Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This tent is extremely easy to setup (even in the pouring rain) and has served us well through all seasons. It has been warm and insulating in very cold temperatures (well below freezing) above 12,000 feet in CO. Although it is a two person tent, it is a little on the small side, but that helps with the minimal weight. Also, if you are looking for a tent with a large vestibule, this is not a tent for you. The vestibule has enough room for two large packs and shoes- that's it. The vents, places to attach biners and lights, and the colors are all nice touches. If your idea of backpacking is roughing it and going fast and light, this is the tent for you- it's just the perfect size and holds up in nasty weather.
Unfortunately while trying to set it up in a hail storm, I was rushing and bent a pole too much- breaking it and the shock cord inside. This sounds like the beginning of a bad review, but it comes with some nice extra pole pieces that we were able to rig so our trip could continue with a standing tent. After getting home and sending it away for free Marmot got a new pole back to us within 4 weeks. Marmot rocks!
