I was worried about purchasing this tent when there were no reviews, only one left, and the price was the least expensive of all the ultra light, free standing backpacking tents I had compared. I pulled the trigger and bought it anyway (trusting the MARMOT brand quality). I just got back from a 5 day backpacking trip that tested every weather condition you can come up with. It is ultralight and feels fragile but it is strong and durable. It held up well in rain, wind, really windy, and blasting sand. There are two Velcro ties on each corner to secure the fly to the poles. (Other brands only have one). This was key to the performance in the wind gusts. The side pockets are handy on both sides. I am not sure it would have accommodated two 25” sleeping pads. We had a 25” & 20” pad fitting snug, with maybe 2” to spare. My partner is 6’ tall and thin. It fits a tall person as well as a shorter person. I am very pleased and highly recommend this tent as well as the Marmot Brand.
I purchased this tent looking for a freestanding ultra light weight Backpacking tent With a reasonable price . It was a risk because there were no Reviews But I counted on the great reputation that Marmot has for their Tents. The tungsten two person ultralight tent gets gold stars on all my requirements. I will update this review after testing this tent In the field I'm sure it will work As well as The regular Marmot tents perform.
Headroom's very spacious, it's light, and I absolutely love how it looks. I'll be using it on weeklong spike trips this season so I'll update this with how it holds up once the season's over.
