Marmot Halo 6-Person Tent
The Marmot Halo Tent's extra-large interior easily holds all six members of your family during a weekend trip, and its four-pole design withstands a stormy day in a remote base camp. Marmot used a double-door, double-vestibule design to allow easy entry as well as provide tons of out-of-the-rain storage space for boots and packs. The 75in interior height allows a six-foot person to stand up straight in the middle. Needless to say, there will be plenty of room for card games when you're stuck in the Halo Tent during a three-day storm.
Bottom Line: When you need more room, pitch the Marmot Halo Tent.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

I heard the 100sq ft floor is actually smaller. That marmot might have measured the floor material instead of the acutal area. I need to make the wife happy and she will not be happy unless I can get a queen size air mattress and a pack and play in this tent. Now Her current tent is 1900 sq ft but broke last trip but a bunch of space is not used cause of the way the ends of that tent tapered down to the small side doors. If this tent will not work what are some other tents I should look at.

The width of the Halo 6 is 10 feet and the length is 10 feet so that translates to 100 sq feet. Marmot worked hard to keep the sidewalls as vertical as possible to give it maximum usable interior space.

Without the rainfly, there are no vestibules, just the ground outside your tent door.

Nicely designed, high-quality product

This is a great quality tent. Simple to erect, dreamy when it comes to floorspace and headroom, bursting with nice features (great ventilation, double huge vestibules, nice multiple mesh organization pockets to either side of either door, huge "stargazing" ceiling when the fly isn't on, and more).
It does have a big footprint...a full 10' by 10' without the fly guyed out, so you are going to be looking for a larger space in which to pitch it, but you already knew this because it's a 'family' tent, right? I seriously doubt I'll ever be packing this thing anywhere other than in the rear of the car, but if I was sure I had a good place to pitch it and if a few friends were willing to split the weight up by dividing all the various parts between packs, I would consider using it as a three-season 'base camp' sort of tent up in the actual wilderness, if the hike in to said base wasn't all that far. Don't plan on it though...with the footprint I am sure the whole bag weighs a good eighteen pounds. But...buy a pack animal, and you're set. :)
The "halo" pole are pretty ingenious, adding tons of headspace and making the tent a lot more rigid under the strain of moderate to heavy winds (which I've had in the three trips I've taken it on so far).
I would have to say this tent is worth every penny over bargain-brand family-sized tents - it is actually a bit smaller and lighter than many of them while sacrificing nothing and adding top-quality materials and craftsmanship. Treated right, this is obviously a piece of gear that will last for many, many years.

I called Marmot to confirm if this tent has a double or single vestibule. Their website does not do a very good job of confirming this option. The phone call concluded that there was only one vestibule. Your review says there are 2....Please help..Any thoughts?
Does it come with a foot print/tarp? Do they sell one that is
Does it come with a foot print/tarp?
Do they sell one that is for it?
How does it do in rain, wind, condensation?
How are the zippers after use with kids..in/out...up/down multiple times?
How easy does the manufacturer make it to fix problems, repair poles/rods/rips/tears/zippers/clips? How good is the lifetime warranty?
Does it come in a bag that is easy to carry? Several bags?
What is the sleeping pattern?
Never heard of manufacturer, what kind of reputation does Marmot have?

I'm not sure if I can get all of these, but I'll give it a shot.
- It does not come with a footprint, but there is one for it on this site, item #MAR1110. Just put that in the search bar and hit enter.
- It will do an excellent job in rain, wind (up to probably 35-40 if you guy it out), and condensation.
- The zippers are very durable and will last a long time, but the fastest killers of zipper are sand (usually not a problem) and stepping on them. Make it very very clear that no one can step on the zippers, teeth or sliders, ever.
- Marmot's warranty is quite good, and can be seen here: http://www.marmot.com/node/343
- It comes in one bag, a cylinder 25 inches long and 14 across and 19 pounds, so you can judged for yourself whether that's easy to carry.
- The sleeping pattern for big square tents like this is usually two people across at the head and feet, and four people side by side in the middle.
- I'm quite surprised that you haven't heard of Marmot, they have a fantastic reputation for jackets, tents, and other soft goods.
Besides, if anything goes wrong with the tent, whether Marmot covers it or not, you can always return it to Backcountry for a full refund. Any time, any condition. That's why Backcountry has 73,000 registered customers.

Great Tent
By: Travis
April 22, 2009
I don't camp often but when I do (once a year, for a week at Hermit Island) I need a durable tent that can handle all kinds of weather. I've owned this tent for two years of serious weather and it's THE best tent I've ever had. This tent is more like an outdoor hotel room than a tent...it's huge! There's also plenty of ventilation with the rain fly on so you don't need to worry about getting wet no matter what mother nature throws at you. This tent sets up easy and because of its simple design is easy to clean and pack up. After camping for decades and having many tents I give this one two thumbs up, five stars and recommend it to anyone looking for a large, reliable tent.

Hey Mark,The best thing to do is jump on "live chat" and ask those folks. They can look up if there are any on order, and if they are they can tell you roughly when they're expected.

According to the manual for the tent it takes two people although three may make the process go faster!

The warmth factor is due more to your sleeping bag. This tent can certainly handle more than a light snow fall.
