Comments about Marmot Thor 3P Tent:

My review is based on the 2P version, but as it's the same construction (just smaller), I thought my review would still be applicable.

Our previous tent (Marmot Aura 2P) was awesome by every metric. Lightweight, roomy, sturdy, and a good vestibule design. But, we now live in Denver and most of our backpacking is in the mountains and often above treeline. So - we needed a tent that was a bit more burly, and also more warm (Aura was all mesh and pretty chilly).

The design of the tent is fantastic. The main vestibule is plenty big to house both packs, boots, and still have enough room to cook in. I frequently set my sleeping pad chair sideways at the tent body entrance and cook in the vestibule. For one - the stove heat gets the inside of the tent nice and warm, and it's also a good way to cook if it's windy.

For a 2P tent - it's huge inside. I'd almost say it's *too* wide since you can almost fit 3 people in a pinch. The ceiling is nice and tall, and the walls are nearly vertical thanks to the knee-pole design. So, we have more than enough room to move about in there. The ceiling panels allow great control over the ventilation, and there are plenty of hooks, loops, and such to setup a clothes line. There is a single hook that hangs from the ceiling and it's strong enough that we hang our 3 liter Sawyer from it for filtering water. The mesh pockets on the ceiling hold a lot of stuff, but don't sag, and same goes for the pockets on the sides. With the Aura tent, you'd fill the side pockets and the walls would start to cave in. Ventilation wise - we've head the tent high in the alpine and also at the bottom of the Grand Canyon - and we've never had an issue with condensation. That's not to say you wouldn't, but with proper ventilation techniques, we haven't had any. It's a warm tent, but even at the bottom of the Grand Canyon where temps never got colder than 70 degrees, we'd leave the fly off, zip the doors only half way up (keep the creepy crawlies out), and had the ceiling vents open. We slept on top of our down bags and were very comfortable.

Structurally - this tent could withstand a hurricane. There are *PLENTY* of guy line attachments on the outside and even with just staking out the tent poles - the tent is quite sturdy. I've had a lot of tents int he past, and have always loved Marmot tents for their quality construction and the colors (keeps things nice and upbeat when it's bad weather). The fly pitches taught so you don't get flapping fabric - even when it's raining. The footprint is quite large for a 2P tent, and that is one drawback for it. Weight was - well there is no getting around the fact that it's a heavy tent. Nearly twice as heavy as our old tent, but there is nothing worse than laying your tent wondering if it's going to shred our not during a particularly nasty storm. Or, you're crossing your fingers hoping it doesn't cave in from a freak snow storm. Since we spend a lot of time in our tents - having a shelter we enjoy being in, can cook in, and feel safe in when the weather turns bad (and it can turn real bad in the mountains), the weight was a fair tradeoff. The rest of out gear is still pretty light, so our total pack weights are still in the low 30s.

Setup is pretty complicated the first time. The directions are clear in how to do it, and once you do it once or twice - then it's pretty straight forward. To properly set it up, stake it out, and guy it out at the corners - it takes about 20 minutes. But - it's not like we often have huge time crunches in the mountains, so it doesn't really matter to us that it takes twice as long as our old tent.

If you can stomach the weight - this is one of the most versatile, comfortable, bomb-proof shelters we've ever owned. It's expensive and heavy, but we feel complete confidence in setting this up at the top of a mountain in the winter, or the bottom of the Grand Canyon in the summer.

Comments about Marmot Thor 3P Tent:

This is a true three person tent. We used this tent on The South Sister summit (10'358') last season for two nights, with three big guys packed in. It wasn't the Hilton but we were able to rest fairly comfortably.

I have experienced little condensation on my snow trips and the tent gets pretty warm with a couple people in it. It is a little heavy, but if you split your gear with your partners up or pull it in a sled then it's worth it.

Comments about Marmot Thor 3P Tent:

I got the Thor 3 person tent as a replacement for my 14 year old Marmot Bastille tent. Since I have excellent service from Marmot with tent repairs in the past I naturally looked at Marmot to replace this tent. The Thor 3 person was my choice.

My first impression when I received the tent was the weight and size of the tent container. This was, however, soon explained when I pitched the tent. It is HUGE and very spacious. It is truly a 3 person tent with a very spacious vestibule.

The over-vertical tent sides enhances the feeling of spaciousness inside the tent. The addition of the widow on the brilliantly spacious vestibule is a welcome addition.

the quality of the poles and tent materials is excellent and very much on par with previous Marmot tents I've owned. All the seams are tape sealed so, although not tested yet, should not be a problem.

Comments about Marmot Thor 3P Tent:

This is my 1st tent from Marmot, and I am very happy that I bought this tent. Set up is pretty easy. It only took 6 minutes. Get the footprint if you are in rocky areas. Great product!
