Nemo Tensor vs Marmot Tungsten 2P

Ultimately if you got your load lighter that would allow you to carry more for her if need be.

Use a bic lighter instead of the fire starter, invest in a quality sleeping pad with like a Nemo alpine (can use in winter) it’s way more comfortable than what you selected. Go with the Tungsten 2p tent, it’s a quality tent that will last. You don’t have to be ultralight but you should seriously take into consideration the weight of the items and more importantly the size of the items in making your decision on what to buy.

You know it's not it's It's not too tight on the interior so it's a great tent. Very happy with the purchase and I really liked it. Came with the you ...

I'm looking for minor improvements mostly (I can't really see a pathway to 10lb BPW without dropping big money on DCF gear) and making sure I have reasonable climate protection. Less weight would be nice, as I'd like to skip the onion valley resupply but I just don't know how my body will respond to that kind of altitude to do that kind of mileage. I'm a fairly competent runner but at sea level. Thanks for the input!

I have had the opportunity to use this tent a few times since I received it a few weeks ago. The weight is it’s biggest downside, being heavier by at least a pound, compared to other backpacking tents I was looking at. The stakes bend easily, but are also economical to replace. The reason that I went with the Marmot Tungsten 2p was for its durability and endless reviews of how it stands up to wind and rain

You cant call them because they have a permanent voicemail system that automatically comes on and they never called back. It’s just ridiculous that you cannot back up your product better with this price tag. You will be better served by doing more investigating on sleeping pads and staying away from this one. Buyer Beward

If you can stomach the price the Tungsten UL 2p or 3p would be the best in a Marmot tent for backpacking or the Super Alloy. Sunnysports.com right now has a ton of Marmot tents on sale.

COMFORTABLE, Quiet, Lightweight, Packs down easily and compactly, easy enough with a bit of to inflate bit of practice, good insulating qualities (I've slept on it in the snow at 20 degrees F).

I had the limelight 2P, but replaced it with the Tungsten 2P and am glad I did. Some little features, like the metal center hub (vs the plastic on the limelight) are a nice touch, but the best part for me was the 2 doors/2 vestibules. The Limelight only had 1 door/vestibule, which is fine when I’m solo, but when I’m camping with my kids I’d rather not climb over them or them me in the middle of the night. The extra vestibule also means we can all keep boots and other gear outside but still dry
