I've been looking at this tent for over a year now, the standard version instead of the ultra light. No matter how many others I research I keep coming back to this one. I have watched what seems like a hundred reviews on these tents, which for the most part everyone seems to agree it's a well made economical tent. I must say though, your review of this tent is really well done! You addressed almost everything to a tee. When you finally got to the part of telling what you didn't like about it, I was thinking here it comes, then you said nothing! I think now my search is over, time to pull the trigger! Marmot is offering for Memorial Day week 25% off site wide. So the standard version regularly sells for $214, I can buy for $160, I'm placing my order tomorrow. Your review also got you a new subscriber, Thanks so much, Happy Trails!
I'm so glad you found my review helpful! That's the whole reason I did it. I had trouble finding the info I was looking for with this tent and was hoping to help others. Sounds like you found a really good deal on it. Enjoy!
I have this tent. It is a great tent, even for just yourself. Which is what I do. It is plenty roomy inside, very affordable and well built. And very light for a two man tent. And good color for stealth camping.
Just bought it. Supposed to be delivered this week. Can't wait to get out with it. Thanks for the great review and tips here. Especially the pole repair splint taped to a pole. I honestly wouldn't have thought of that and almost certainly would end up losing the splint!
Ive been eyeing the tungsten ul 2p for awhile now and I think this review pretty well sold it. It's definitely difficult to fork out 5-6 bills for another freestanding only 1lb or a few ounces lighter and I couldn't do a trekking pole tent. The whole thought of waking up soaking alongside your gear in an actual bathtub isn't my idea of an enjoyable experience ( nor paying that kinda money for the wrong kinda spa day) lol. Can't wait to get this thing on the trail! Thank you!! Enjoy your hike! ☺️
I really do love this tent. So many people lay out some big money for a lighter, more fragile tent. I really don't mind carrying a little more weight in exchange for durability and comfort and I sure don't want to feel like I've purchased the "wrong kind of spa day." LOL!
Thanks for sharing, I recently bought the same tent. I like your point of views on the vestibule and pole trick with tape and tube. I’ve experienced the same problem with the rain fly.
Thanks for review. Tip Keep 2-4 metal cup screw hooks in your peg back for those times you only have wooden tent platforms to use and it's windy. Or screw them into logs on the ground as extra support.
I absolutely loved my Marmot Tungsten UL 2p tent. So easy to set up and take down, plus so much room for 1 person. I eventually switched to a 1p Nemo to save 1 1/2 lbs.
That's a significant weight savings! I recently purchased a 1 person trekking pole tent for kayak trips and tried it on the Pinhoti. It was ok but sure missed the room of the Marmot.
Thanks for the video, one thing i did with the Tyvek is cut it to size but added triangle shapes for the vestibules with grommets at the points for the tent stake. I left the Tyvek about an inch wider, folded that extra under and applied duct tape to hold it in place
I almost cut out an area for the vestibules but ended up just cutting a small "door mat" I can also use for sitting on during breaks or use when I hammock camp as a floor mat.
Thank you for the clear review on this tent. Those snags that you are getting in the netting may be caused by the velcro tabs. Specifically the sharp corners. With any new tent I first look for and then round off these corners with a scissor. I've had to do this with every tent that I have ever owned except one inexpensive tent. Otherwise those sharp corners are gonna chew up the netting. Happy Trails
Great VIdeo. The double/top zipper on the vestibule doors also allows you to unzip from the top and outside of the rainfly to attach the plastic connectors to the center pole without lifting up the doors.
I have the three person version of this tent and really like it. The floor is a little slick and the rainfly is not symmetric which is slightly annoying for setup. Otherwise it is great and have had no problems with it. I would highly recommend it.
