Marmot  Tungsten 3-Person Tent with Footprint

My first tungsten 3p tent was purchased approximately 10 years ago and has been very well used (and well taken care of). I decided to purchase a new Tungsten tent because I just couldn't get the water to bead away after waterproofing many times over the years (Kiwi Camp Dry and Wood's silicone waterproof spray). Also, the velcro tabs kept coming off even though I I glued them back on... and the tent clips (that attach to the poles) were starting to tear away from the screening. Anyway, it had served me very well and I accepted that these are the things that slowly start to break down after many years of use. In setting up my new Tungsten tent, I instantly noticed the quality of materials did not match up to my old version of this tent. Material is finer (feels thinner), all of the strapping and buckles are smaller and there is just an overall feeling of cheapness to the tent. I've only been on a 5 day trip so far and it kept me dry. And I do appreciate the improvement with moving from plastic to aluminum for the piece that ties the main poles together. I expect it will serve it's purpose but just disappointed in the loss of quality in materials. I also suspect that it will not last as long as my old version. One last gripe, there are 8 points of tie down on the tent itself plus 4 more to secure the fly in high winds, for a total of 12 tent pegs required, so why does the tent only come with 6 pegs. I weighed the tent and fly and there is only a 5 gram difference between the old and new, so cutting quality on the materials wasn't to reduce weight. Very disappointed, I used to rave about this tent to everyone I knew but will no longer be recommending it unless the quality in materials is improved upon.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the nicest tent I've ever owned . I loved everything about it . Unfortunately it was stolen, from my camp near Zion National Park, along with my sleeping bags and mats. I guess I was only meant to own cheap tents that are more disposable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have an older version of this tent, but was recently camping and reminded again of how amazing it is. I left the rain fly tucked open and it rained while I was away and when I came back everything was dry. I have had a version of this tent for over 12 years. I will buy only this tent. I am consistently left completely dry when others are complaining of some leak or puddle in their tent. Even if my bag or something is left pushed up against the tent wall. Which often happens as I camp with small children. This has been our go to family tent and it has never failed us. I have also back packed with it. Great tent, highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As an AARP card carrying Northwoods outdoor woman, I find the Tungsten 3-person Tent to meet my requirements for low weight, high water/wind resistancy, high ease of set-up/breakdown, high spaciousness for size, and high marks for dual doors with silent/flexible zippers.. Even when I camp from my Scamp, due to its ease and portability, I set up my Marmot Tungsten Tent to indulge in a few nights sleeping under the stars. Additionally, the Marmot quality lifetime guarantee is a plus.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We wanted a smaller, lightweight tent and tried this one after seeing positive reviews. We took it camping recently and were very happy with it. We went with just two of us, and it was very roomy. We intend on using it for 3 people next time. It's easy to set up and pack up. It's very light and compact.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tent not only looks so cool, but also super easy to set up! Everything is color coded and so thoughtful. I love this tent so much.

I’ve had this tent for 3 1/2 years and it has been great. Only lately has there been problems. The pivot on the poles broke, so now I have two separate poles. It now leaks where the “cross” seams go over the poles at the head and foot. The floor has multiple, tiny holes and yes, I always use the foot print. Maybe I’m expecting too much, but a well taken care of tent shoul,d last longer, in my opinion. Probably the only way I’ll buy another one is if there is another 50% off sale.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good. I've used it once. I didn't really test its water resistance. We had a lot of rain on the days I was out, but I put a tarp over it. So it didn't leak, but again, I didn't really want to find out how waterproof it is. Otherwise, it's pretty easy to put together. I would say as a 6'4" man that it is not a 3-person tent. It's more like a 2 person tent. I really feel like the number of people that these tents are rated as are over-estimated.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Tungsten 3P tent held up in light rain and heavy wind on a backpacking trip along the west coast. Haven't tried it in heavy rain yet but so far, no condensation drips into the tent so that's a good sign. Also it packs down pretty light. Would recommend purchasing 4 additional stakes since this tent comes with 4 guy lines and no stakes for them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this tent! Setup was a breeze—even solo—and it held up perfectly during a chilly night in the woods. Super cozy, durable, and exactly what I needed for a peaceful outdoor escape. Highly recommend for any camping adventure!
