Marmot Mantis Plus 3 Person Dome Tent Review

The Mantis Plus 3 has one door and a maximum center height of 5' 1, which is a tiny bit more than the average height of the 139 various 3 person tents we have studied. With 47 square feet of room inside, it is a little bit smaller than some other 3-person tents, and it could be a little tight for you and, up to two other campers during the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents similar to this one generally make a really good choice for campers who enjoy spending lots of hours outside their tent getting some air.

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

Dome tents are without a doubt the most common of all the different types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in bad weather than other types, allowing water to easily slide off the sloped sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the rain pooling on the top of the tent. The most basic dome tent will have a rectangular floor, slanted walls two or more poles which converge in the center of the roof. Due to the way they are made, it is generally thought of that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

Down below, you can find a list of the tent's strongest and weakest points.

PROS

1. Plenty of Headroom. With 7% more headroom than similar size tents, one can easily count this as a plus.
2. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Affords you a place to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big 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 gear.
4. Durable, water-resistant floor. The floor material is 68D Polyester Taffeta 190T F/R, which is a substantially thick and high-strength fabric. Meaning the base is not prone to tears and punctures. Also, the material has a 2000 mm waterproofing rating, which is very good for most circumstances.
5. Other sizes are available. Marmot has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
6. Low price. It is a great buy for a 3 person dome tent providing this much space. Not a lot of tents available on the market provide this level of quality for only $257

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 47 square feet, the Mantis Plus 3 is smaller than quite a few of the 139 other 3 person tents we have looked at.
2. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of 68D Polyester Taffeta 190T F/R but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
3. A tad heavy for backpacking. Even though the Mantis Plus 3, looks like a small tent, it is not ideal for backpacking as it weighs 7 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
4. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many things to be positive about. The sloping walls do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