Thanks for the video. Had a Lanshan 1 and just did a 3 state( Massachusetts, New York, and Connecticut) adventure and truly disliked it! Too small for me and was finicky to set up on uneven ground. Plus it was too large to use on a platform unless it was tied way off the sides. Was gonna wait for the Durston x mid 2 but you made such sense about things going wrong with trekking poles. Yes I could save about 1.4 lbs with the Durston but will give this a try.This tent would bring my pack weight to about 22 lbs. Thanks for making my decision easier.
22 lbs is a really good pack weight! I purchased a Lanshan 1 plus last year. It is slightly longer and slightly wider than the original. It's still small, though. I technically bought it for kayak camping but tried it out on the Pinhoti Trail a couple of times. It worked but I do like more room. I tried it in a campground and could hardly get the stakes in the ground. It collapsed by midnight. I won't be taking it on a serious hike!
Thank you so much for this review. I really wanted this tent and I may end up getting it down the road for myself, but it looks like I'll be looking for a 3-person tent instead for me and the gf. I laughed when you were explaining the size "maybe if you live each other..." 😂 I can tell you, we do, but I can foresee the extra room being needed also. Amazing review, loved your 3-year review as well. Had to come back to this one just to get the full story. Absolutely wonderful review. Did I say I liked the review?
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! It's been a great tent. I would definitely go with a 3-person tent for two people. You'll be much happier with the elbow room. I really can't imagine how two people can happily share the space of a 2-person tent regardless of how much they love each other. I have shared it with my dog and even though she's small, she's a floor hog. 😊 Happy trails!
@@MtnWanderer-TieDye- , we're NOT hikers so we stay away from UL however .... living in CA you MUST be prepared to bugout 24/7 with earthquakes - fires & rolling blackouts.
Hi, Awesome video, like others said, it's definitely more informative than others I have seen out there, and I am looking at buying one of these, perhaps locally second hand, but wondering about specs from year to year. Do you happen to know the style number on this tent? the one I am looking at has a tag on the tent with a style number, and curious about if it is the same model year/style as this one in your review. Just curious, and thanks!
Super helpful video! Can you open/close the vents without getting out of the tent? And can you set it up fly first (with or without the custom footprint)?
Thanks for stopping in! I can open and close the vent from inside by reaching around the mesh. It is a little harder but I can do it. I can set it up fly first but only with the tyvek. This tent doesn't have any grommets on the fly corners to place the pole tips in. Without that, the poles just sprawl out. That's why I specifically made the tyvek with loops. I also toyed with the idea of using paracord or some other lightweight string to form an X with loops on all ends to place the pole tips in but the tyvek loops handle it. It's not very often I need to pitch it fly first, thankfully.
Thanks for the review :) I have some questions, thanks in advance if you can assist me.. 1. I'm considering this tent for a year backpacking in South America, where I'll be doing some multi-day hikes/treks in Patagonia and in the Andes. Do you think it would be up to the task? 2. Any issues with stargazing at night time due to the colour of the mesh? 3. Any issues with water/condensation issues due to the fact that there are no stake out points on the end of the rainfly, so the rainfly sometimes sticks to the inner tent?
Thanks for watching and for your questions. This is a great tent that has served me very well for nearly 2,000 miles on various trails. I don't know the trail conditions of Patagonia or Andes but if it's similar to the Appalachian Trail, then it should be fine. I have never star gazed from this tent so I don't have an answer for that but I haven't had trouble seeing lightning bugs through the mesh. I haven't had any real issues with condensation. I generally keep my vents open and the air flow from beneath the doors seems to do a good job at reducing moisture unless I'm pitched on a lush grassy spot, which is rare. I sewed a small loop of ribbon on the head and foot end of the fly as an extra stake out point but rarely ever use it. Could be an option for you if you think you'd need it. I only had one instance where rain got in and it was wicking in through the door tieback ribbon during an all night monsoon. It wasn't anything major but I applied a water based sealer to the ribbon and have had no further issues.
