Marmot Twilight 2 Person Tent w/ Gear Loft and Footprint

sweet tent
sweet tent, packs small and light, easy to set up, would definetly recomend it!

Great Value and great quality
The Twightlight 2 person tent is the best price/size/weight combination that I could find. The quality is great, with a well considered design. Easy two door egress and zippers that won't catch on fabric. I like the little vinyl window. Easy set up with one tent pole assembly (can't lose that!) Substantial light weight pegs. Lots of room in the two vestibules.

almost perfect
For backpacking I am a North Face fan. I have had a Tadpole for 15plus years and it is still in perfect condition. It has survived wind and snow and desert and tropical sun and has never failed. That said I went out looking for a reasonable but well made car/kayaking camping tent with two doors and vestibules. So the Twilight is almost perfect for that use. It could also work as a backpacking tent and could rival my tadpole as a larger backpacking tent except is it: 1. less stable as a freestanding tent and really needs to be staked out to achieve the rigidity of my tadpole. I can pick up the tadpole with little loss of structure and move it around. This is a great feature if you have to reposition the tent in a hurry. The marmot really collapsed when I tried to do this and I worried I would damage the poles or hubs. 2. Vestibules are large but the design really exposes your gear when opening and closing the door.It was difficult to get them taut enough in moderately rocky ground to really provide optimum gear protection. Also the vestibule zippers are so far away from the body of the tent when they are staked out you have to crawl out of the tent to open or close them. That was annoying. 3. The gear loft placement is poor. It worked better when we slept with our heads at the foot of the tent in the narrower section. Otherwise you bopped your head on the loft anytime you sat up. I am only 5'3" so I have no idea what a tall person would do. Positives: Marmot outstanding quality of construction, I love the window!!!, roominess, pockets. It is a very easy tent to set up but because of the hubs the poles are a bit heavy. For the price this tent is a great deal given it comes with gear loft and footprint.

Amazing quality and simplicity
I feel that my review for this tent should be taken with a grain of salt due to the fact that this is the first tent i have ever personally purchased. Now with that being said, I must say that this tent has by far been the easiest I have ever seen in the process of setting up. A self-explanatory-you-could-teach-a-monkey-to-do-this design makes late night stormy set ups a breeze, pardon the pun. I also cannot write this review without expressing how impressed i was at the quality and attention to detail of this tent. If this is what marmot considers introductory, i cant wait to work up to getting other products of theirs.
