Marmot Halo 4 Person 2018 Dome Tent Review

The Halo 4 2018 has two doors and a maximum center height of 4' 11, which is a tiny bit smaller than the average height of the 134 other 4 person tents we have studied. With 64 square feet of space inside, it is a tiny bit smaller than some other 4-person tents, and it could be a little tight for you and, up to three other campers all through the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents similar to this one can generally make a fantastic choice for campers that welcome spending lots of hours outside of their tent exploring.

A few of the cool things about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part lightweight, making them simple to carry. In most all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In calm weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are the most commonly seen of all the other types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to fair better in bad weather than other types, allowing rain to roll off the sloped sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, resulting in the rain pooling on the top. The most basic dome tent will have a rectangular footprint, sloped walls two or more poles which converge in the middle of the roof. Due to their construction, it is generally considered that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 people.

Down below, you can see an account of the tent's strongest and weakest points.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Halo 2018 can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not need to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the ground with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Affords you somewhere to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
3. Internal storage. It is good to see Marmot has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your stuff.
4. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is simpler to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.
5. Durable, water-resistant floor. The floor material is 150d 100% Polyester Oxford, which is a substantially thick and high-strength fabric. Meaning the base is not prone to tears and punctures. Also, the material has a 3000 mm waterproofing rating, which is very good for most circumstances.
6. The rainfly completely covers the tent body. The rainfly covers the entire body of the tent from the top to the bottom and has a waterproof rating of 1800mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy rain.
7. Available in other sizes. Marmot has also made this model available in Other Sizes.

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 64 square feet, the Halo 4 is smaller than quite a lot of the 134 other 4 person tents we have looked at.
2. No windows. With no windows it is not simple to keep the tent cool on a hot summers night.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one sold separately specifically for the Halo 4 footprint Even though the floor may be made of 150d 100% Polyester Oxford, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
4. A tad heavy for backpacking. Even though the Halo 4, looks like a small tent, it is not probably the best choice for backpacking as it weighs 13 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
5. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many qualities to be positive about. The sloping walls do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
