Tent - 3-person Marmot Tent for Backpacking

This a specialty, pretty expensive tent that is well worth it for some backpackers. This tent is a Marmot Aeros 3P, a long name for a roomy, ultralight tent that fits 3 hikers comfortably but only weighs about 6 pounds. Many two-person tents weigh that much!

This is the perfect tent for two backpackers that want more room than offered by two solo tents or a two-person tent, or three backpackers that want to save money and travel light without giving up comfort and protection from the elements. It is also free-standing (no stakes needed and can be moved around if need be) and most of our backpacking tents require stakes. If you are car camping, there’s no need to pay the extra cost for this tent; rent our 3-person car camping tent instead.

This tent is rated as “Three-Season”, but with aerodynamic design and low profile should protect you just fine even in high, cold winds if the fly cover is used and you use the provided stakes. Heavy snows could be a problem if allowed to stack up on top. If you find yourself in a heavy snow one night, you should get up every now and then and brush it off. A few inches shouldn’t hurt it.

Manufacturer Specs: (note: weight is as packaged; may be less in field. L/W dimensions are maximums at either side and may not be that long or wide the entire side of the tent. The interior height listed is usually at just one peak point and will slope lower from there. See pictures for more reference.
