Good stuff Marmot makes nice tents. I bought on from Sam's club for $99 this spring. A lower model but a beautiful tent!

Minimum Trail Weight
5 lbs. 14.9 oz.

It's on the heavier side for a backpacking tent.

More like 7lbs total packed weight. Could definitely save a lot of weight by spending twice more with half the weight. Copper Spur Limited 3 Tent with Footprint https://mobile.rei.com/AkCd/a45j91ak

It's a good "3 person" car camping tent.

I have the copper spur ul3 and it's a nice tent but it's snug for 3 people. I used it for 2 people.

I would suggest Durston if you have 1 or 2 people. I also have the x-dome 2 and it actually fits 2 people comfortably and is lighter than the copper spur ul3.

Sigh every year that copper spur gets more expensive. I remember some version 5 years ago and that tent was $300.

Love Marmot gear but I don't get that weirdly shaped cubby corner on this model. What's the point, storage?

yeah, it has those "wings" on both sides. They work really well for two people to have their own "cubbies" per se. Love it for water and books and such.

Great Tent. Got one "used" but basically new in the REI used section about 3 years ago and it's still going after at least 50 or so car camping trips. Only a few small holes to patch this whole time. Decent deal!
