"Heavy on features...and weight" - Review of Marmot Swallow 2-Person 3-Season Tent

I have the 2003 version of this tent and have gotten quite a bit of use out of it over the years. The tent body and especially the fly are very durable and versatile, with plenty of storage space and ventilation options. If you are not expecting rain, the tent body is plenty to cut wind and keep you warm. The bathtub floors, heavy fly and stake-down options make the Swallow a true 3+ season tent. It was quite comfortable and warm when I brought it snow camping and the vestibule space easily accommodated all our gear and boots. The two biggest downsides of this tent are that it's quite heavy and hard to pack into the "burrito cover" Marmot gives you when out in the field. On the flip side, if you are looking for a durable, comfortable, well-designed tent to use year-round and you are not so concerned about weight, this is a great option. By far one of the most well-designed tents I have used.
