I love this tent and got it right before a recent backpacking trip. I set it up and made sure everything was there before a recent trip. Everything was packed well and in its packaging. When I got to my destination and set the tent up I noticed that there were multiple snags on the mesh part of the tent on door side but not near the door. Really disappointed as this wasn’t an inexpensive purchase. Would expect it to be in great condition for the first use.

Really light and easy to put on

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a small but spacious enough tent that has two layers, which is good to avoid condensation. The tent is freestanding, which is great for a long trip. I can really recommend it for solo trave

Marmot tungsten 1p ul and wind

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Marmot tungsten 1p UL is a good and ideal tent in terms of interior space and weight. It is easy to set up.But it has a serious problem. It is not resistant to strong wind at all.

Great tent! Lightweight and secure! The fly is a little hard with the velcro loops.

High expectations …

This review is based on an in-house inspection of my new purchase, not actual field use. Easy set up features. Unit offers much better ventilation than my three pound BD single skin tent at the same weight. I would just note that it would be wise to use all 10 stake-out points on this shelter for maximum stability in windy conditions. I found that the additional guy lines needed bring the total weight up to three pounds. I think this a better alternative to a bivy sack in warmer conditions for only a slight increase in weight. I’ll be taking it for its first test-drive this fall in the Tetons.

Exceeded expectation

Perfect for bikepacking, light weight and super packable. So much better than my old tent.

Great in a Downpour

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first time I got to use this tent was in a serious downpour that hit Black Moshannon State Park. I was there for a class on tracking for search and rescue. While this wasn't really a backpacking trip, I was obviously impressed by the weight. This little tent kept me dry all night. The vestibule area was big enough for me to put my Helinox chair with some gear on it. Gear and chair stayed dry as well. I love this tent!

Perfect lightweight waterproof tent.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tent is ultralightweight, waterproof, and comfortable. I even managed to squeeze a friend in it once. I don’t recommend doing that 😉 But I’ve used this tent in multiple national parks, through all sorts of weather and I couldn’t be happier!

Light and Reliable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tent is simple, light, and easy to set up. I used it on a 4 night backpacking trip and it was great. It packs small and kept my pack light. The bivy door had plenty of space for my pack and gear, and the tent felt spacious when inside. My only complaint is that even with a Tyvex footprint, I ended up getting a hole in the floor material. It is ultralight material, so I tried to be careful with it, so keep that in mind, you need be careful to keep the tent from getting too beat up.

best tent for sleeping on the floor in the woods

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this tent! Got it to replace an aging non-UL Tungsten 1p. The overall size/dimensions are a perfect balance between small/light pack-ability, but some actual livability (the poles fit in the frame bag on my size Large Karate Monkey too!) Given how poorly I sleep when I camp these days, it's fun to have a nice place to hang out while I spend most of the night wide awake. Plenty of room in the vestibule as well for making coffee-in-bed, or whatever else. On top of that, Marmot offers it in a spicy, yet subtle colorway that tips the scale from tolerable to full-on enjoyable! I'll likely also snag the 2p version for times when my partner wants to join. This is one of those rare products that truly checks all the boxes.
