I have been using the tent for three months now, testing it in a variety of environments and weathers. First of all, I hiked the Translagorai trail with it, a 70Km hike in the Eastern Italian Alps. For the occasion, I packed it inside my 60L backpack, and I never felt the tent was pulling away space for other stuff, standing nicely in its own little place. About the weight, I cannot really judge since I was carrying around 7kg of camera gear, but I felt that the tent wasn’t adding much weight more than when I had refilled my hydration bladder. I also used it in Sardinia during the trek of Selvaggio Blu and on the Amalfi Coast, on a climbing and shooting mission.
Pitching the tent is super easy thanks to the colour coded clips and poles, and fast. Once you clip the tent to the poles, you already have a free-standing structure that you can use for those dry summer nights out, as I did for a while on Amalfi Coast (I had to put the rain-shield on during the night due to the brightness of the full moon). On the inside, the Marmot Tungsten has a very liveable space for one person: sitting upright, I had extra space above my head and around me, allowing me to move around with ease. When lying down, I have to do a distinction: during the Translagorai thru-hike, I could store my 60L backpack at my feet, still having a bit of space for my head. During the other hikes where I was carrying with me a small 25L pack, I could store it at my side without any significant loss of liveable space.
During my hike in Sardinia, one night I experienced strong winds and rain. I was kept dry all the time by the rain-shield, and the tent did well also resisting the strong winds.
