Description
Whether your adventures require a tent, a screenhouse, a sunshade, or all three, the versatile Switch shelter can easily transform to handle all of them. With the inner tent deployed and fly attached, it makes a very comfortable abode, with near-vertical walls and copious headroom. Pop the fly off on a sunny day, and you have a perfect screen room for setting up a couple of NEMO Moonlite chairs and a Moonlander table for sharing a cheese board. If you’re headed to the shore, ditch the inner tent and just set up the fly for UPF 50+ protection from the sun. No other tent of this size provides so many possibilities. Switch is 100% flame-retardant chemical-free and built with durable materials so it will endure a lifetime of adventure. It includes a great array of thoughtful features such as our Gatekeeper door clips, our Nightlight Pocket headlamp diffusers, convenient gear storage pockets, and an oversized duffel storage bag which makes packing up a breeze. If your lifestyle has you adventuring in different ways and different places, Switch is ready to transform your experience.

Cool design, some solvable oversights
One thing to get out of the way: this is very difficult to set up in any kind of wind. Tried to set it up on windy days two separate times, once with an experienced camper, and we couldn't do it. If you have a tall tent, that's probably unavoidable, but it does limit its utility as a potential backpacking tent. There is one odd oversight: the included stakes are the most basic possible, just heavy steel rods bent into hook shapes. They didn't even have sharpened bottoms! I bent one trying to get it into dry soil. Replaced them with aluminum backpacking stakes. Also, do yourself a favor and get a pair of 10L stuff sacks. The inner tent and rainfly will each fit into one, and it makes it a lot easier to manage and pack whether it's in the included duffel or in your backpack. Honestly, I feel like it should have come that way, since the poles and stakes already come in their own individual bags, and the included duffel is low compression and really hard to fit into a backpack as a whole package. Get this along with a new set of stakes (at least 7, preferably 9) and a pair of stuff sacks, and it makes for a really cool, modular, roomy design.

Solid tent, great for motorcycle or car camping
Update: Rather than repairing the defective rainfly, NEMO simply sent me an entire new tent. I was very surprised. Their customer service has always been amazing and they were very easy to work with. After a number of trips in all manner of weather, I am still supremely satisfied with this tent. It does need to be guyed out well if you’re in sustained rain conditions to avoid water pooling on the roof, but if you set it up properly it’s bullet proof (figuratively). Design and Versatility: I was drawn to the tent because of its design. I like to take long motorcycle trips and camp along the way. This tent is small enough to pack easily on the bike (Indian Roadmaster), but large enough to be comfortable, and sturdy enough to withstand the myriad conditions encountered on the road. The two vestibule/door design allows for easy access from either side of the tent, which is great. I can guy out the roll top main vestibule with a couple of tarp poles and then back the bike under the awning to create some protection in poor weather (attach another small tarp to the poles and the bike is fully covered). The side wall design of the main vestibule keeps rain from getting into the tent when the awning is guyed out. The second door and vestibule then allow me to access the tent from the other side, without having to crawl around my bike. When not trying to protect the bike, the front vestibule is a great size to sit under in a camp chair (Helinox Chair Two rocker - plenty of room for two and a small camp table - Helinox table one) and I can even fit with the vestibule zipped closed. There are perfectly placed pockets at either end of the tent which happen to be at just the right height for when you’re in a cot (so no leaning over to retrieve items from the lower pockets). There’s also several attachment points on the roof for tying a dry line or hanging a lantern. Set-up: Set-up is a breeze. I saw a previous review claiming the tent cannot be set up in the wind. This person must have zero experience with tent set-up because it is very easy. Simply clip one side under the poles, throw the fly over and clip it to the other side. Even in high winds it’s a piece of cake. Also, in foul weather, it is possible to set up the rain fly first, and then set up the shelter underneath to help keep everything inside dry. The pole design is relatively intuitive, but the Nemo set-up video makes it clear for anyone who might be struggling. Although, the instructions specify to input the silver pole first, and then nest the blue pole inside the silver pole, it’s much simpler to just reverse the process and start with the blue pole. Guy-out points are thoughtfully placed and well reinforced. The included guy lines are high visibility to avoid tripping. Using the guy lines ensures the tent shed water easily in the rain, but they have not been necessary. Comfort:
