From Backcountry.com:
"Large double vestibules, two doors, and tons of interior space make the Marmot Twilight 2-Person 3-Season Tent a top choice for rainy days in camp. The Twilight Tent easily holds your backpacks, shoes, and other gear under the 21.7sq feet of vestibule space, and the steep end walls allow campers to sit up for an intense card game. Marmot used a clip pole system on this double-wall tent to make setup fast and simple because seconds count when rain starts soaking your gear."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The Twilight, with its innovative hub pole system, is a roomy, lightweight backpacking tent with a large vestibule for keeping packs and boots dry. Backpacker Magazine has elected the Twilight as a best buy.From Backpacker Magazine: 'This tapered dome is the best all-around two-person, three-plus-season tent we've seen for roominess, weather-resistance, and practicality, our testers concluded after trips through the Everglades, Glacier, and Big Bend, where it stood up to 30 mph winds. Twin entrances make for easy exits, and the large vestibules offer beaucoup room for packs and wet gear. The mesh ceiling ventilated well on steamy, wet nights, but nylon side panels lower down kept wind and sand at bay during gusty storms.'"

"So I haven't used the tent on the trail yet, but just received it yesterday and set it up in my apartment. I'm giving it 5 stars for now and if need be, I'll change it after I make use of the tent this weekend.

I'm giving it such a high grade because the tent's size to weight ratio is phenomenal."

"A great tent for a great price. It appears to "list" at a very high price, but lots of sites sell it for something in the $200 range.

Just brought the Twilight 2P for a camping trip in Red Rock Canyon, NV, and it was wonderful. Slept two people and a small(ish) dog inside without a complaint."

"After using this tent on a trip that included a nasty storm, I'm completely confident in any storm I would find myself in (I don't go out on a weekend hike if the weather predicts a nor-easter). I find that this tent doesn't have the same headroom as other tents with this headroom, but the floorspace is more than adequate."

"I spent a lot of time looking at different models; including; The Big Agnes Seedhouse SL3, Mountain Hardware Hammerhead 2, MSR Hubba Hubba – admittedly these are all great tents. The Seedhouse is very light weight, and well ventilated. The Hammerhead is stable, roomy and well ventilated, The Hubba is well ventilated and light weight."

"This is a great tent! It is very roomy and the vestibules are huge. I previously had a one-person solo tent that was just too cramped. After using this tent I was astounded how much more I got for nearly the same pack weight and size as my single person tent."

"Great tent! The first night in it we got sleet, rain, and woke up to 8 inches of snow. The forecast called for a light wintry mix ... go figure! Everything stayed dry and even though I was worried about it, the weight of the very wet snow did no damage to the tent or the poles. Set up is what I would classify as "silly simple.""

Reviewed by an anonymous hiker, Dec 30, 2006

"This is an awesome tent. Fast to go up, roomier than it looks and with a few nice extras like colour-coded tent pole tips. On one trip we were stuck in the pouring rain for four days. At the end I was the only one without a puddle in my tent--and all the other tents were good quality makes as well."
