Marmot Aeolos Tent 2-Person 3-Season
Good but not perfect
By DeepGlue
Ranked #1530 - 3-Season Tents
February 2, 2010
Pros: Very light for being so incredibly roomy, the near-vertical walls are great. It's also completely waterproof without seam-sealing.
Cons: Attaching the fly is annoying: The cross-poles have to fit into grommets on the fly underside that are hard to reach and even harder to catch. If the tent and fly aren't staked out perfect, you will get a pool of water on your fly ceiling (although not a drop comes through). Tightening straps on the vestibule attachment points would be nice, I had to add some. The tent and fly doors are also quite awkward to get out of the way, and the pockets seem to be designed to let stuff fall out of them.
Bottom line: Bomber but awkward. It's a great tent if you get a deal on it.
