Review of Marmot’s Ultra-Light “Tungsten” 1 person tent – setup & take-down

I finally bought a 1 person tent. I always had doubts about the value of a 1 person tent because I thought they were too small. I also had worries about the strength of an ultra-light tent. After an extensive research, I decided to try Marmot’s Tugsten UL 1P.

It’s important to try new gear at home before taking it to the field. This is my first impression of this tent.

Marmot claims that this tent has more space per ounce than any other freestanding UL backpacking tent.

More space means more comfort, and the Tungsten UL 1-person tent delivers without adding extra weight to the pack. Zone pre-bend construction of the poles creates vertical walls for plenty of sleeping and relaxing space, plus headroom for stretching out. “Easy pitch” clips and poles make it easy to set up quickly. If a downpour hits, the seam-taped full-coverage fly and catenary-cut floor ensure you’ll stay dry and rain won’t pool inside. Stash your pack, poles, and other gear in the two vestibules and tuck a headlamp into the lamp shade pocket for ambient light at night.
