The Marmot Tungsten UL 2-Person Tent is a freestanding, three-season shelter built for backpackers who want to move fast without sacrificing livability. Its full mesh upper canopy cuts weight while promoting airflow, and the seam-taped, full-coverage fly with vents shields the interior from rain and condensation.
Pre-bent DAC NFL aluminum poles pull the walls outward for extra headroom, while two doors and two vestibules provide separate entry and gear storage on both sides. Color-coded clips, poles, and fly simplify setup, and interior pockets—including a lampshade pocket for a headlamp—keep small items organized and overhead light within reach.
