Bruce 2Keys's Review of Marmot Tungsten UL Tent - 1 Person

This is a great tent ! Other manufacturers make great tents as well, but the style and colors of this tent makes it stand out over others. The simplicity of it's design and ease of set up is a good reason for purchasing this tent.The two pole configuration ( X- design ) with "Easy Pitch" clips keep to the basic tradition of free standing tents, not like other tents that may use just one pole or one pole split to form a ' Y' configuration which makes for a more complicated set up. Plenty of room for one person with ample head space for sitting up and a vestibule to store a backpack or other gear. Though it is free standing, it does need to be staked down and guy lined out to withstand any breeze and wind. Rain is no problem as the bath tub floor is high enough to keep the wet out and plenty of ventilation to prevent condensation, there is even a small roof vent to add air flow that can be closed if needed. I use this tent for Bikepacking due to it's light weight and easy of set up. The only down fall is that Marmot does not include a floor saver or the option to purchase one. That was no problem as I made one from a piece of Tyvek Material. I'm very happy with my purchase of this tent from Campsaver. If you're in market for a ultralite 1 person tent, do some research with other tents and compare it to the Marmot Tungsten 1P Ultralite. You might see that it's a winner.
