Marmot Halo Tent Reviews, 4 And 6 Person Marmot Tent

The Marmot Halo 4 and 6 tent have features designed to provide a solid shelter, these Marmot tent models receive rave reviews, so we checked out why.

From it's inception in 1874 the Marmot company has been known for manufacturing high quality top of the line clothing and equipment.

Their tents have appeared everywhere from river valleys to mountain tops, to sunny beaches.

Here is a look at two Marmot Halo tents, the 4 and 6 man.

Marmot Halo Review

The Marmot Halo 6 is designed for group camping. Whether it is a group of friends scaling that mountain peak or the family vacation in a pristine park this top of the line tent is loaded with features.

• DAC poles with press inserts for increased durability
• zip open and close canopy panels
• 2 door
• 2 Vestibules
• taped fly seams
• fly vent for better ventilation
• Ground level side vents
• Inside storage pockets
• 75 inch center tent height
• Maximum Weight: 19 lbs 7 oz / 8.817 kg --- Minimum Weight: 18 lbs 15 oz / 8.59 kg

Priced at $500.00 dollars this tent is a lot of tent for the money. Though sold as a dome tent many reviewers state that the extra head room makes this tent feel like a cabin tent.

Reviewers were overwhelmingly positive about this tent and a large number of great things to say about it.

• Great ventilation (more than half the reviews mentioned that this Marmot tent had great ventilation the best they had ever seen in a tent in some cases.)
• Outstanding headroom ( Being able to actually walk around standing up in this tent made for a lot of happy campers.)
• Easy set up
• Light weight
• Great in all kinds of weather
• One reviewer even stated that this tent was so well made that they felt this would be the last tent she and her husband would ever have to buy.

Unbelievable as it may sound there were hardly any negative reviews to be found. One person did rate this the 6 man Marmot Tent, stating that the tent leaked all over. However, considering the number of users who used this tent in downpours and remained completely dry it is suspected that this reviewer may have gotten a poor individual tent and that the leakage problem is not a problem with the overall design or most of the 6 person tents.

The Marmot Halo 4 person Tent is priced at around $400.00 and like the 6 man version of this tent is packed with plenty of features including

• DAC poles
• Adjustable corner stake loop
• Combo clips and continuous tent pole sleeves
• Large mesh panel
• fly vent
• 2 interior mesh pockets
• 2 large circle doors

• Flash light loop
• 59" of headroom
• Fire retardant material
• Maximum Weight: 13 lbs 9 oz / 6.152 kg --- Minimum Weight: 12 lbs 14 oz / 5.84 kg

Although Marmot designed this tent for family camping it has many features seen in expedition tents including the sturdy pole design and the floor level vents.

Like the larger 6 man Marmot Halo tent the 4 man received rave reviews from users. There seems like there was absolutely nothing users did not like about this tent and here are some of the positive things they had to say.

• easy to set up
• highest quality materials
• spaciousness (One reviewer commented that several other campers where they were camping thought this was a 6 man tent.)
• Pockets (reviews loved the extra pockets and flash light loop that helps to keep everything at hand and organized.)
• Holds up great in weather.

Conclusion:

It seems that the Marmot company did everything right in designing the 4 and 6 man Marmot tent.

The fact that there were few if any serious negatives that users found in either of these tents is testimony to their great design and construction.

It is rare to see such positive reviews of any type of product and the fact that the Marmot Halo 4 and 6 tent received such outstanding reviews speaks for itself.

If you are looking for a high quality, durable family tent that has the capabilities for extending camping trips or even to be used for expeditions you couldn't choose a better tent than this.

Though this tent is priced a bit high, the quality of the Marmot Halo tent is certainly worth every penny.
