Marmot Nutshell Ultralight Tent - 2-Person, 3-Season

I have had this tent for almost ten years without a single issue... Yes that's how good of a tent it is. I have used probably 100+ times in the last ten years in pretty much every condition and on every surface except snow and it still rocks. Only gripe is it's low profile doesn't give much head room and you better like your camping partner if you are going to share.

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.

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.

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.

Most of my gear is tended towards weight savings, but this tent is a palace for 1 person....
