NEMO Equipment Sets a New Sustainability Benchmark with Dagger OSMO™
NEMO Equipment has announced a major sustainability milestone with the relaunch of its best-selling Dagger OSMO™ tent as the first bluesign® PRODUCT-certified backpacking tent. Known for its lightweight performance and spacious design, the updated 2025 version now integrates PFAS- and FRC-free, 100% recycled solution-dyed fabrics, reflecting NEMO’s commitment to environmentally safe and ethically produced gear.
The bluesign® PRODUCT certification ensures that every component, from fabrics to finishes, meets stringent standards for clean chemistry, worker safety, and environmental responsibility. Achieving this in a technical gear category like tents, where durability, weather resistance, and UV protection are paramount, marks a breakthrough in sustainable outdoor gear design.
The redesigned Dagger OSMO™ includes new Elements™ hardware, expanding interior space and peak height without extra weight. Features like the Axial™ corner anchors for fast setup, Stash™ struts for 22% more vestibule storage, and an improved Divvy Cube™ make it both functional and efficient. The tent comes in 2- and 3-person options, with a minimum weight of 3 lbs 5 oz for the 2P and MSRP of $499.95.
“This bluesign® recognition shows our dedication to both performance and sustainable practices,” said Gabi Rosenbrien, NEMO’s Product Development Director. The development required coordination with suppliers to ensure over 65 tent components met strict environmental standards.
Daniel Rufenacht, CEO of bluesign®, praised the move, noting that NEMO’s bold approach sets a new bar for the outdoor industry by showing how sustainability and high performance can coexist.
