Comments about 19630-Foliage/Dark Azure / One Size

Out of the box its seems to be a very durable tent with what seems to be long lasting materials, and magnetic tent poles that assemble very easily. The tent poles are long but found just sticking those in the pack make this tent very compactable and easy to pack.

Tent seems well made but is definitely too heavy for what it is - probably because it's made from polyester instead of nylon. It is also very flimsy so probably will be a terror in wind especially if you can't manage to reach under the fly to attach the Velcro straps to the poles.

I own quite few tents from many brands, including Marmot, but have been looking for a small, freestanding 1 person tent/bivy shelter for use in the shoulder season in tight spots near treeline. There are many options out there but they are usually ultralight manufacturers and are very expensive and made with thin, delicate fabrics. The Tungsten 1P is a pretty solid overall model and I was pleased to fit in it with some space. (I am 6 ft 3 in tall). It is the usual solid contructionI expect from Marmot but had several disappointing features about it. First and foremost is the weight. It is advertised at 3 lbs 9 oz but my official measurements had it comfortably over 4 lbs with everything it came with. Even ditching the footprint that is really heavy for a 1 person freestanding tent. I have many 2 person tents in this weight range. Second issue was the amount of mesh. I specifically chose this model over the ultralight version because I'm using for shoulder season and wanted less mesh. The pictures so a nice high fabric front on the door/vestibule side, perfect for what I wanted, but the back wall opposite the door is all mesh down to the bathtub floor. Considering how heavy it already is I'm sure that is why this was chosen but it was not what I was expecting. The third issue I found was that the fabrics of the body and fly are quite baggy and sag unless you have a really taut pitch, which can be an issue depending on the type of ground you pitch it on. I think this will be particularly problematic on the all mesh back wall. The fly rests right on it and I suspect will let moisture through. This could have been alleviated or prevented with a short cross pole at the top, which adds some tension and better headroom. This is becoming a common feature on most new 1 person tents but is lacking in Marmot models. So all in all a well made tent and a good value but some of the design choices are disappointing and the weight could be an issue for many people. If weight is an issue and you'll be using the tent in warmer weather the ultralight version seems to be worth the extra money.

So far, so good. On my first trip out with the Tungsten 1 person tent, it rained pretty heavily in the middle of the night and not a drop of water inside. It is a super small tent, but that's to be expected for such a light backpacking option.

I bought this to go to Iceland camping with some expected winds. My Nemo Hornet lightweight may not be strong enough. I am happy with it's expected durability; but feel a little in the heavy side for this extra durability. The rain fly doesn't stay away from the tent even with the ties staked into the ground assisting. I do like the pocket at my head and smaller pocket in the roof. The included ground tarp is very nice that fits the right size for the tent.

I recently completed the 20 mile Manistee River Loop Trail and spent two nights in this tent. I have absolutely no regrets about this purchase as the tent performed flawlessly. It is incredibly easy to set up/take down within minutes, had plenty of room for me inside and for my backpack in the vestibule, and there was adequate ventilation with no condensation despite the nights being cool. Best of all, the footprint is included so there is no additional expense for this important component to help protect the floor. All in all, I am extremely pleased with my Marmot 1p Tungsten Tent!

This tent is not the lightest tent you could possibly buy, and being polyester ripstop requires DWR treatments to maintain its waterproofing, but it is still a great tent. I have pitched this tent in all kind of places, from car camping, to the highest points int he rockies. I used this tent during a two day thunderstorm near a summit and never had an issue with wind or rain. Being freestanding it easy to pitch on a varying types of terrain. The tent can be further secured using either pegs, or rocks to hold down the guy lines. The guy lines are also reflective at night. Inside there is a fair amount of space and the tent does not sag onto your face or feet if pitched correctly. There is a small pocket in the top corner that fits my headlamp perfectly at night and provides good light across the tent. There is also a hook in the top middle of the tent, and a traditional pocket by the entrance. The vestibule is a good size if you like to put your water, boots, or other gear outside your tent at night. The bathtub in this tent is also great, it wraps up far enough that there isn't concern about water getting over and in, although I would still suggest a mat that keeps you off and away from the ground. Like most standard tents this also includes a patch kit. Zipper draw strings are easy to use in good and bad weather. The small details in this tent are appreciated. There is a lot of value in this tent for the price.

I was looking for a tent to replace my very well used Marmot Peapod. Sure glad I chose to stay with Marmot and the Tungsten 1P. I wanted a smaller tent than I had before in order to save space in my sea kayak. Marmot knows how to build good tents!

I cycle tour with the tungsten 1 person. It is light weight and perfect size for one person and some gear stored inside. Spacious vestibule
