The unique pole configuration saves weight and creates a 'Drip FREE Zone' in front of each door so the tent won't get wet as you enter or exit in the rain. The ultralight SilNylon fly gives full coverage and provides a generous vestibule off each door for gear storage.

Great Tent
I use this as my primary summer camping tent. It's a great tent when your not worried to much about the cold. It's all mesh design is nice when you want to escape the bugs but keep your view. The fly has worked well for me and the colors are uplifting when your camped out in the grey drizzle.
I have had this tent for over four years and it still looks new. I decided to buy it over a nice Black Diamond tent after pitching both and realizing how much roomier the Marmot was. Plenty of room lengthwise, whereas other tents have you touching your head and toes on the walls. The vertical pole design adds room as well and after some practice it assembles and pitches fairly quick.
The downfalls are only when it comes to things it's not really meant for. Wind can penetrate under the fly under certain conditions and it's not going to hold a lot of heat being that it's an all mesh body. If you want to dabble in the fourth season than this probably isn't the tent to try it with.

2P big enough for 4P in survival mode
This is an awesome tent! The ceiling is very high and instantly becomes the party tent of the group. During my last trip my friend's tent failed and we had to sleep 4 guys in a 2 man tent. This tent is so spacious we were able to accomplish it by sleeping in fetal position.
It takes less than a few minutes to set up and is very solid. I didn't notice any visible condensation but it may have become a little damp. The only thing I'm disappointed in is that it packs up a little large. But at 2kg its not that bad!!

Biggest area per pound
Spent way too long researching tents for size, weight, durability, mesh area. Did not care about cost. This tent was the winner. I'm 6ft, head and toes don't touch ends. Sit up room excellent. Wide enough for me and 2-12yr olds. Hammered in rain for hours, with 90% humidity, 95F, doors open, not a drop. Vestibule big enough for packs. Stuff sack large for packing wet tent. Set instructions need help (longest poll attach to red tabbed corners and pole hubs smooth side face up) Only con, zippers catch (4 of 5). Really happy with purchase.
Maximizes Room With Little Weight
This tent is the greatesti have ever used. It is light, easy to set up, roomy, does not collect condensation, and withstands heavy rain and wind. I went camping with my girlfriend and was easily able to set it up in the dark with only one time setting it up before. It also thunderstormed that night. I wouldn't have slept better in my house. It was comfy and the two vestibules allow you not to disturb your neighbor in the middle of the night when nature calls.
nice tent
easy to set up. very good construction. the ground floor is very light so I will need a foot print. otherwise this tent is easy to set up even if there are three rodes. in 5 minutes I reach to set up the tent without troubles. the two entrences are a mustwith two places to put backpack and shoes. style of the rode give a lot of space inside the tente and I have not the head in the abside even if I am 165 inches....
Love my Tent
This tent is great. Super lightweight, and contrary to some of the reviews I read, it is very easy to set up. This is my first small tent and it does take some getting use to the small quarters, but I just love the ease of set up. Great for backpackers seeking a lightweight tent.
Love it.
My son and I took this into Washinton's Alpine Lakes area and ended up getting caught in a downpour. We stayed dry all night in the tent, though, and didn't have any problems with condensation. For the price, I only wish it would have included a footprint. Otherwise, I'm very happy.
