Marmot Pulsar 2P Tent - Review

  • 2013-07-15 09:24:20

    Marmot Pulsar 2P Tent Review I have recently been testing the Marmot Pulsar 2P Tent which weighs in at just 1.8 kg. The weight savings is welcome for this ageing backpacker as too is the reduced stuff size of the Pulsar Tent. In order to achieve these reduced numbers one would think Marmot would have to strip features down to the bare bone but not so with the Marmot Pulsar 2P Tent.


    While this is a single door and technically a single vestibule tent it still offers may conveniences and niceties of much heavier tents on the market. As with every Marmot tent, the Pulsar 2P is made of durable fabrics and poles; in this case it is a 40 denier fabric and quality DAC poles. There are two large mesh pockets conveniently located inside in opposing corners for stashing small quick access items. The design itself offers plenty of vertical room, even at the foot end thanks to Marmot's unique inverted footbox design.


    Plenty more to read over here in the full review.
