Our Analysis & Ratings

This is a good quality, spacious hiking tent perfect for short hiking trips and camping. We prefer a more lightweight option for longer trips but really this is a great tent that will last for years and keep you dry. We love the large interior space.

Comfort - The Marmot Tungsten is a very comfortable tent. With an extra large interior and lots of head room this is a vey comfy living space.

Construction - While the materials are not ripstop they are high denier (density) and the poles are a solid gauge aluminium. Taped seams make for a good weather rating.

Features - Double vestibules, storage pockets and high privacy screens provide everything you need in a hiking tent. 3 pole setup.

Size/Weight - Packed size of 54x18cm, weight of 2.4kg. Not the most lightweight and compact tent but that is in part because a larger space is provided.

Versatility - We like the Marmot for short hiking trips or pure camping because of its large interior space. A bit heavy for us for long hiking trips.

Overall - A great budget choice, better suited for short trips & camping.
