Hi All.
Question, apologies if previously covered
I'm wondering how this cutout fares in heavy rain and non ideal camp…
It makes me anxious

For those who like Nemo, are my concerns about getting wet unfounded?
Thanks.

Looks bombproof. Try to get it setup before rain, try not to track any water/mud inside and when it is raining do not have anything touching the sides of the tent when you are inside. Make sure to have your vents open too. A lot of condensation can saturate the inside of a tent, but this is a double wall and very good at keeping the moisture out.
I have the same tent and just used it in heavy rain and was totally fine. It’s the same material and coating as the rainfly. I’ve had times where the bottom of a tent floor looks like a waterbed. The only potential issue is increased condensation but it’s minimal
The side of the tent you’re seeing is the same material as the floor. How are you going to get wet?
I don’t have a Nemo, but I have a MSR freelite with a similar cutout and I have had it blown flat in a torrential rain storm and everything stayed dry.
I had one night (out of about a 100/150 in a Nemo Dagger) where a *heavy* thunderstorm managed to push rain between inner and outer tent at the cutout side. Inside was a little wet afterwards.
More irritating is the fact that quite a lot of condensation forms near your head in cold nights since there’s no double wall.
