NEMO Equipment offers a wide variety of shelters that will accommodate users from 1 to 20. Here, you see their Coda 1.5P SE which incorporates dual side openings as well as a vestibule.
For years the US military has issued a canvas tent for use in arctic environments. NEMO Equipment has developed a new shelter called the ISOPOD300X SE for a USMC requirement to replace this older shelter.
This slightly smaller ISOPOD100 (above) version is in Orange but its also offered in any of the NEMO SE colors such as Alpha Green, Coyote and MultiCam. This tent will handle a wind load in excess of 80 mph.
From above the ISOPOD300X resembles a cloverleaf. It’s a single wall tent and the Gore-tex fabric is also FR and offers blackout for light suppression. You can turn a light on inside and the tent won’t “glow”. It is under 150 lbs and this shelter will also accept a space heater as well as HVAC units.
They are also currently working on a new version of the US Army’s 10 men Arctic tent designed in 1952. Referred to as an Octopod, it will be a center pole design and fit in an akio.

I sure hope its under 150#! That would be a bear to carry!
It’s a 10-15 man base camp tent. You can get an idea of the size in this photo: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lrKCcoMfqz0/UQqC1FE3C-I/AAAAAAAABq4/OC5G-1v7Qwk/s1600/IMG_1690.jpg
Now that makes more sense. I was reading the text wrong. Where it said “from above” in the article, I was thinking it was regarding the pics “above” in the article. My bad, gotta pay better attention. Thanks for the clarification.
Could someone please tell me where I can actually buy Nemo Shield Edition tents/bags? I must be missing something because I cannot actually find any for sale anywhere.
direct your inquiry to journey@nemoequipment.com for now. NEMO Shield will have a website up in the near future.
Finally, thank you! I spent a night combing the internet for a Stratos SE and Losi 2P Combat last week and thought I was going crazy.
i did a writeup on the Losi Combat 2P recently:

It’s a small internet, your review was the reason I wanted one in the first place..