The tent is easy to get into and out of. Even in poor weather, I’m able to get in and out without a bunch of water pouring onto me or, more importantly, into the tent. The size of the rear vestibule is substantial. This provides ample storage outside of the tent, but with protection from the elements, without the need to mess around near the bike. Inside the tent has a high vertical wall construction, which allows for the use of a full sized cot (Helinox Camp Cot One High). The cot does not touch any of the walls, and when laying on the cot, with a mattress pad, my sleeping bag does not make contact with the walls either. I can also sit up on the cot and have full clearance from the roof (I’m 69” tall). There is plenty of room to stretch out. If you’re sleeping on the ground the shelter is plenty wide for two wide mattress pads (25” wide pads) offering ample room for two people. The rectangular design allows for full room whether you sleep head-to-head or head-to-toe. Construction: The construction is very high quality, with the 68D poly floor and the rainfly, the tent will stand up to the rigors of daily set-up and tear down. The DAC poles are lightweight and strong. The shelter attachment points all seem well stitched and will stand up to some pretty hefty winds. I appreciate the gatekeeper door clips but was disappointed they are only on the front vestibule side panels. All other retention point uses loops and the sliding toggle. Still effective, just not as quick/easy as the gatekeepers. My rainfly was missing one of the retention straps for the main vestibule roll-up awning. I wrote to Nemo and they were very easy to work with. They provided an RA number and just told me to send just the fly in whenever I was ready, It’s been about 5 weeks since they received it in the mail for repairs, but I haven’t heard yet when I should expect it back. I set the tent up and left it out through the rain. Even with the included vents in the rainfly left open, the tent was absolutely bone dry inside after 24 hours of some decent rain. Not only was the tent bone dry, but the ground under the vestibule was also dry. After several nights of use in higher humidity, there was NO noticeable condensation. Using the ground cloth (footprint), I didn’t even have a wet floor (though that was likely more due to the conditions. Dimensions: I measured the dimensions against Nemo’s stated dimensions and they are accurate. Peak Height (Front Vestibule): 57” Low height (Rear Vestibule): 51” Floor length: 88” Floor width: 51” Rear Vestibule Depth: 36” Rear Vestibule Max Width: 90” Front Vestibule Depth: 40” Front Vestibule Awning length (when extended parallel to the ground): 65” Add ons: Ground Cloth: I purchased the expensive Nemo footprint, which was unnecessary unless you have an OCD like need for your footprint to perfectly match the tent. For initial testing I used a redcamp footprint that was almost the perfect size, and it worked exactly as needed. It was also about $50 cheaper than the Nemo footprint. But the Nemo was easy to attach and worked effectively. Tarp poles: I have tarp poles and trekking poles. The trekking poles are too low for a parallel awning, but are still useful if you want something a little lower for more protection. The tarp poles work great for parking the bike under the awning, or for just creating a higher awning to sit/stand under. Other thoughts: The stakes are beefy! These are some hefty stakes. They’re much heavier than they need to be, but once in the ground, they’re not going anywhere. There’s a blunt point on them, so not ideal for rocky or rooted ground. Not the best stakes ever, but at least they’re not weak. I personally just use my groundhog aluminum stakes to save weight on the bike. Vents: The vent design is Nemo standard. There are three total vents in the fly, at each of the vestibule openings. Zip the double zipper down from the top a bit and use the attached strut to stretch open the vent. Extra fabric covers the opening enough to keep rain out while allowing fresh air in. No water got in during my test. I have not closed the vestibule completely at night, opting to keep the large door open which easily guarded against condensation. Even closed up, the overall design of the tent creates significant ventilation at the base to allow fresh air in. Condensation has not been an issue at all. This is a true three-season tent. Will keep cool in the hot summer, and allow for good protection in anything but heavy snow. (Snow will too easily drift up under the fly and likely build up on the relatively flat roof. This is not for use in the fourth season). At nearly 9 pounds, this is NOT really a backpacking tent. There are much lighter and more compressible options for backpacking (I have the Dragonfly OSMO). Overall, a great product thus far. I’ve spent several nights in it now and it’s a quality tent, with an amazing design, which will work great for my primary application of Moto-camping.

