I backpacked for the first time last August. Knowing nothing about backpacking tents, I bought the Marmot EOS because I liked the colors of the tent, the freestanding design, and the light weight. It was very easy to set up. Only complaint is that I cannot sit up in the tent without my head rubbing against the tent ceiling.

It rained all night the first time I used the tent and not one drop came in. I especially liked the fact that the nylon tent material meets the mesh halfway up the sides of the tent to prevent the rain blowing in under the fly from getting me wet. The bright colored fly also helped me find my tent after a nature call. I am pleased with my purchase.
