just came back from a 6 night backpacking Colorado trip and it rained every day hard. mine had no issues no condensation it was perfect.. I used the footprint and made sure the fly had tension. my only complaint is the pockets inside are about worthless flimsy and there's no top hook
Just bought this tent and it looks solid however, it does not weigh 2lbs 4oz it weighs 2lbs 7oz, and with the ground tarp included it weighs 3lbs 1.5oz still pretty light but the claimed weight is wrong, atleast on mine.
I have this tent, I love this tent! I do however have the condensation issues where the Rainfly sticks to the inner tent. I have always lazily pitched it without the guylines on the fly itself, but maybe they're pretty much mandatory. haven't tried it out yet, do you have any knowledge to pass on about this? Great review by the way!
I live in Canada and got mine from valhalla pure vpo.ca/product/325845/superalloy-2p?affiliateID=10089&gclid=Cj0KCQiA0-6ABhDMARIsAFVdQv-qgDBse_cmb6oQ82TUTPU0SoueOMrkNLO88UrXHXBP8ANQtGRXEEsaAqGZEALw_wcB
The fact that there is no venting concerns me, as the condensation could potentially be a huge issue on a cold night. What is your experience with the condensation issue? How has the tent held up under heavy rains? Thanks!
For right now I went with a budget friendly option and bought a thick plastic table cloth. It cost around $10 and seems to do the trick until I upgrade to the actually ground sheet for the tent.
Im guessing from your comments this isn't a tent you want to get caught in the rain with? I just bought one on sale and feel like I'm already regretting it lol.
Finally a review that truth tells and that was not bought and paid for.
One of the best reviews I've ever watched. Thanks, Dude.
I don't climb mountains but you made me want to buy this super cool looking tent!! Great video!

the cons might not be a big deal where you live. But to me the cons seem pretty big and outweigh the pros. Good interview thx
Condensation is the killer of this tent in the humid east. V E N T !
Just ordered it. 🤞🏼 thanks for the review!
Great delivery. Nicely done !
Dan Becker also reviewed this tent and compared it to the Big Agnes Tiger Wall 2p.

Hey Chris, I’ll have to double check mine but I took a look at marmots website and it does say the base weight is 2lbs 4 oz
Great review. I have the older marmot force 2p and 3p tents which has a slightly different design and venting. Did you ever get to compare them
?

Hey, To be honest I've never taken the time use the guylines either. I'll try it out let you know how it goes
@@peterolivastri4346 any luck with the guylines?
@@steven4966 He's tangled up in the guylines on a mountaintop hoping one day someone will pass by & rescue him.
I can't find this listed on Marmot's home page (or anywhere else!).

What is your experience with the condensation issue?
How has the tent held up under heavy rains?
Thanks!
I think the no venting is the biggest reason to NOT buy this tent. I’d rather carry another pound and be dry in the morning.
What do you use for the ground sheet/ foot print?
