Marmot Halo 6-Person Tent
Would I buy another

We just spent a week in the GSMNP and used our Halo 6 tent for two people. Let me tell you this is the way to camp. For the first time in years we had all kinds of room for our backpacks and other gear. On this trip we encountered high winds two nights and watched the tents top move side to side, not one time was i worried. The Halo 6 did what it was meant to to do, hold up like a marmot tent should. One of these nights we were under a severe weather warning with winds and rain pounding on us and not a drop of rain inside and again movement at the top, the tent held up great! Guess this is why we own two marmot tents.....
The only problem we had with the tent was when we began the tear down were we discovered two bent poles. We had heard this is a problem just thought it was peoples imaginations, guess not. I would take the chance and buy another and another. I will never own anything but a Marmot tent for front country our Halo 6 and for backcountry camping our trusty marmot limelight.

It would be hugely helpful if someone could post a picture of the bent poles they keep finding and any effect they have on tent function. It is frustrating that the Marmot website is full of comments about bent poles, but nothing about solutions and no way of knowing how severely the bends affect the function of the tent.
