Eos 2P Tent - 2-Person by Marmot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nice looking, nice weighing. Marmot must, however, be a bit out to lunch on their gear field testing. The tent basically includes an oval "rain catcher" on the top which does not shed water and leads to water forcing the fly to sag a bit.Staking and tying out the sides of the fly is also critical because the tent not only touches the fly at the ends but it is also not fully covered by the fly, this leads to a condition called wet, down bag in a rainstorm. Because the tent is almost all mesh, where there is no fly coverage or close to no coverage (in windy conditions), there is water. Also, it would be nice to tie off both the tent and the vestibule doors when they are open. There is some sort of cordage with a plastic clamp, but I have yet to figure out how it serves a purpose. If the"tie offs" are there for a reason it certainly doesn't say so in the brief set-up instructions. The tent is tiny. Good luck manuvering in the thing, let alone sitting up in it. Luckily my girlfriend is 5' 2", so we could use it as it's stated "2-person tent". If, you happen to be average size, the tent is a "one person" tent. The zippers are junky and snag often. The pole configuaration is strong and nifty looking, it might serve it's purpose better if it were used as a sculptural mobile. I give the tent 2 stars only because of it's light weight and Bukminster Fuller theme.
