Tungsten 2P Hiking Tent

G'day Leigh,

Thanks for getting in touch, both the Tungsten 2P and Zeus tents are great options. It's definitely worth using the compare function on our website as that will help you to compare the tents. Size side their sleeping area is very similar, with only a few cms in each direction different. The Inner, Floor and Fly material on the Tungsten is a little thinner and therefore leads to the less overall weight. The waterproof rating on the Zeus is much higher, partially due to the heavier weight material, and therefore the heavier packed weight. We think both models are great so your decision probably comes down to overall weight.

G'day Sandra,

The Marmot Tungsten 2P Hiking Tent now just comes in the Orange Blaze Steel Colour. The Green colour has been discontinued so I will ask the team to remove that image from the listing to avoid confusion.

G'day Cameron,

Yep, you can pitch the Marmot Tungsten without the fly for use in warmer weather.

G'day Heather, 

I can see how that would be the case as the specs do look very similar so it can be difficult to tell the difference between the two. 

To put it as simply as possible, what sets the Limelight apart from the Tungsten, is that the Limelight has a larger internal volume. If you check out the 4th image on the Limelight's product page, you can see how the bend in the poles is a lot higher, which creates almost vertical walls. This makes it a very roomy tent for its size and weight.

The Limelight also has one very large door (and another smaller one) which makes it very easy to get in and out of. 

If you're just going to be sleeping in your tent on shorter expeditions, the Tungsten is a great choice. But, if you're going to be basically living in it on extended trips, you will appreciate the internal volume of the Limelight. 

G'day Nobunaga,

I've just measured the guy ropes on the Marmot Tungsten 2P Hiking Tent for you. As well as I could measure using my tape measure, they're around the 3mm mark. 

G'day Steve, 

I've just had a peek at the stock that we have of the Tungsten 2P and it looks like we only have this tent in the green colour shown on the website, which has the brighter coloured logo/strip on the door.