Baptism by Snow, Rain & Wind
My first experience with this tent was on a 5 day/4 night canoe-camping trip in mid-May on the remote Allagash River in the North Maine Woods. At various times in camp we had high winds, rain, subfreezing nights, and even light snow. The tent took it all in stride. The Switch can be pitched fly-only as a sun shade. That's a bit of a gimmick IMO, but what that feature allows you to do (although Nemo doesn't advertise it) is pitch the entire tent fly-first. That is a must-have feature in a tent because you sometimes have to pitch a tent in the rain. If you can't pitch fly-first, you end up with a soaking wet interior tent, which is not a lot of fun to sleep in. To pitch the Switch fly-first, just follow the directions to set it up as a sun shade using either the included ground strap or the optional ground sheet. [If you really want to get fancy and don't want to get even the ground sheet wet, you can pitch the fly using the ground strap before putting the ground sheet down.] Once the fly is pitched, bring the tent inside the fly, slip the corner grommets under the pole tips and then start attaching the the tent clips to the poles. It's a little more awkward to do it this way versus pitching the inner tent first; but having this feature is practically worth its weight in gold when you are pitching a tent in the rain, as I had to do at least once on my first trip with the Switch. . The main feature that drew me to this tent is the headroom. Particularly at the front, the Switch's headroom is pretty amazing for a 2 person tent. No more crawling in and out of the tent on your hands and knees. Just duck slightly (I'm 5'9.5"). The extra height of the tent is designed to allow you prop up the fly door using some (not included) treking poles or tarp poles and to use the vestible area to set up some chairs and even a table outside the tent but protected from the sun. But the extra height also allowed me the luxury of bringing my camping chair (a tall back, Big Agnes Six) fully inside the tent at night and still have room enough for my extra-wide sleeping pad. [Why put a chair inside a tent at night? Well, it's how I like to read before I go to sleep (and to help me fall asleep). Also having a chair in the tent is great if you have any kind of reflux issues. Anyhow, protect the floor of the tent by putting something on or under the feet of the chair -- old tennis balls sliced to accept the feet or even some spare socks will work.] The design means the front vestibule is absolutely huge. But because the rear vestibule is big enough to hold my 105 liter river duffel, and my PFD (life preserver),and several smaller 20 liter dry bags, I kept the front vestibule totally clear except for my shoes. Durability is yet to be determined but the construction & quality of materials seem excellent. Adequate number of interior pockets. Stakes are very heavy duty and a little primitive; you may want to buy some lighter ones. The guy-out lines are very high quality with good adjusters and they actually give you an adequate number -- six -- although there are potentially more than six guy-out points. Two of the provided guy-out lines are extra long (presumably for use with the fly door propped up. The only negative I would say is that the Switch is a bit on the heavy/bulky side. But this is a "camping" tent, not a backpacking tent. The weight really isn't an issue if you are car camping or canoe camping (unless you are doing a ton of portaging).

Branding was the dealbreaker
This tent has giant logos that are subtle from the outside but very prominent from the inside. I'm used to Marmot tents that have a tasteful logo, and furthermore the Nemo logo looks military to me. Aside from that I would have kept it because, it is large enough to put a coleman cot inside and to sit on the cot (and put luggage underneath). The pole system is easy to set up with quick release (no sleeves). Inside there is a lantern loop at the apex, and several thoughtfully placed gear pockets. The tent looks great without the fly with a full view of the sky. Such a shame about the branding on the fly!!
