Nomad 2 Hike Tent

G'day Scott,

Unfortunately, as the tapered end goes dow to 55cm, you wont be able to fit a Monstamat in the Nomad 2.

G'day Heath,

Oztrail doesn't give an exact weight for the pegs supplied with the Nomad 2 but they are quite small and lightweight (approximately 80g-100g). You could replace them with some slightly lighter pegs but to be honest you probably won't save yourself too much weight.

G'day James,

We don't currently have a Nomad 2 available to double check how many pegs they are supplied with. However, based on the shape of the tent and the peg points pictured you would need 16 pegs for the tents itself and may a couple of spares for the guy ropes.

G'day Claire,

The Nomad 2 Hike Tent fly comes down to the within a few centimetres of the ground. The photo is showing the door in the fly rolled up, when it is closed it comes quite close to the ground.

G'day Glen,

The Nomad 2 Hike Tent doesn't have a lantern hanger spot inside, but it has some side stow pockets you might be able to pop a head torch in to.  

G'day Kate,

The Nomad 2 is Hike tent so it's not really designed to be high enough to fit a Zempire Speedy Stretcher Bed. If you're wanting to sleep on a stretcher you probably need to look at a larger 3-4 person dome tent.

G'day Arik,

Unfortunately the Oztrail Nomad Hike Tent is not freestanding, so you will need to use pegs to get it standing upright.

G'day Jemma,

I reckon you'll just be able to squeeze a regular and large Sea to Summit Ultralight Sleeping Mat into the Oztrail Nomad 2 Hike Tent but would suggest that you'd be right up shoulder to shoulder with each other and the walls. 

G'day Bruce,

Your Exped Megamat 10 LXW will fit inside the Oztrail Nomad 2 Hike Tent but like you said, the odd shape does mean that you lose a bit of room and it goes virtually right to the edges, so just make sure you peg your tent out nice and taut. 

G'day Lisa,

The Oztrail Leisure Mat double won't fit in the Oztrail Nomad 2 due to the shape of the footprint of the tent. The Nomad 2 is a hiking tent so is best suited to fit 2 single hiking mats inside it that will taper toward the foot end.

G'day Kim,

It should take 10-15 minutes to set up the Oztrail Nomad 2 Hike Tent, and yes tt is suitable year-round in Southeast Qld.

G'day Frank,

It might sound a little bit cliché but like most things, with tents, you get what you pay for. The Oztrail Nomad 2 Hike Tent is a great value tent for the price. The lack of a Waterhead rating doesn't mean that it doesn't have one, just that it's never been tested. Going for a tent with a Waterhead rating will give you some peace of mind about the sort of protection you'll get from rain. We've written a great blog in this that might be helpful to you picking a tent. You can read that blog here. 

G'day Shannon, 

If you place your Darche 900 Mattress at the top end of the tent, almost touching the wall, then it will fit into the Oztrail Nomad 2 Hike Tent with a good few inches spare at the foot end. 

G'day Jo,

I've just had a quick look at one of the Oztrail Nomad 2 Hike Tents we've got in store. The outer dimensions are 135 x 250 cm. As for the Waterhead rating, these tents have never been formally tested to give a figure to this rating but Oztrail do guarantee that it's 100% waterproof, so if you have any issues, we can take it up with them for you!

G'day Stephanie,

As with all hiking tents, the person capacity is tight because every cm of space is used to conserve weight, but it is possible to fit two. It just depends on how cosy and snug you'd like to be.
