Marmot Gear Loft - One Size Fitts All - 2008 BCS
Available Colors / Styles
When you use up all the floor space in your Marmot tent, turn to the Gear Loft for more storage. This nylon mesh attic clips into any Marmot tent to provide an off-the-floor space to stash your gear. The Gear Loft also makes an excellent place to dry gloves, socks, and other goodies that got soaked during the day.
Bottom Line: If you run out of floor space, build an attic with the Marmot Gear Loft.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

I wasn't sure if I wanted one of these...at first. Now that I have one, I almost can't imagine going without. I keep small essentials, like my headlamp and a pocketknife in it, so I always know just where to find them. At night, I keep a hat and an extra pair of socks up there, too, just in case I should want them.
REI.com says it weighs 3 ounces, and there are few things that light that are this useful.

Lines can be pulled very tight in many directions. Haven't tested the mesh durability yet.. but looks standard. I am not sure how much i will use this..probably not urgently needed..but its out of the way and a good spot to throw all sorts of stuff.. but nothing too heavy.
Would this work for a mar Jubba Jubba?

Hi there, I presume you were referring to the MSR Hubba Hubba. How did you find the fit? I'm trying to find a gear loft for the Hubba Hubba as well.

Not recommended for Aura 2P

Gear lofts in general are wonderful things, I have spent lots of time in an REI Taj 3 and MH Trango 3 where the gear lofts and pockets are like gold. I have a high regard for Marmot products and was expecting this gear loft to fit my Aura snugly and with little effort.
Unfortunately, the four attachment points in the Aura form a rhombus, and this square gear loft fits quite poorly. The fact that the suspension cords are made of elastic bungee compounds the problem; if the loft is loaded at all, it sinks significantly and the loft bunches up around the sides. This bungee cord and toggles also weigh 28 of the gear loft's 67 total grams, and would not be necessary if marmot offered tent-specific lofts.
Also worth noting; the design of the Aura is such that when weighted, the loft creates tension at the attachment points, which collapses the two shorter poles inward, creating slack in the mesh tent body and reducing interior space. My solution was to do some modification to the loft, I removed the bungee altogether and extended the clips from 2 corners with two pieces of nylon line. I put the other two clips directly through the other two corners. This reduces weight (now at 40g), bulk, and creates a better fit.
Bottom line: If you must have a loft for your Marmot tent, this one will work, but be prepared for a project.
Lofty Idea

The gear loft is very convenient. The drawstring slack fits nicely into the loft's separate pocket designed for this purpose. No need to stuff it in a major side pocket.
How would this thing hang up in a halo 4 tent? It's far
How would this thing hang up in a halo 4 tent? It's far smaller than the span of the tent and the picture doesn't show any tethers.

there are hooks in the tent ceiling that the loops attach too.

The gear loft was as advertised. I have a twilight 2p. It worked great all the small items you need close at hand can be thrown in it. I used it for my glasses, toilet paper, small flashlight, whatever. The gear loft fit well, but the extra take up cord hangs down and neds to be tucked into the pocket on the side of the loft. Definitely a worthwile purchase.
What is the size of this gear loft? I bought something similar
What is the size of this gear loft? I bought something similar on-line but returned right away because it was ridiculously small.

My tent has tons of pockets, but sometimes that's just not enough. This loft adds just a bit more. Great for a headlamp, down booties, cards, cell phone, alarm clock, whatever. And it's adjustable! For $14, why the hell wouldn't you?

I would highly recommend this loft. I just lived out of my Marmot Lime Light 3 for 12 days and this thing gave me a ton more room. It is a must have for serious campers who like room.
Change me.
