Marmot Tungsten 1 Person Dome Tent Review

The Tungsten 1 has one door and a maximum center height of 3' 2, which is a little bit less than the average height of the 68 other 1 person tents we have examined With 20 square feet of room inside, it is considerably smaller than some other 1-person tents, and it would be quite tight for you all through the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents like this one can make a good choice for campers that enjoy spending plenty of time outside their tent getting some air.

Some of the fantastic points about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking lightweight, making them simple to carry. In nearly all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very easy to set up. In calm weather, you could do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most common of all the different sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to do better in the rain than other types, allowing water to easily slide off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, allowing the rain to pool on the top of the tent. The most basic dome tent should have a square footprint, sloped sides two or more poles which converge in the center of the roof. Due to the way they are made, it is typically considered that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Tungsten 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. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Offers you somewhere 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 stuff.
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 rips and punctures. Also, the material has a 2000 mm waterproofing rating, which is very good for most circumstances.
5. Includes FootPrint. It is quite rare to see a footprint included with a tent. It is suggested to always use a footprint, so not having to buy one is a bonus.
6. Breathable. The Tungsten's interior uses a mesh fabric on the inside of the tent, and this helps maximize the flow of air. With the extra ventilation, and this tent is great for use in the warmer months.
7. The rainfly completely covers the tent body. The rainfly covers the whole body of the tent from the top to the bottom and has a waterproof rating of 1500mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy downpours.
8. Other sizes are available. Marmot has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
9. Low price. It is a great deal for a 1 person dome tent that provides this much space. Not a lot of tents available on the market provide this level of quality for only $193

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 20 square feet, the Tungsten 1 is smaller than quite a few of the 68 other 1 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 6% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative thing for some people.
3. 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.

Value for money: When thinking about value for money, this tent is a cheaper than the normal price of all the one hundred and six, one-person tents we have looked at, this itself does not make it awesome value for money. One should also look at other things in detail, as we do with every tent.
