Why We Like The Tungsten UL Tent
There's no better place to catch up than the trail, so whether we're heading off for a weekend backpacking trip with the family or a longer excursion with old friends, we pack along this tent for roomy sleep space that won't weigh us down. Its ultralight construction doesn't add significant weight so we don't have to squabble about whose turn it is to carry the tent. And when it comes time to go to sleep we all have enough room to snooze peacefully.

My go to
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Marmot has amazing customer service. I had an issue and they replaced the well used tent at no cost. This is my favorite 3 season tent - and I own 4 others from high-end manufacturers. Well thought-out, large, fast setup, durable in wind (used in ~50mph). It's my go to below tree line.

So far so good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have only used it 3 times but so far so good. Seems tough and it kept the water out. It did well in strong winds. We haven’t backpacked with it yet. My girlfriend, two dogs (60 and 80 lbs), and me (6’1” 200 lbs) all fit inside comfortably.

Perfect tent for backpacking
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this tent for backpack camping. Its for two of us. My husband is over 6 feet so we were worried about getting too small of a tent. The tent is perfect for the two of us plus our gear or our dog. Its lightweight and wasy to split the load.

Rating a Tent I have not used...yet
It's Certainly a light weight tent and big enough for two plus some gear. it's a bug net with floor and two doors and a fly. I just got it and it's too cold to use till next year. I did set it up and it's definitely put together well. If weight is your biggest concern I don't know how they can make it any lighter. The seams are taped, the zippers work good, it's New! Hope I can add to this after I have used it.

Very light, spacious, well designed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Still new to this tent, but it performed well on the first two outings. It is very light. Excellent room for two and still within a reasonable backpacking weight budget. I purchased the footprint and recommend you do too. We split up with 42oz for the body and fly and 34.5oz for the poles, footprint, stakes, guy cord and repair kit. Fly pitches tightly if you stake out the side between the doors. The vents are a nice feature however I deducted one star because the reinforcement patch on one of them had unraveling stitches on the second setup. I will send it in for warranty repair, which I'm sure Marmot will support, but if the repair lead time is long I may fix this myself. The green strikes me as an odd color - almost faded in the pictures, but in the field it's a pleasant color that blends in well with surroundings without being impossible to see. The fly has bits of reflective material that serve well to guide you back from a late-night bio break. Zippers are fine gauge and somewhat fiddly but I had no problem when the tent is pitched tautly. Setup is quite easy, although I'd strongly prefer if the two main poles were permanently joined at the intersection. The pole clips seem functional but I expect they would break if I accidentally stepped on one I have not yet had it out in the rain, but with the fly pitched fully taut I see no reason to get wet inside. The seam sealing appears to be good quality. It has ample ventilation with the full mesh tent body.

Make the Change to Ultralight!!
Backpacking game changer. Don't get me wrong, I still love my Tungsten... but this will be the tent coming with me for long overnights. The weight is insane, & the parts still feel durable. I purchased the 3 person, but typically only use it for 2 people. It's BIG & spacious, which I love. If you want to save a tiiiiny bit of weight, the 2 person is great too. But I personally love more room to sprawl out in a tent!

Ideal Backpacking Tent
This tent is absolutely fantastic. It is incredibly light, well-built, easy to set-up, and packs small. It is just what I was looking for in a well-designed backpacking tent.

Great tent
I’ve used this tent in multiple occasions but the one that stands out the most was waking up from a night of downpour and have literally a river running under my tent. No exaggerating here. It kept all my things inside dry, i mean, hows that possible with the amount of water? I’m not saying you should be out camping during downpours but if you do, you’ll keep yourself dry with this one.

Excellent Camping Tent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this tent based on its simplicity and features and I'm very happy with it. From a simplicity and features standpoint, I was looking for a tent that was a combination of quick and easy to set up and had a simple pole structure system. I do a lot of camping with my Scout troop and our camping trips usually include setting up a tent in the dark with a number of other busy campers. Many of the tents of the market have pole structures that are complex and could easily get stepped on while you are trying to set them up. As for this tent, it has two main poles that form an X which go right in the grommets on the 4 quarters. I also like that the tent has hooks vs sleeves that connect the tent body to the support poles. The tent also has a door on each side which allows ones tent buddies to go out the other side without waking you up by having to climb over you. All in all, this is a great tent for a quick 15 minute set up at night.

The unicorn. Roomy, protected, airy, and LIGHT
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife, dog, and I love this tent for backpacking, car camping, and everything else that allows us to escape. Very easy to assemble and breakdown. The weight is so light, it's very hard to believe it's a 3P tent, but the space is wide open! Durability is top notch as well.

What are the floor dimensions of this tent? (and just as importantly, why isn't this information readily available in the Specifications section?)

Will the Marmot Tungsten UL Hatchback Fly 2P fit over the Marmot Tungsten UL 3P tent? The Marmot Tungsten UL Hatchback Fly 2P advertising attached to the product under features states 'Fits on your Tungsten UL 2P/3P tent'.
