Tungsten 1p

While a little on the heavy side, this is a great tent to start backpacking with. I've taken it out a few times now and it has worked out great. The tent is very roomy, I had space ar my head and feet to store gear amd the vestibule had plany of room for my pack. This is a solid tent.

Overly Heavy

Tent seems well made but is definitely too heavy for what it is - probably because it's made from polyester instead of nylon. It is also very flimsy so probably will be a terror in wind especially if you can't manage to reach under the fly to attach the Velcro straps to the poles.

Fairly Ordinary Tent But A Good Value

I own quite few tents from many brands, including Marmot, but have been looking for a small, freestanding 1 person tent/bivy shelter for use in the shoulder season in tight spots near treeline. There are many options out there but they are usually ultralight manufacturers and are very expensive and made with thin, delicate fabrics. The Tungsten 1P is a pretty solid overall model and I was pleased to fit in it with some space. (I am 6 ft 3 in tall). It is the usual solid contructionI expect from Marmot but had several disappointing features about it. First and foremost is the weight. It is advertised at 3 lbs 9 oz but my official measurements had it comfortably over 4 lbs with everything it came with. Even ditching the footprint that is really heavy for a 1 person freestanding tent. I have many 2 person tents in this weight range. Second issue was the amount of mesh. I specifically chose this model over the ultralight version because I'm using for shoulder season and wanted less mesh. The pictures so a nice high fabric front on the door/vestibule side, perfect for what I wanted, but the back wall opposite the door is all mesh down to the bathtub floor. Considering how heavy it already is I'm sure that is why this was chosen but it was not what I was expecting. The third issue I found was that the fabrics of the body and fly are quite baggy and sag unless you have a really taut pitch, which can be an issue depending on the type of ground you pitch it on. I think this will be particularly problematic on the all mesh back wall. The fly rests right on it and I suspect will let moisture through. This could have been alleviated or prevented with a short cross pole at the top, which adds some tension and better headroom. This is becoming a common feature on most new 1 person tents but is lacking in Marmot models. So all in all a well made tent and a good value but some of the design choices are disappointing and the weight could be an issue for many people. If weight is an issue and you'll be using the tent in warmer weather the ultralight version seems to be worth the extra money.

Great Little Tent

I bought this tent a few weeks ago and immediately put it to use on an 8 day backpacking trip. Overall a good tent for the price. Not super heavy and easy enough to put up. Nothing fancy, doesn't have much in the way of vestibules but I do really enjoy that the back wall is all mesh. It held up great in wet and dry conditions.
