Roomy interior with smart access

Aurora features striking vertical walls and expansive doors that open up a surprisingly spacious living area. Whether you’re planning a multi-night campsite with friends or a weekend family trip, the layout invites relaxed seating, easy movement, and quick gear stowage. The interior is organized with discreet pockets to keep essentials within arm’s reach, and overhead Nightlight Pockets diffuse headlamp light to cast a warm glow after dark, creating a comfortable shelter vibe.

• Massive doors and vestibules offer ample gear storage and easy access.
• Divvy Cube rectangular stuff sack allows you to split the weight with your partner but stows more efficiently in your pack.
• The bluesign approved recycled tent floor pairs with an included footprint to extend the floor's lifespan.
• PFAS-free rainfly is waterproof and meets fire safety standards without FR chemicals.

Durability meets sustainability

Aurora isn’t just spacious—it’s built for longevity. The combination of a bluesign-approved recycled floor and a complementary footprint helps protect the base from abrasion on rocky or uneven terrain. The PFAS-free rainfly provides reliable weather protection while avoiding chemical concerns typically associated with some fabrics. These choices reflect a commitment to responsible materials without compromising performance on wet or windy nights.

Carry, pack, and adapt on the trail

The pole system features a custom forged hub as part of NEMO’s Elements hardware collection, contributing to quick, confident setup. When needed, Aurora packs efficiently into a Divvy Cube sack, and you can remove the poles to further share weight with a companion. A complementary footprint helps extend the tent’s lifespan on rough terrain, keeping camping plans flexible whether you’re trekking into the backcountry or parking at a campground.

For trips that mix driving and hiking, Aurora offers a practical balance of space and portability. The tall walls and accessible doors create a home-like feel at the site, while the packable design and included footprint help you keep essentials organized and protected across changing conditions.
