So far, so good... But we shall see. By Turkey Boy Rob. from Omaha Ne,momentarily on 02/24/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Set Up, Fly Works Well, Lightweight, Sturdy, Waterproof Cons: Not much room for gear Best Uses: Backpacking, Hiking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Im giving the nutshell 4 stars because I have only had it out on a couple small weekend trips so far. The real test will be the extensive south america trip I will be taking it on at the end of august. So far I am very happy, this tent sets up like a dream, seems to be extremely sturdy, I love the seamless corners on the floor, not to mention- its like a feather. I look foward to many more adventures with my new Marmot nutshell.
Durable comfortable wind-rain proof By trail-rider from western mountain states U.S.A on 08/23/2008 Pros: Adequate room for 1 pers, Comfortable, Dark floor drys quickly, Easy To Set Up, Fly Works Well, Good ventilation, Sturdy, Waterproof, Wind resistant, Zipper hi-qualilty-quiet Cons: Fly could be lighter, Poles just fair, Small vestibule, Water puddled on fly Best Uses: Backpacking, Beach, Hiking, Motorcycle Camping Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Overall good value at less than [$]. Marmot superior quality. Heavier material disqualifies this tent as an "ultra-light" inmho, however is durable and reliable. Kept me perfectly dry, warm in windy, rainy summer conditions at 9k ft. Dark floor drys quickly. Replaced the stakes w/MSR aluminum red squares. Over tightening the fly will bend the poles. Seamless floor. Large, easy entry door. IMHO the pole guides, sleeve will not fail as one user wrote. No worry, Marmot lifetime warranty.
By The Cascadian Turtle from Olympia, WA on 08/01/2008 Cons: Difficult To Setup, Poor Fly Design, Too Cramped Best Uses: Backpacking, Hiking, Kayak Camping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Three different sized poles, the longest has to pass through a sleeve, then the other two poles have to pass through the sleeve in these little holes that will no doubt rip over time. Keep on shopping, there are far better tents out there.
