Tungsten 3 Person

I’ve got the NF Wawona 6 thinking I needed the extra space but while its spacious and nice, it is a bigger pain in the a$$ to set up than my now go-to tent which is the Marmot Tungsten 3p. Although it’s a tighter space, I much prefer it over the Wawona as it’s a fast set up and still pretty comfortable. Not to mention it’s actually surprisingly very durable for the price.

The tungstens are awesome. A little heavy and bulky for backpacking but you can totally make it work too. I have a 1p and 3p and they are my go to for car camping. I used to use them for backpacking until I got lighter stuff.

I picked one up at Sam’s Club (online) for $140 in January. Was heavier than I wanted (6lb) for backpacking. Anyway a quick google search Just showed $250-300 or so range.

The Tungsten is a great tent. Keep in mind REI will have their Memorial Day sale coming up and you can get one item 20% off.

I've had that marmot tent since 2014 and use it at least 10 times a year. The rain fly seams will let a heavy rain weep through but besides that I've had zero issues. I wouldn't think the waterproofing would give any issues if it's still new, it'll be roomier than that 2p as well.
