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.

Not sure, I received the 3P Tungsten & set it up. It had everything I expected (minus stakes for guy lines, but I don’t think that is exclusive to Sam’s). Solid little tent, heavy but solid.

imo 1000 is WAY too high for a tent, unless you plan on camping in sub 20F conditions (hot tent).  i just picked up a marmot tungsten 3p tent for me and my girl, it was AWESOME. really well constructed, fared well in fresh snow. Price was around 350 USD. you absolutely need a 3person tent. most camping gear is rated to "survival" conditions, not comfort. 2p tent is really for one, sleeping bag rated to 0F is really for 15F, etc.  We were comfortable sleeping, I am 6'1 and she is 5'4.  Edit- sorry just saw you're looking for 4-6 person. I still think the 3p is a great tent and should be good for your situation
