The Aurora Ridge strikes a good balance: not minimalist, but not overbuilt. For those who prioritise space and function over shaving grams, it’s a solid addition to the pack.
Nemo says:
Featuring timeless colors, angular patterning reminiscent of mountainscapes, and a competitive price, the Aurora Ridge Tent screams fun and livability.
Steep sidewalls provide massive interior volume, while two doors and two vestibules allow easy access and plenty of room to store gear.
This versatile and inviting home for adventure features high-quality materials and is light enough for backpacking but ideal for car camping. The included footprint, Light Pockets™, Gear Pockets™, and storage bag complete the package.
Our Verdict
The standout feature of the Nemo Aurora Ridge is the sheer amount of interior space. Near-vertical walls and a generous 112 cm peak height make the space genuinely livable for two adults, something not all 2P tents manage. The dual doors and vestibules provide straightforward entry and exit, along with sufficient gear storage to keep the interior uncluttered.
At 2283g (excluding pegs, bags and footprint), it's not ultralight, but the weight is justifiable given the comfort and materials. It's still light enough to take backpacking if a comfortable shelter and livable space are a priority, and weight can be split between two.
Setup is intuitive thanks to the hubbed pole design, and the strutted fly vents offer effective airflow. The included footprint is a welcome addition, extending floor durability straight out of the bag.
