Marmot Tungsten 2 Person Dome Tent Review

The Tungsten 2 has two doors and a peak center height of 3' 6, which is a little bit less than the average height of the 204 other 2 person tents we have examined With 32 square feet of space inside, it is a little bit smaller than some other 2-person tents, and it could be a little cramped for you and, another camper during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents like this one generally make a very good choice for people who enjoy spending plenty of time outside their tent getting some air.

Many of the great points about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part light, making them easy to carry around. In near 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 suggested.

Dome tents are easily the most commonly seen of all the different sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to do better in the rain 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 of the tent. The simplest dome tent should have a square footprint, slanted walls two or more poles which cross in the center of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is typically thought of that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 people.

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 floor with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Gives you somewhere to store shoes and other items 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 things.
4. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is easier 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 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 pretty good for most circumstances.
6. Includes FootPrint. It is not often we see a footprint included with the tent. It is suggested to always use a footprint, so not having to buy one is a plus.
7. 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.
8. 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 1500mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy rain.
9. Other sizes are available. Marmot has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
10. Low price. It is a great deal for a 2 person dome tent that provides this much room. Not a lot of tents available on the market give this level of quality for only $249

CONS
