Thanks to the Marmot Aeolos Tent’s vertical corner pole sections, tall hikers get a true 90 inches of room to stretch out after a long day on the trail. In addition to its spacious dimensions, this two-person tent feature two top poles that help maximize headroom for those tent-bound rainy days. Two doors and two vestibules give each person his or her own exit and storage space, and the tent can be set up with just the fly, poles, and footprint for an ultralight summer shelter.

God of Wind

Rating:*****

That's who Aeolos is. This tent is super sturdy and roomy for it's weight. Lots of head space and plenty long for me at 6'0 and plenty wide for 2 adults. Sleeves make set up easy for 1 person and the clips are easy to attach. Lots of mesh and fly vents you can access from inside the tent keep it cool. One big vestibule and a second storage space gives you room to keep your stuff by your door. Fly clips into place. Poles are light and strong. Great tent if you want one strong enough to take higher in the mountains when it might snow and light enough to carry on your own and fits 2 adults comfortably.

Strong, Sturdy, Pure Satisfaction

Rating:*****

This tent has it all when it comes to strength in high winds, comfort on just about any surface and most importantly its light. This is a dream to carry and it fits two people plus gear like no other 2 person tent I've had before. Two vestibules give you so much more room! Adjustable side venting and rain fly option give you a very customizable tent that can handle cold nights and hot days like a champ. Life wouldn't be the same with the Aeolos 2P in my pack.

P.S. When you buy it here be sure to spring for the footprint and gear loft. You can thank me later. Happy Tails!

"This tent is beautiful"

Rating:****
Have used this tent on numerous week long backpacking trips and it rocks. I love the bent poles that give you tons of room inside. Four grown men can easily sit inside on a rainy day. The only reason I gave it a 4 is because the fly can be a little funny to set up and doesn't stay rolled up very well. I have used this tent once in the winter as well and it worked great. This tent is a beauty.

Wont let you down

Rating:****

This tent is where its at. Its super light and super durable. Its a good sized 2 person tent especially with the vertical sidewall construction. The duel vestebule is great, giving you the option for dual entry or using one side for storage of gear so it doesnt get in your way. Over all this tent is great, fairly light so not to bad to carry into the woods with you if need be, get one!

"Wanna stay dry? Get this tent."

Rating:*****
I was using my Dad's old Black Diamond tent until after 20 years of service, it finally died. RIP Good Friend. Then I went through tent after tent, rain storm after rain storm and got tired of getting soaked. Lots of research and and several field tests later, this is hands down the best tent I've ever owned.

Great tent. Easy set up and take down. Haven't used it in in any extreme conditions but easily sleeps two adults and two dogs.

Almost Marmot Quality

Rating:***

This is the first marmot product I owned that I don't love with 100% of my heart. One reason being that the fly droops over the door and touches the netting. I had the tent guyed out perfectly and still no luck. Fortunatly it didn't seem to cause any problems. Yes, if you wiggle the tent hard, condensation will drip from the fly through the netting but the same thing would happen if the fly wasn't touching the netting. I suppose I could say that the tent is a tad shorter than I expected (i'm 6'3) compared to all of the head room in there, it is huge inside. I felt like a king in a castle when I used it on a solo trip. The tent is extremely sturdy when fully guyed out and it is insanely easy to set up. One last negative though, with such a big comfy tent I expected the vestibule to be bigger. 3 stars because I hold marmot to higher standards. UPDATE - Getting in and out of the tent during (and after) a down pour is a very wet process because it is almost impossible to get out without jiggling rain off of the top onto your body. However, I broke the first rule of setting up a tent and set it up where water pooled to about 1.5 inches and the bottom of the tent was like a waterbed but not one drop leeked through.
