Here's what other sites are saying:

From Campmor:
"The Marmot Twilight 2 tent sleeps 2 campers and even gives them room for extra gear by giving them each their own vestibule of 10.5 sq.ft. Featuring an all mesh roof the Twilight 2 is well ventilated and by leaving the fly off is great for stargazing. Perhaps the best feature is the easy set up because all the shockcorded aluminum poles are connected by rugged aluminum hubs, speeding and easing assembly. Set up is made easier still because there are no sleeves, just clips which also let more air move under the fly reducing condensation. The full coverage polyester fly provides complete weather protection, won't stretch and resists UV breakdown. As an added bonus the Twilight comes with a FREE nylon Footprint and a FREE Gear Loft for a combined $50 retail value. Sleeps 2 FREE nylon Footprint protects the tent from rips, holes and abrasions and keeps the floor clean FREE Gear Loft helps you keep your tent organized and neat Main fly and floor seams are factory taped for extreme weather protection Bathtub floor - all floor seams are off the ground for superior water protection 2 doors & 2 vestibules (10 sq.ft each) for easy access and gear storage Full coverage Ripstop polyester fly gives complete weather protection Tent frame is completely connected together by 3 rugged lightweight aluminum hubs for fast & easy set up DAC Featherlite shockcorded aluminum poles for greater strength to weight ratio FREE standing 1 clear window on the fly Adjustable corner stake loops for easy tensioning of the tent body.

"I bought this tent two years ago and have never regretted it. I got it in February and my wife and I were so excited we set it up in our snow free back yard to try it out. We awoke to find that four inches of snow fell that night and did not notice."

"We got this tent four years ago, along with the now-discontinued Twilight 3P. We have used it backpacking and car camping in all kinds of weather.

One trip to the Smokies, it rained for three days straight. On the fourth day, we were not only dry as a bone, but had the campground to ourselves."

"I've been enjoying this tent on a cross country trip involving hot and cold nights.

Pros:

Amazingly easy to setup. I often arrive at campsites in the dark and can set this tent up by myself in dim light in less than 10 minutes. I'll also note that shutdown is just as easy and I'm very comfortable packing it up quickly in a way that stores well and allows quick re-setup at the next sight."

"I used this produce on a week long bike trip across Iowa. Overall, the tent stood up to incredible demands. On two separate occasions the tend stood up to sustained 30 mph winds with gusts exceeding 50 mph. Inside of the tent, I had no idea that the wind had even gotten that bad."

"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."

"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.""

"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."
