The Tungsten 4 Ultralight 2020 has two doors and a maximum center height of 4' 4, which is 11 inches smaller than the average height of the 140 other 4 person tents we have studied. With 54 square feet of room inside, it is considerably smaller than some other 4-person tents, and it would be quite tight for you and, up to three other campers during the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents like this one often can make a good choice for people that prefer spending heaps of time outside of their tent exploring.

A few of the cool points about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking not too heavy, making them easy to carry around. In most all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very simple to set up. In calm weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most common of all the different sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in the rain than other types, allowing rain to roll off the slanted walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, allowing the water to pool on the top. The most straightforward dome tent will have a rectangular floor, slanted walls a couple of poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Because of their construction, it is generally considered that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Tungsten Ultralight 2020 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. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Affords you a place to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big 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 gear.
4. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is easier 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 Polyester Ripstop, which is a substantially thick and high-strength fabric. Meaning the base is not prone to rips and punctures. Also, the material has a 2000 mm waterproofing rating, which is pretty good for most circumstances.
6. Breathable. The Tungsten's interior uses a mesh fabric on the inside of the tent, and this helps maximize the flow of air. With the extra ventilation, and this tent is great for use in the summer.

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 54 square feet, the Tungsten 4 is smaller than quite a few of the 140 other 4 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 11% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative factor for some campers.
3. No windows. With no windows it is not easy to keep the tent cool on a hot summers night.
4. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of Polyester Ripstop but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, more so on rough terrain.
5. Out of Stock. Unfortunately this particular tent is not currently in stock. It is still on the manufactures site the last time we checked.
6. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have heaps of things to be positive about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
