Marmot Aeolos Tent 2-Person 3-Season

Thanks to the Marmot Aeolos Tent’s vertical corner pole sections, tall hikers get a true 90 inches of room to stretch out after a long day on the trail. In addition to its spacious dimensions, this two-person tent feature two top poles that help maximize headroom for those tent-bound rainy days. Two doors and two vestibules give each person his or her own exit and storage space, and the tent can be set up with just the fly, poles, and footprint for an ultralight summer shelter.

Bottom Line: Stretch out in the Aeolos.

Wont let you down

This tent is where its at. Its super light and super durable. Its a good sized 2 person tent especially with the vertical sidewall construction. The duel vestebule is great, giving you the option for dual entry or using one side for storage of gear so it doesnt get in your way. Over all this tent is great, fairly light so not to bad to carry into the woods with you if need be, get one!

This was taken on a foggy morning on the Lake Superior Hiking Trail after the skies dumped on my buddy and me all night long.

That's who Aeolos is. This tent is super sturdy and roomy for it's weight. Lots of head space and plenty long for me at 6'0 and plenty wide for 2 adults. Sleeves make set up easy for 1 person and the clips are easy to attach. Lots of mesh and fly vents you can access from inside the tent keep it cool. One big vestibule and a second storage space gives you room to keep your stuff by your door. Fly clips into place. Poles are light and strong. Great tent if you want one strong enough to take higher in the mountains when it might snow and light enough to carry on your own and fits 2 adults comfortably.

What is the grommet bungee dealy for? Read and re-read the directions

What is the grommet bungee dealy for? Read and re-read the directions and I can only guess it is to field repair a torn out stake loop? Ideas? DD

I found my answer on a Crib Review:

It comes with 2 elastic-type bands attached to a grommet which I had no idea what they were. I had to call Marmot to ask where they belonged and they told me in case the tent breaks where it stakes in the ground, they can be used on the go if needed temporarily. This is a great feature, but again I wish I had a manual to tell me that and to show how to actually use them.

Almost Marmot Quality

By:
June 22, 2009

This is the first marmot product I owned that I don't love with 100% of my heart. One reason being that the fly droops over the door and touches the netting. I had the tent guyed out perfectly and still no luck. Fortunatly it didn't seem to cause any problems. Yes, if you wiggle the tent hard, condensation will drip from the fly through the netting but the same thing would happen if the fly wasn't touching the netting. I suppose I could say that the tent is a tad shorter than I expected (i'm 6'3) compared to all of the head room in there, it is huge inside. I felt like a king in a castle when I used it on a solo trip. The tent is extremely sturdy when fully guyed out and it is insanely easy to set up. One last negative though, with such a big comfy tent I expected the vestibule to be bigger. 3 stars because I hold marmot to higher standards. UPDATE - Getting in and out of the tent during (and after) a down pour is a very wet process because it is almost impossible to get out without jiggling rain off of the top onto your body. However, I broke the first rule of setting up a tent and set it up where water pooled to about 1.5 inches and the bottom of the tent was like a waterbed but not one drop leeked through.

Yes the fly drooping down is annoying to say the least and the pool of water that collects on the fly where it sags is also annoying. Here are two pieces of advice that I can give to help with the problems: 1st if it is raining bad and I get worried about the fly sagging onto the mesh I just disconnect the tent from the 2 smaller poles, which gives less tent space but brings the tent away from touching the fly. 2nd I just have to remember to push gently up on the fly before I get out to let the water that has collected run down the rain fly. The 2nd step is very annoying but for the awesome price I paid and the quality of the tent I am willing to put up with it. If you are still r eading their is one other thing that bothered me about this tent and that is the inside pockets that everything slides out of. So my girlfriend and I are just going to put a few stitches between the pocket and tent meshing to stop things from sliding out.Hope this helps :)

I noticed the same issue with my Aeolos; droopy fly when well staked out. I even got a puddle formed on one end of the top, which is worrisome. I think part of the reason is the new siliconized fly sheets. I have an NF tent that has the siliconized fly and I can't get that to stake out like I am used to. If the fly never leaks, I guess the weight savings is the price of not having a taut fly.

Great tent. Easy set up and take down. Haven't used it in in any extreme conditions but easily sleeps two adults and two dogs.

Strong, Sturdy, Pure Satisfaction

By:
May 13, 2009

This tent has it all when it comes to strength in high winds, comfort on just about any surface and most importantly its light. This is a dream to carry and it fits two people plus gear like no other 2 person tent I've had before. Two vestibules give you so much more room! Adjustable side venting and rain fly option give you a very customizable tent that can handle cold nights and hot days like a champ. Life wouldn't be the same with the Aeolos 2P in my pack.

P.S. When you buy it here be sure to spring for the footprint and gear loft. You can thank me later. Happy Tails!
