Hornet OSMO 1P Ultralight Backpacking Tent
Skip until brand discloses water-repellent coating chemistry, ultralight tents commonly use PFAS-based coatings.
The Hornet OSMO 1P uses nylon ripstop with a water-resistant treatment typical of backpacking tents, but Nemo Equipment does not publicly disclose whether their water-repellent coating finish contains PFAS. Ultralight tent fabrics frequently rely on fluorinated coatings for packability and performance.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 45% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
