"I've cycled for years with a Marmot bivy tent and found it to be very reliable but cramped. I found a Marmot Asylum without poles and made poles to fit, all at the right price, free!

I just finished a winter tour of the Sonora desert and the tent was great."

"The tent is made of quality stuff and is not so difficult to set up -- thought the ventilator pole does not stay up so easily. Another problem is that unless one pitches the window awning carefully, one can easily suffocate as it covers the window completely."

"Excellent construction, quality materials, and easy setup. I use year around on backpacking trips. The tent has a window in the rear and one over the door. The door itself can be zipped down to increase ventilation through the netting. I've never felt like venilation was poor at all."

"I purchased this tent for use in fast winter assaults in deep snow and high wind conditions. It hasn't disappointed me. The Asylum is light, durable, easy to set-up, highly wind-resistant, and readily sheds snow. Moreover, the interior fabric does not accumulate condensation (as advertised), is soft and warm to the touch even at sub-zero temperatures, and doesn't give you that annoying flapping noise in the wind."

"This tent is bomber. I have had it in severe winter conditions in high winds and never a single problem. Never a leak. Never a rip. The set up is easy once you know what you are doing (and it only took 1 set up to know that), it is light and the vestible is large enough to cook in and store extra gear. Venting worked very well. Recommended."

"I picked this tent up on my AT thru hike.

The tent performed very well. I was nervous about using a single wall in the summer, but condensation was no problem.

The tent is similar to a Bibler Eldorado, but includes the removable vestibule and has a rear window."
