Marmot tungsten 2p quality

[Beretta612]

Looking for reviews on the marmot tungsten 2P tent. Mainly concerned I guess with waterproof and durability. Thanks for your input.

I have owned the Tungsten 1p and still own a Tungsten 2p UL. I have not had either in an extended downpour but they are very well built imo. They are not super light at around (3 1/2 lbs) each, but light enough for me. I have found durability to be a sacrifice for many UL tents which is understandable. The 1p felt like a coffin to me which is why I went to the 2p UL which weighs the same as the 1p regular.

I like the 2p Tungsten because it’s roomy and light enough. I believe the Tungsten comes with a footprint (not the UL), or I would suggest some Tyvek or sheet plastic as a ground cloth depending on where you camp.

Good tent for the prime imo. Probably not a 4 season tent, but checked the boxes I was looking for which sound similar to your question. Light enough, while still being durable, quality construction, can handle rain and light snow. In my experience, if you treat your tent well (don’t yank zippers, put away wet, set up on a sharp floor) you’ll get miles out of it.

Lastly, it’s a tent you’re likely to be able to find on sale which is nice. Good luck!

absolutely awesome! Thank you so much for that. I’m in the same boat as you I don’t mind the extra pound and a half. But I want to make sure something doesn’t go TU on me in the middle of a hunt. So far everything I’ve seen the tent ventilates well does not condensate it is relatively dry. Thanks again for the heads up And the input I appreciate it
