Reviewed by outdoor lover from Boston, MA on Sunday, September 30, 2012It rained all night when I went camping and there were no leaks at all! The one con is that the poles are a little flimsy, as some of the other reviews said but they still work.

Reviewed by Contra Dance Gypsy from Ann Arbor, MI on Wednesday, September 19, 2012I rarely write reviews, but I felt called to add my voice to the many comments here about the poles for this tent. I had read the reviews about the poles bending, so I was being particularly careful with the poles, even though I assumed the bending was just a minor curvature that I wouldn't care about. I was wrong, and even with careful handling, the second time I set the tent up one of the orange poles bent, right at a connection. The reviews seem to be correct - these are some seriously flawed poles. The bend in them currently won't prevent the tent from being usable, but it's certainly of concern that there may be more severe and incapacitating bending to come. Since this model is at least 2 generations old (and, alas, thus no footprint is available for it, not even a footprint for the next newer model), hopefully Marmot has rectified the poles problem in whatever tent has taken its place. But that's no consolation for those of us with this model - the problem is so severe that Marmot really should have issued a recall for these poles. Otherwise, it seems like a really nice tent in the Marmot tradition, and assuming I can continue to set it up properly, I'll much enjoy camping in it.

Reviewed by BullzEyes from Seattle, WA on Monday, September 10, 2012We happened to get into a thunder storm the first time we use the tent. It was solid in heavy rain. We can see spots when water penetrates the outer tent and make the inner damp, at places where they touch each other. Other than that, it was all dry. The setup is easy and the tent looks nice too.

Reviewed by Jeff from AK from Upstate New York on Tuesday, September 04, 2012I purchased this tent to replace my weary North Face and to increase size to allow for my increased family numbers. I've used Marmots gear sparingly but have never been disappointed. After purchasing it, I was reading reviews and became a little skeptical about the quality of the poles, with so many reviews saying they bend wry easily. When it arrived I set it up and just carefully and slowly bent the poles into position. I left it up for half an hour or so and then camped with it the next weekend. The poles did get a very slight bend but nothing of concern as they will be in the same position every time the tent is set up. Overall I'm very pleased. Plenty of room, pleantyvof pockets, large vestibule, large doors front and rear and great price!

Reviewed by Dreaming Horses from New Jersey on Thursday, August 16, 2012The tent was easy to set up/ take down and withstood rain and wind well. I love the color and the air flow. While the tent is fine, I can see the need for something under the tent to protect the floor. The tent doe not come with enough tent pegs. I bought extras.

Reviewed by AnninFargo from Fargo ND on Tuesday, July 17, 2012Roomy, well ventilated, waterproof, lightweight--great tent in most ways. Poles bent slightly first time out. Used a total of 8 times before one of the long poles gave way completely. Marmot has had the poles for two months now with no comment on what they will/ will not do to remedy the problem, much less actually repairing/ replacing the poles. I think I'm finished with Marmot. No reflection on STP.
