What We Found Interesting - The Top 3 Features
Before we go deep into our complete review of each feature, we have hand-picked the top three qualities of Marmot Tungsten that make it outshine the competitors on the market.
So without further ado, let us take a closer look at them.
Gold Feature - Dynamic Design
The Marmot Tungsten is one of the best tent models the company has to offer. Excellent for four people, it is spacious and perfect for your camping adventures. The tent poles are uniquely styled contributing to a larger internal area than other models.
These poles are pre-bent with their knees angled vertically to form straight walls as compared to the dome shape models which are angled inwards and reduce the head elevation.
This model has two doors for easy entry and exit and two vestibules for storage, making it perfect for those who like to pack a bit more for their trips. The material used overall is waterproof ensuring you and your belongings are well protected.
Silver Feature - Effective Ventilation
The Marmot Tungsten tent is incredible in terms of ventilation. It has an extended mesh around its wall and its ceiling to ensure proper ventilation is carried out and you feel at ease whether you are just hanging out or sleeping in it.
The tent also has vents on all sides over the tent fly, which when opened offers even better ventilation and minimum condensation in summers. When camping in chilly weather, the tapers can be lowered down to block the cold breeze.
The ceiling contains a mesh canopy which becomes see through when the upper fly is opened. This feature allows you to stargaze and enjoy those camping nights to the fullest.
Bronze Feature - Lightweight and Easy to Carry
This model only weighs eight pounds making it a perfect choice for those who are frequent backpackers.
Given how much it offers - extended living space, large headspace, two doors and two vestibules, clips and HD Velocity poles, and an additional footprint, it has an incredible size to weight ratio. Easily to assemble and easy to pack, this tent is one of the best in the Tungsten range.
Main Overview - Breaking down each of the details in depth:
Dynamic and Comfortable Design
The Marmot Tungsten 4 Person backpacking tent primarily focuses on the dynamic usability and comfort of its campers. It is livable during three seasons with a design that is structurally stalwart and reliable.
Easy Accessibility for Entry and Exit
It contains two doors or outlets, making it conveniently accessible from two sides and ensuring easy entry and exit. This feature will make sure your kids do not fight over who gets to go in or out first, averting that subversive sibling rivalry, trust this parent.
Spacious Area and Storage Capacity
This Marmot Tungsten tent offers 53 square feet of spacious flooring area with sufficient space for reclining or enjoying a snack besides just sleeping in your sleeping bags. It also contains two vestibules to give you additional storage area - one at the front and one adjacent to the tent.
The front vestibule adds an area of 11 square feet for storing your gear and belongings, keeping them safe from bad weather conditions. In addition to the front vestibule, the secondary vestibule increases your storage space by another 7.8 square feet for safekeeping more of your stuff.
Convenient Pockets
With multiple pockets inside of it, this tent helps you retain more of the flooring area for yourself and keeps your cables, chargers, cutlery, first aid kit and such accessories within reach.
This ensures that you do not go unpacking or searching for these important items. Another worth-mentioning feature of this tent is its lamp shade pocket. This pocket is specifically designed to hold a headlamp over the internal roof to keep your tent well lit. We recommend you use an SMD torch to ensure brightness.
Favorable Assembly
We all know that setting up a tent can be a pretty daunting task in itself and to make this process easier and convenient, Marmot Tungsten offers purpose driven poles with pre bent knees.
These poles are made of aluminum and give your tent a very lightweight yet strong structure. With HD Velocity technology, these poles keep the tent firm with no extra corners being winded or prone to cracks, making it live long.
Color Coded Clips and Potent Mobility
For added convenience in setting the tent up, Marmot Tungsten offers color coded clips which allow you to know which pole-end attaches to which tent orifice - making the task to be completed in just a couple of minutes. With a freestanding style once it is erected, it can be shifted to another spot at the camp-side as well - ensuring free mobility - but once placed, remains firm at the site.
With all these features it becomes an extremely simple task to put this tent up and then take it down (your 12-year old can do it too).
Specialized Material
The material is both waterproof and stainproof. To keep the internal ambience airy and fresh, there is a special mesh on the walls and ceiling of the tent which ensures proper ventilation and keeps the humidity to a minimum.
Catenary Cut Flooring
This tent is best used during spring, summer and fall. To keep it even more handy, its floor and rain-fly are properly seamed to keep the insides well-protected. An additional catenary cut insulation within the floor offers maximum safety.
Customized and Fitting Footprint
Marmot Tungsten also contains a customized and properly fitted footprint which allows you to set it up as you desire. You won’t have to worry if your campsite is even, wet or muddy.
