Why We Like The Tungsten UL Tent
Get some solitude in the mountains with this one-person, three-season tent. Its ultralight construction keeps your pack-weight down so you can bring along more of what you love for a relaxing weekend in beautiful, wild spaces. That means more books, delicious camp meals, and maybe a refreshing beverage or two. And those soon-to-be smelly folks who need a few months of solitude on the trail will love it too.

High expectations …
- Size Bought:

This review is based on an in-house inspection of my new purchase, not actual field use. Easy set up features. Unit offers much better ventilation than my three pound BD single skin tent at the same weight. I would just note that it would be wise to use all 10 stake-out points on this shelter for maximum stability in windy conditions. I found that the additional guy lines needed bring the total weight up to three pounds. I think this a better alternative to a bivy sack in warmer conditions for only a slight increase in weight. I’ll be taking it for its first test-drive this fall in the Tetons.

Exceeded expectation
Perfect for bikepacking, light weight and super packable. So much better than my old tent.

Great in a Downpour
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first time I got to use this tent was in a serious downpour that hit Black Moshannon State Park. I was there for a class on tracking for search and rescue. While this wasn't really a backpacking trip, I was obviously impressed by the weight. This little tent kept me dry all night. The vestibule area was big enough for me to put my Helinox chair with some gear on it. Gear and chair stayed dry as well. I love this tent!

Perfect lightweight waterproof tent.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tent is ultralightweight, waterproof, and comfortable. I even managed to squeeze a friend in it once. I don’t recommend doing that 😉 But I’ve used this tent in multiple national parks, through all sorts of weather and I couldn’t be happier!

Light and Reliable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tent is simple, light, and easy to set up. I used it on a 4 night backpacking trip and it was great. It packs small and kept my pack light. The bivy door had plenty of space for my pack and gear, and the tent felt spacious when inside. My only complaint is that even with a Tyvex footprint, I ended up getting a hole in the floor material. It is ultralight material, so I tried to be careful with it, so keep that in mind, you need be careful to keep the tent from getting too beat up.

best tent for sleeping on the floor in the woods
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this tent! Got it to replace an aging non-UL Tungsten 1p. The overall size/dimensions are a perfect balance between small/light pack-ability, but some actual livability (the poles fit in the frame bag on my size Large Karate Monkey too!) Given how poorly I sleep when I camp these days, it's fun to have a nice place to hang out while I spend most of the night wide awake. Plenty of room in the vestibule as well for making coffee-in-bed, or whatever else. On top of that, Marmot offers it in a spicy, yet subtle colorway that tips the scale from tolerable to full-on enjoyable! I'll likely also snag the 2p version for times when my partner wants to join. This is one of those rare products that truly checks all the boxes.

Tungsten Ultralight 1-Person Tent

Very good 1 person tent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried out my new Tungsten UL 1 person tent on a 10-day canoe trip. It was easy to pack and carry. Set up is very easy. The size is good with plenty of headroom. All of my gear fit in the vestibule. I left the fly off one evening and had a good view of the stars through the netting. The door opens easily and provides plenty of room for setting up your pad and sleeping bag. We only had one 20 minute rain shower and everything stayed dry. No problem with condensation on dewy mornings. I left off one star because I haven’t used it enough to judge the durability.

Used it on the hundred mile wilderness
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tent was great just the right size for one person fits perfectly in any nook or cranny and is very waterproof. It is as light as it gets for a free-standing tent allowing you to place it anywhere there is no soil to use tent pegs. From a cliff face to a ledge (most of Maine). On top of this the color makes it almost in visible to the passerby.

Great lite weight and compact tent!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this for a recent backpacking trip and it was perfect! Light weight and it held up to down pouring rain. I stayed nice and dry and cozy in this tent. I’ll be taking it to Isle Royale National Park this week and I’m sure it will be perfect

The back wall of the fly has a loop that is quite high off the ground. Do you recommend a guyline loop for this sewn-in loop in order to get a stake through it? or is there a trick to getting it lower to the ground so as to be able to stake it?

I was checked the Tungsten ul 1p tent. In the image related to the dimensions, are the widths in the image correct? You wrote in the picture that one side is 29 inches and the other side is 84 inches. Is this possible?

Can the footprint for the regular (non-UL) Tungsten 1P be used with the UL version? Is there any difference in the footprints?
