2009 5:10 pm |

Voted 5/5 | A little hesitant at dropping the money on a tent, but I've been happy with it so far. Taken it on multiple outings, most recently on Shasta's Casaval ridge. Performed like a champ. Some slight condensation issues, but we had the vents closed down pretty good because it was a cold night (so not entirely unexpected). I even like the storage system they send it in, finally a tent that I can fit back into the storage sack when I'm done. Multiple guy-out points make it easy to fight the wind.
The only thing I don't like is the storage sack doesn't compress very well for actually packing it up. I've had much better luck using a granite gear stuff sack (size small) to store the tent body (I don't compress it down, just a smaller volume).
As for sizing, my friend is 6'2" and barely fits in. I'm 5'9" and fit just fine. When both of us are in it, it's a little tight, but it's a more than fair trade for the size/weight/function. | | Posted May 19, 2010 6:29 pm |
