Marmot Nutshell

The Nutshell is a 3-season, 3-pole tent with a mesh upper body. The Hardshell is similar but has normal tent fabric instead of mesh. Both tents weigh in at just under 5 lbs with the body, poles, and rainfly.

This tent is great! It is a cinch to set up and is well made. Even with the rainfly on, the tent ventilates extremely well. I have used the tent in rain, snow, fair weather, hot weather, and extreme winds, all without a problem if properly staked and guyed out.

My only complaint is that the vestibule is small... a perfectly reasonable limitation for a 5 lb tent! It's hard to enter the exit the tent in the rain without getting a view drips in it.

Has 3 poles all different lengths, but still easy to set up.

1 pole fully sleeved, the other 2 have clips. Has several pockets on the inside for storage.

Plenty of mesh for summer ventilation. Very small vestibule, but has enough room inside for 1 person and gear.

Easily long enough for a 6'+ person without touching the ends. Good workmanship, and nice attention to detail. Only the fly and main floor seam are seam sealed. Not sure if this tent has now been replaced by another model...
