By far best tent yet!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So easy to set up but make sure you check on youtube once again before heading on your trip. The radius is very comfortable and makes it feel much bigger then its floor area. It fits our 4 person situation (2 adults with 2 kids), which is 2x queen size inflatable mattresses stuck to one another, and leaves space ion front for our stuff. My only reason for the 4-star rating is that i wish Marmot made an 8 person tent, for extra comfort..

Roomy, and a BREEZE to set up given the size!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 6 Marmot tents and this one doesn't disappoint! despite it's enormous space, it's very easy to set up. While shopping for a tent big enough for 2 people and 4 large dogs, I went through a lot! I was looking at a North Face one, but again, Marmot and the double walls, wins! ThIs vestibule is quite large and has a lot of options. It also has ample fly venting which some tents had zero on their fly's! My only gripe is the half window covering in the back, but I just hang a lightweight fabric over it if I need the privacy and open rain fly. It's a very roomy and fantastic tent! I love Marmot!

Easy setup!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Color coded poles make setup a breeze. I did need a little help from my wife to put up the fly but all and all very easy. We have only had a chance to set the tent up and let the kids check it out, but we are all looking forward to warmer weather so we can try it out for real.

Halo tent old version vs newest version

Its a beautiful tent. I have had a previous Halo tent for 6 years which I have really enjoyed. I love all the improvements in particular with the mesh on the doors with the ability to cover for privacy. I appreciate the door zippers and how the entire area can be opened. However, I took a star away because with the larger doors there was a loss of pockets from my previous version. The biggest negative is the height of the tent. Our previous version my 6ft husband could stand up throughout most of the tent space. In the new version he can not stand up straight comfortability even in the middle. I will concede that the height of the previous tent likely affected its ability to withstand wind. Our last tent struggled in Joshua Tree and I'm hopeful this new version will do better.

Wow again rain, but cross venting in humidity

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great tent overall. Went camping in the winter for over 20 days on the beaches and state parks on Big Island of Hawaii— which means rain, humidity, sand, heat, lots of more rain and sand. We had 6 people; two adults, 4 kids. Here is the take: Rain? This tent is Amazing under rain. It poured and poured for days, several times a day. No water problems. We had other campers who ended up going to a hotel after one night’s deluge. We helped them clean up in the morning and their tent floor was soaked with a huge puddle on the tent floor. Ours? Nothing at all. Even with the vestibule open to the elements in order to get some air venting. Five stars on the rain issue. Venting, then becomes the counter-point. As I said, it gets hot and humid and with that many bodies in a humid tropical rainstorm it’s sweaty. The front vestibule is brilliant, but the side windows don’t vent well and the rear is tricky to open during a rainstorm because it will cause leaks. Problem? Not much cross-venting possible. So the heat and humidity is trapped. Especially during a rainstorm. Perhaps I’m asking too much. It’s an incredible tent and I don’t think the competition can do any better.

Love My Marmot Halo 6P Tent!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this tent after thorough research, and it truly exceeded my expectations. Over the past 3 years, I've embarked on solo camping trips with this tent, and it has proven to be nothing short of amazing. Even during heavy downpours/thunder, I didn't use any additional tarps, and yet the interior remained perfectly dry. Setting it up is a breeze - I manage it all by myself! I'm careful with maintenance, ensuring it's cleaned and packed properly after each camping season. If you're considering it, go ahead without hesitation. The quality is exceptional, and the warm tones inside create a beautiful ambiance to wake up to. Moreover, on rain-free summer nights, removing the fly offers an amazing view of the stars through the mesh ceiling.

No fuss/high quality tent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just used this for my first ever camping trip in the Blue Ridge Mountains with two young kiddos. Very east setup once you figure out how to orient the rain fly. Withstood the kiddos plus rain and 18 degree overnight lows. Had absolutely zero issues with it and it’s very easy to adjust to the conditions. We even ate breakfast one morning in the vestibule to avoid the cold morning. The upper shelves are kind of small and not oriented vertical enough to be pockets so not sure how I’ll use those in the future but very minor considering.
