Marmot Tungsten Tent

The Hatchback feature refers to the oversized rear vestibule that can be propped open with trekking poles to create a shaded awning. It significantly expands your living space and airflow, making it much more comfortable to hang out in the tent during the day or during light rain.

Like most '3-person' backpacking tents, it is a tight squeeze for three adults. It is best suited for two adults who want extra gear storage space or a couple with a small child or pet.

The tent uses a lightweight, pre-bent pole structure that provides decent stability, but as an ultralight tent, it is not designed for high-alpine storms. Always ensure you are using all guy-out points and staking it down properly to maximize its wind resistance.

Yes, the color-coded poles and clips make it very straightforward to set up alone. You can easily assemble the frame and attach the tent body in under five minutes once you have practiced it a few times.

No, the footprint is typically sold separately. Given the lightweight materials used in the floor, using a footprint or a piece of Tyvek is highly recommended to protect the tent floor from punctures and abrasion.

The tent features a significant amount of mesh on the canopy, which does an excellent job of preventing condensation buildup. When paired with the Hatchback awning, you get exceptional cross-ventilation compared to traditional closed-wall designs.
