Great Tent - sleeps 2 med build comfy By mosesnbklyn from Brooklyn, NY on 09/01/2008 Pros: Easy To Set Up, Fly Works Well, Lightweight, Sturdy, Waterproof Cons: Provide your own mattress Best Uses: Backpacking, Beach, Best used on grass, Hiking Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Got the tent for a weekend trip to the delaware water gap. It was easy to setup in the dark, kept us and our gear dry with the fly (unlike some of our friends), and is very lightweight. The materials seem high quality uncluding the zippers and rods. Barely used any stakes. Unfortunately the ground was rocky onsite, and the tarp we used underneath wasnt comfy enough, so I was forced to make a last minute trip to [...]. It was cozy for 2 people medium build with light gear (car camping), I dont think it can fit 3 adults - maybe scouts.

No footprint but I bought a Sierra Designs Papagayo footprint instead that is a little bit oversized. You can use the sides of this footprint to create a floor in your vestibules as well and it works pretty slick. Using an online coupon - I scored this tent for less than [$].

Excellent product for the price By Harr the Bear from Houston, TX on 07/20/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Easy to set up, Fly Works Well, Sturdy, Waterproof Best Uses: Backpacking, Hiking Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Comments: Took to colorado for a week where it rained every afternoon but stayed dry in the tent. A little condensation in the mornings though.

Fantastic tent with one minor drawback.. By Mekkon from Pittsburgh, Pa on 07/09/2008 Pros: Easy to set up, Lightweight Best Uses: Backpacking, Car Camping, Hiking Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Not as pictured, but a very nice tent nonetheless. The actual tent has an additional small pole that cantilevers over the top to hold the sides out, thus making the interior much roomier. (without adding much weight)
However the doors are a real downer - they're not as pictured either. They are basically half-circle shaped, with the flat side at the bottom. The problem is that there is just one continuous zipper around the curve, and none across the bottom. This is a minor drawback, but it means that you actually have to zip the door quite far open before you can begin getting in or out - a clumsy design sure to let in any bugs that are looking for a free meal.
That said, it is a great tent, and a spectacular one at such a reasonable price. The construction, although Made in China, looks very good, with attention to detail and very nicely taped and sealed seams. The clips that attach the tent to the poles are plastic, so I have some concerns about their longevity, but this is coming from someone who has only ever owned continuous sleeve tents.
The best feature for sure is that the walls are mesh, so condensation isn't a problem, and it makes for fantastic fair-weather stargazing. (although not very private if in a campground!) One other thing worth noting was the lack of directions. Although I'm not a good direction-follower anyway, there really weren't any at all, aside from "set up tent." And oddly the tent doesn't appear on Marmot's website. strange. On the up side, the included stakes are nice, with a hexagonal cross section and anodized orange.
Overall a great find. I'd been casually looking to replace our tent for the past year, and this seemed like the perfect fit. Great tent, roomier than our old two-person (now fits me, wife, & dog plus our gear...). Also I was well impressed to find such a quality name at this price - Marmot stuff is fantastic - even after the buyout by K2. I'd highly recommend this tent to anyone, and if the doors only had a zipper on the bottom as well, I'd give it 5 stars.
