Relax in the outdoors without breaking your back to get there - the Marmot Aeros 3P tent uses featherlight materials and nearly vertical side walls to create a backcountry living space you can actually live in. Pack this tent into your pack for an overnight bicycle excursion to the local campground or a weeklong assault on a hundred-mile trail. Either way, the Aeros has the room.

Features:

  • Keep the spring humidity and fall frost at bay with the silicone and polyurethane coated nylon floor and fly
  • Keep water where it belongs - outside. The cantinary-cut floor and no-drip walls ensure your living space stays dry
  • Pack only as much weight as you absolutely have to - the Bare-Bones setup strips the weight down to the minimum
  • Set up quickly and easily using the DAC featherlight knee poles that hold the sidewalls nearly vertical
  • Stare out into the stars and air out your boots without inviting in the mosquitoes thanks to the No-Seeum-Net canopy

Dual doors provide easy access for you and your two camping partners, and the twin vestibules let you store your packs and boots out of the rain. Marmot used dual-diameter DAC NSL poles to reduce the Aeros Tent's weight and still make it strong enough to withstand nasty storms. You can also use the fly in conjunction with the footprint (available separately) to create an ultralight shelter for trips where you want to shave every possible ounce.

Aeros 3P Used For Moto Camping

Rating:*****

I use the Aeros 3P for moto camping off my motorcycle, so while my needs are the same as a backpacker or hiker, my priorities are a a bit different. Set up is quick and straight forward; wonderfully simple. Ventilation is excellent!! Pack size is only Ok. The folded pole lengths are 20 to 21 inches, tent and rain fly can be folded to not exceed that. That length is too long to fit inside my panniers, instead, it goes into a water proof Granite Gear roll top bag (large) to be strapped onto the tail. Pack weight isn't that big of a deal for me. The USABLE interior floor space is HUGE!!! That is a MAJOR plus if I'm unloading the bike into the tent and staying for few days, or laying out wet gear to dry (goes back to excellent ventilation) Interior height is also HUGE!! MUCH room to move around in, even with a gear loft. Near vertical sidewalls add to usable interior space. Not to knock a proper foot print, but a 6x8 tarp works just as well for this tent, but probably adds weight and pack bulk. Excellent tent.... I HIGHLY recomend for moto camping.

Great Tent

Rating:*****

Easy to set up. Zippers never get caught, and don't make any noise. Vestibule rolls up nicely and looks like a high-tech curtain. We were camping on the Olympic coast and used one vestibule for almost all of our stuff (the rest fit comfortably inside) and we left the other vestibule rolled up the entire time. Even when it rained we didn't get wet because there is enough coverage (from normal rain) even with the vestibule rolled up. We only had two in this tent, but three would fit easily if you used both vestibules at night. On their site they "suggest" that four might be possible. Maybe if they were midgets, but plenty of room for three. Comes with an uncut guyline and plenty of stakes as well as an aluminum slide-over for a broken pole, and swatches of replacement fabric. You will probably need to get a compression sack though, because the one they send you is too big.

Thanks Marmot

Rating:*****

For 6 lbs this is a killer tent. I bought it instead of the Mutha Hubba and love it. It's bigger, lighter and doesn't have the pole hubs I occasionally hear about breaking.

HUGE for 2 people and gets 3 in comfortably. The bent poles really open up the inside and it goes up very easily. The orange is great for stumbling around at night and the mesh top lets you watch the sunset and see the stars away from the flies.

We haven't had any problems with condensation or under heavy rain.

I've read posts where people complain about the doors being too small, I'm 6'3 and get in and out without any problem. Bought the footprint as well, the fly buckles to the tent base or the footprint, it's a breeze to snap on and pull snug.

U gear hangars too, thanks Marmot.

This tent is lightweight, but huge. Plenty of room for two people, two dogs, and the associated gear. I haven't tried three people, but I imagine that if you leave the dogs at home, it wouldn't be a problem. Even by myself, I can get this tent from the back of the car to fully set up in 5 minutes or less.

I can sit anywhere in the tent. I'm not tall by any means, but I can't usually do this in 2 or 3 man tents. This is great for using the tent as a gathering place during crappy weather. No longer will a lack of sunshine ruin my weekends!

"Five pound cabin"

Rating:*****
I took this bad boy to a local National Forest over the Memorial Day weekend. As with every Marmot tent I've experienced, it was easy, fast and intuitive to set up. The first 24 hours were rain free. The next 24 were very wet. If two of you are going to spend 17 hours in a tent, you must have this one. It is CAVERNOUS. Even with the gear loft there was plenty of headroom for sitting up. We put the iPhone in the gear loft and watched videos while reclined. Well ventilated and dry! If you are still undecided, the two doors and roomy vestibules should seal the deal.

"The Bottom Line is, this tent is amazing!"

Rating:*****
I bought this tent on kind of short notice when I didn't really have the money to be purchasing a $370 tent. But I have never regretted the purchase. I've used this tent for everything from backpacking to canoeing in the Boundary Waters to car camping. In torrential rain in Missouri and 65 mph winds in the Mountains. Never had any condensation problems, or leaking when it rains. Amazing tent. Bomb-Proof. Good Value. Oh and love the fact that you can set it up with out the tent and just use the rain fly and footprint, it's great for the summer when you want to go light weight.

My favorite tent so far...

Rating:*****

This is the best tent i have owned to date. It will fit 3 people but i have only had two in it so far. It is really lite for it's size and have tons of room. The vestibules are very roomy as well. my wife took this camping with some friends of hers and managed to fit a queen size blow up mattress inside it...not my style but it did work just in case you feel like carrying an extra 25 lbs while backpacking.

It's your call.

I own and use both the MSR Mutha Hubba and the Marmot Aeros 3P. They are both great tents each with its own pros and cons.

The Aeros 3P is the roomier of the two and definitely good for three people. Its set up, however, especially attaching the rain fly, is more complex, complicated, and time consuming.

The Mutha Hubba is a snap to set up, especially in a storm, bomb proof in high winds, but more of a deluxe two-person tent.

"Great Great Great"

Rating:*****
This is the best tent I have every owned. It is light weight but still provides a large sleeping platform, whether I am camping with my gf and two dogs or on a weekend trek with friends. I particularly enjoy the wide corners and the quick set up. This is a great tent and I recommend it to anyone to who is searching for a medium size tent for anything from overnights to extended expeditions.

"Ultralight on weight but not on strenght. Great buy."

Rating:*****
With the fly on this ultralight handled five nights of 50 mph Patagonian winds in late April. The tent is light enough for one person to carry. We experienced zero condensation on the inside. Setup and pack time is very quick. Great ventilation due to all the mesh. Plenty of head and arm room for three 6 footers. I am very happy I bought from Marmot.
