Marmot - Tungsten 2-Person Tent

I got my tungsten 2p from sunny sports recently because of the price. No issues here. Great little tent.

I’m on my second 2P, only bc first was replaced under warranty. There is very little lb difference between 1P and 2P, so unless you want to stay in a tight 1P, upsize to the 2P. It’s perfect for me and my pack, although it has 2 vestibules too.

My recommendation as a life scout having been in an active scout troop for 5 years is the Marmot tungsten 2p. It has plenty of room, is easy to set up, and is nearly bullet proof. I have had the 3p version for 4 years with no issues. The tent can be used 4-seasons out of the year, and is light enough to take on backpacking trips. You shouldn’t have to buy your scout another tent in his duration in scouting(provided they take proper care of it)

I like my Marmot Tungsten 2p

If it's just you, go with the 2p, but if you need room to store gear and keep food and other stuff with you do the 3p. The weight is pretty close so it's really up to the circumstances on what you need to keep by your side.

Great choice. I’m on my second Marmot Tungsten 2 person. It’s not ultra light, though. My first one went through some crazy rainstorms, always kept everything dry. The glue on the seams really disintegrating, but still waterproof. I got a great deal on a new one, so picked it up

Yes, I’m not a backpacker, more of a car camper, and do day hikes. It’s really a perfect little tent.

We have a Marmot Tungsten 2 person tent and it’s an excellent tent. Fits two people comfortably, can be put up easily, even by one person. Stays dry. It’s lightweight and durable. We just camped in the rain in the Blue Ridge mountains and stayed dry. Comes with a footprint. Two doors and vestibules and it’s relatively roomy. Honestly you can’t go wrong. If you’re wanting a 3 person tent because you’re afraid a 2 person tent is too small, that’s not really the case here. A 3 person might be too bulky for backpacking anyway.

My husband and I have a Tungsten 2p and we love it! Spacious enough for both of us (I’m 5’2” and he’s 6’2”…still enough room even with me being pregnant…we’re both of average build otherwise). Honestly I see people recommending a 3 person tent for two people…to me it’s not necessary and plus a 2p gives you more options: smaller and lighter for if you want to go any backpacking! As far as storage space for your stuff, that’s what the vestibules are for (unless you’re worried about moisture then keep it inside). It’s a high quality tent. I love the two doors/two vestibules and it holds up very well in wet weather.  It’s also easy to put up!

I just bought the Marmot Tungsten 2P for $175 from a store with a name that closely rhymes with “Rick’s Sporting Goods.”For some reason, Reddit won’t let me use the real name. I love the tent. It fits a double pad for me and my large dog. I can sit up in it. He can stand up in it.

I lived in DC for many years and had a similar journey/requirements. I basically owned heavy versions of backpacking gear (aka: not ultralight) I had a marmot tungsten 2 tent, REI helix sleeping pad, a camping quilt by thermarest because it was cozy and took up less space than a sleeping bag (WV is pretty warm camping though) and I had a small foam pillow from amazon— which I actually rolled up and put in a small stuff sack. It all fit in an ikea bag in my closet for taking the metro!

The cheapest tent I’d feel comfortable using would be something like a Marmot Tungsten 2, which is a surprisingly decent tent for the price.

Good call, the Marmot Tungsten tents are shockingly good value for the money. I did quite a few trips with my old Tungsten 2 and had nothing but good things to say about it. I love that they include a footprint with the tent too, wish more brands did that.
