5.0 out of 5 stars Great Tent, Great Marmot Warranty, September 17, 2009

This tent is extremely easy to setup (even in the pouring rain) and has served us well through all seasons. It has been warm and insulating in very cold temperatures (well below freezing) above 12,000 feet in CO. Although it is a two person tent, it is a little on the small side, but that helps with the minimal weight. Also, if you are looking for a tent with a large vestibule, this is not a tent for you. The vestibule has enough room for two large packs and shoes- that's it. The vents, places to attach biners and lights, and the colors are all nice touches. If your idea of backpacking is roughing it and going fast and light, this is the tent for you- it's just the perfect size and holds up in nasty weather.

Unfortunately while trying to set it up in a hail storm, I was rushing and bent a pole too much- breaking it and the shock cord inside. This sounds like the beginning of a bad review, but it comes with some nice extra pole pieces that we were able to rig so our trip could continue with a standing tent. After getting home and sending it away for free Marmot got a new pole back to us within 4 weeks. Marmot rocks!

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Customer Service, September 28, 2009

If you ever plan to deal with the customer service, do not buy Marmot Tents. I sent them mine about 6 months ago (my tent has a lifetime warranty). After 5 years and about 5 2-3 day hikes per year the seam tapes started to go off. After 2 months I called them to find out that they received the tent and would replace it. I wasn't happy, since they no longer produced a single person tent for a 6ft tall person, but said OK. 2 months later I called and was told that my tent had mildew and would not be repaired or replaced. They offered me to buy a net tent at a discount. The cheapest I could find would have cost me over a $100. I said NO, I want my old tent back. They said they would ship it. 2 months later - no tent. I called them and the guy named Fry told me they still have my old tent in their office.

By the way, I dried my tent after every backpack and didn't see any mildew when I sent it.
