Marmot Tungsten 4-Person Tent

I set up this tent but have not used it outdoors yet. It is a good size and the extra poles create walls that are almost vertical, so there is a lot of useable space inside. Headroom is good too. The vestibules are massive for storing a wet pack and shoes. 2 separate doors and equal sized vestibules on boh sides. So getting in and out is easy without having to crawl over late sleepers. There is ample space for 2 adults, perfect for 3 adults (or 2 adults + one dog), or 2 adults with 2 young kids. The materials appear to be durable. The floor/tub is rated at 2,000mm rain water-pessure and the fly cover is rated at 1,500mm, which is decent. The poles are lightweight but overall the tent is a bit heavy at 8 lbs plus amost 1 lb more for the ground sheet (which protects the floor from stones and branches that could puncture the floor). The only other tent that is comparle is Big Agnes Blacktail 4 (more expensive with smaller vestibules). All other tents at this price are smaller (and lighter). Set-up is easy once you figure it out. The instructions are next to useless. Overall this tent is a great value. I owned Eureka tents in the past and this Marmot is just as good or better. I owned my Eureka for 20 years and logged in over 50 trips, so I'm looking forward to 50 more trips with this tent.

We were looking for a car camping tent that had more headroom and easier exit than our backcountry tent. This fits our MEC reactor air mattress with 2 ft. on either side for bags. Roomy vestibules. Fly is abit loose, so needs to be staked down with tie downs . Has a seam on the floor that might be a problem if it leaks . Easy to set up by two and even one person

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So easy to set up and the material is so durable. Dual door entry rocks!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The tent is compact and light. Nylon tabs which retain the poles could be stronger. Can't wait to test it out to see how dry it stays in the rains.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this tent a lot. I appreciate that I do not have to fish the poles through fabric. I can just hook the clips to the poles and snap the rain fly. It is fairly roomy and is truly freestanding. The floor material is a little thin but being careful where you set your tent up and using a ground sheet or tarp helps. I've used this tent in 100+ degree weather and freezing cold weather. It ventilates well and keeps the rain out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a great tent. Held up very well since the last couple years. Looks and feels very premium. Very easy to set up too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used a Marmot Tungsten 4 person tent for a few years now. It's been through very heavy downpours, mud, and many less than ideal conditions.... the tent has taken everything thrown at it and come out Great. After a few years it is sagging just a bit but still sets up reasonably tight. The "bathtub" constructed bottom is excellent to keep out water infiltration. This tent may not be ideal for backpacking due to weight.

I really like the tent; I've only used it once so far - a week of camping in Voyageurs National Park. Having switched from a classic high ceiling dome tent, the reduced height has been a bit of a adjustment challenge. I love the small vestibule entry areas. It's easy to set up for the most part, but it gets a bit tedious when you have to attach the Velcro strips on the inside of the rain fly around the poles. Also, the instructions for setting up the tent are 8-10 wordless drawings which left me figuring some of the set-up on my own. Wish the instructions would have been clearer about how the larger hooks/clips attach near/at the top of the tent and how they interact with the red poles. Searched for a good set-up video on YouTube and found none.