I agree with the "head" and "feet" walls...you cant get it bar tight. They should have had 2 extra peg loops at those mid way points....considering weather to sow them in my self. Even if you apply a bit of stretchy pressure to it, at least it keeps it off the inner....what do you thinK
Thank you for the great review! I'm almost sold on buying this one, the only thing keeping me from it is the colour: I want to camp "in the wild". One day it'll be in a meadow, on other days it might be a somewhere in a quiet spot in the city. How flashy is the wasabi colour in your opinion? Displays are not the best reference to choose colours ;-)
It isn't stealthy but it isn't as bad as my husband's canary yellow tent! I prefer more muted colors but had no choice with this one. It will be easily seen unless you are surrounded by yellowish bushes. The good about that is I can find it in the dark with no trouble. I wish I could post some pictures here so you could see how it looks in the wild. Thanks for watching!
I threw some pictures together of the tent in use and put a link in the description of the review. Hope that helps. Let me know if the link doesn't work.
Nice ASMR presentation. I don't have one, but love Marmot tents. (that is very interesting, 4lbs. Sorry, my My Moss Outland is 5lbs 12oz. (biggish, 1 person) bomb proof. I think the weight is in the poles and pole sleeves.) (you said you had a Mountain Hardware tent? I missed that and closed caption didn't pick it up. Thanks!.)
I betchya if a gal pulled and staked out those corner guy lines, that fly would snug right up and shed weather well? My Moss gets super snug when I place the extra guy lines.
Thank you for watching! I am pleased to report it weathered very well during a long night of major thunderstorms earlier this year. I had never been in a tent in a rain such as this and I was afraid I was going to be soaked by morning but I wasn't! The rains were very heavy and the only water that got through was on the door tie back ribbons that are sewn into the seams. I had a few drips but they hit the netting and ran down and stayed outside of the tent body. It wasn't even enough to be concerned about. Once I got home I saturated the ribbons inside and out with seam sealer to stop the wicking. I've used it several times in a high wind area and it hardly budged and I didn't even use the guy out lines. I have thoroughly loved everything about this tent. I do make sure to retreat it yearly with Nikwax to keep it going strong.
What is the folded length of the folded poles? Planning to pack the tent separately rather than in the included bag, but obviously the poles are the most space demanding when figuring out a packing method. Thanks.
@@MtnWanderer-TieDye- Thanks for the reply, Buying to use for motorcycle camping so just trying to plan my packing strategy, and the poles are obviously the most difficult part due to their rigidity and length. The soft bits can be stuffed anywhere... My current tent's poles are 20-21" so about the same....
I've slept with my 2 people in this tent, yes its snug and your gear stays outside. Just make sure you like who you sleep with because it's close quarters.
I do. I feel that at its price point it will give the most room and the least weight. You can certainly find lighter tents of this size but they cost a great deal more. Going with a free-standing tent over a trekking pole tent for a beginner will make camp setup much more enjoyable. Always practice at home before setting out on a hike. I enjoyed familiarizing myself with it and sleeping in my yard. In fact, I still do that for fun!

This is a 2 person tent and could hold only two pads. It's 54" wide and tapers to 46" at the foot end. The 3 person tent is 66" wide. One pad would have to overlap a little to make that work.
I understand your concern with the plastic clips. So far they've held up with no issue and seem beefy enough. Honestly, I think the mesh or tent fabric would fail before the clips.

Love this review! Do you think 2 adults and 3 yr old could fit? (3 pads, a 20in wide for my 3yr, and 2-25's for my wife and I)
This is a 2 person tent and could hold only two pads. It's 54" wide and tapers to 46" at the foot end. The 3 person tent is 66" wide. One pad would have to overlap a little to make that work.
Never a big fan of plastic clips. I'd rather light weight alloy or aluminium...
Still, a nice looking tent. Just worried about plastic!
I understand your concern with the plastic clips. So far they've held up with no issue and seem beefy enough. Honestly, I think the mesh or tent fabric would fail before the clips. It's a great tent, especially considering it's price point compared to other tents. Thanks for your comment and for watching!
