   It has room for one cot and then space for gear to be inside with me. Or ,if we use the doors on each side, so two people can get in and out, two cots fit, and gear can go under the rain fly outside the tent.

   Slightly more cumbersome to set up than a pop up tent

4. EVERYTHING you need to know about this tent! Is it worth it? Verified Buyer – 7 March 2025

   Received the tent today and on initial set up, it looks great! Seams look well sealed with good stitching. Not the lightest backpacking tent on the market, but definitely not heavy, either. Sets up extremely easily much like a traditional camping tent, 2 cross-poles and 1 pole to add additional room to the main vestibule. Only 7 stakes included so you will need to buy more to use guy lines. Love the colors of the tent, will make it easy to locate at night. The main vestibule is HUGE. 2 pockets on each side and 3 pockets in one corner. Also has a headlamp pocket to diffuse light so you don’t need a lamp. Biggest complaint: did not come with the included footprint, reached out to the manufacturer and will edit this after they reach out. Edit: Marmot was unable to assist but whatcampingtent.com made sure we got taken care of super quickly! The footprint is durable and lightweight, has grommets and a spot for stakes so you don’t need additional stakes for the footprint, just use the same you have for the tent.

   Günstiges Zelt, durchaus viel Raum, aber windige Verarbeitung. Ich möchte damit eher keine Sturm o.ä. erleben.

   Easy setup, well made

   El único fallo que le veo es que no tiene ventilación ninguna. En los videos salen 3 varillas. Pero me enviaron unas que vienen en cruz unidas. Seguramente os versión.

   I struggled for a long time trying to find a tent for a family gathering. I finally settled on this one and am glad I did. It is easy to set up and doesn’t take much space in my car. It’s super cute too!

   Estoy sorprendido por el tiempo de entrega; la esperaba para el próximo martes, pero llegó hace unas horas. Ya la armé, y es tal como la vi en el video. Es más larga de lo que pensaba, pero realmente cumple con mis expectativas. Ahora solo queda probarla en los próximos meses. Por ahora, ha superado lo que esperaba.

   I’m surprised by the delivery time; I was expecting it next Tuesday, but it arrived a few hours ago. I’ve already assembled it, and it’s just like I saw in the video. It’s longer than I thought, but it truly meets my expectations. Now, I just need to test it over the next few months. So far, it has exceeded what I expected.

   Si tengo alguna queja, la compartiré aquí. Gracias, vendedor.

   If I have any complaints, I will share them here. Thank you, seller.

    Der Aufbau ist relativ einfach, lässt sich aber besser zu zweit bewerkstelligen.
    Größe und Gewicht sind packfreundlich.
    Der Ausgang liegt zur Seite und nicht nach vorne, sodass man über die andere Person steigen muss.

    The tent only came with 6 stakes. It takes a minimum of 9 to stake this out. And more if the wind is blowing. Typical Marmot quality. This is the best bang-for-your- buck tent out there. IMHO

    I have slept in my 3p Marmot Catalyst about 25 nights, at this point. From the time it was brand new, this tent leaked at all four corners and both doors. Now, I understand there are a lot of reviews for this tent which do not mention leaks. I am at a loss to explain.

    I did contact Marmot, and after jumping through some hoops, they did issue a credit. They had no explanation for why my tent leaks.

    BTW…good luck getting three adults into this thing. But, that now seems to be the norm for all brands/models of 3-person tents. While I would not call it snug for two…it is not at all “roomy” for two.
