MARMOTMidpines 4P/6P Camping Tents & Footprints

I have always had good luck with Marmot gear. This tent is no exception. Only issue with this tent is not enough lines or stakes. Not hard to fix. It comes with 5 stakes, 4 lines. Really needs 12 stakes and extra lines to totally secure everything if you are in really bad weather.

Great quality no leaks easy to put together

We bought this to take my 5 year old on short backpacking trips. It's not really a backpacking tent, but it's not horribly heavy, and has plenty of room for the three of us and my big dog. We tend to do a lot of our camping on the shoulder seasons, though, and this did not perform well in the rain. The vestibule slants over a wall of screen, so it's impossible to get in and out of the tent without letting in all the rain, and the fly drips into the tent to add even more water. It also came with guy lines that are needed for the rain fly, but it didn't come with enough stakes to use those guy lines. We were fine, but I definitely woke up to a small puddle in the tent in the morning. I'm hoping we can find a way to make it work with more stakes, and possibly adding a tarp, but overall, this seems to be a summer tent. It will be great for beautiful weather, but that's not when we do most of our camping and backpacking.

The media could not be loaded.  I got this tent for Christmas so I decided to go camping in the outer banks in North Carolina. 2nd night we experienced 35+ mph winds for at least 5 hours non stop in a wide open area and the tent stood strong. I did however purchase 12" tent spikes separately instead of using the ones that came with the tent. I would recommend doing this.. I was actually very impressed. Would recommend.

I read the reviews about bent poles and gave this a try hoping it wouldn’t happen to me, but i was wrong. I set it up at home once to inspect it and everything looked great, went camping for the first time with it last weekend and one of the main poles bent when i set it up. Im not sure what the problem is, but it damaged two sections of the poles. I have set up every style of tent i am aware of over the years, literally 100s of times and never had this experience. I believe the aluminum poles are weak for this tent. I have tried to contact marmot but was told they were having technical difficulties, try again later. I will update this review after I've had s chance to speak with their warranty department.

Used it for a couple days in foggy / rainy conditions and it held up better than expected.

Love this tent! Fantastic quality

This tent is excellent! Had a very severe thunderstorm that lasted over an hour with wind and very heavy rain,tent did not get a drop of water in it! What I don't like is this model has been discontinued and cannot find replacement poles anywhere!I called Marmot and they gave me a company for poles,contacted the company and they have no poles for this model,first setup a pole bent. Be careful on first setup,hard to determine where poles go,they should have made pole sleeves a different color..otherwise,excellent tent
