Marmot Hammer 2 Person Dome Tent Review

The Hammer 2 has two doors and a maximum center height of 3' 7, which is a little bit less than the average height of the 215 different 2 person tents we have studied. With 38 square feet of space inside, it is a tiny bit larger than some other 2-person tents, and it should accommodate you and, another camper during the 4-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents similar to this one make an excellent choice for campers who enjoy spending loads of time outside the tent exploring.

Some of the fantastic things about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances not too heavy, making them simple to carry around. In near all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In good weather, you can do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are easily the most common of all the other types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in storms than other types, allowing rain to roll off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, allowing the water to pool on the roof. The most basic dome tent should have a square floor, slanted sides a couple of poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Due to their construction, it is usually thought of that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Hammer can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not even have to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the ground with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Gives you somewhere to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
3. Internal storage. It is nice to see Marmot has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your stuff.
4. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is simpler to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.
5. Durable, water-resistant floor. The floor material is 50-denier coated ripstop nylon, which is a substantially thick and high-strength fabric. Meaning the base is not prone to tears and punctures. Also, the material has a 10000 mm waterproofing rating, which is very good for most circumstances.

CONS

1. Lacking in Headroom. With 7% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative factor for some people.
2. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of 50-denier coated ripstop nylon but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, more so on rough terrain.
3. Out of Stock. Unfortunately this particular tent is not currently in stock. It is still on the manufactures site the last time we checked.
4. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many attributes to rave about. The sloping walls do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
