Roomy, light, and storm-worthy
Everything I wanted in a tent. I use this for backpacking trips with my fiance and golden retriever. For its very modest weight (4 lbs), it gives a luxurious amount of space: a full 60" x 90". The bend in the poles is genius...we're both over 6', and the heads and feet of our sleeping bags don't even touch the mesh walls. Two can easily sit up to play cards and change.
Intuitive and easy set-up...straightforward even in the dark. This tent has been through a number of heavy showers and thunderstorms, and the inside has always stayed perfectly dry.

Very nice touch.) 2) Marmot supplies only 6 stakes. That's adequate, but to properly stake out the tent for rain, you're much better off with 8. As with any tent, you'll want even more anchor points (stakes...
