Marmot Halo 4p tent. First impressions.

In our last trip in Pindos mountain our shelter of choice for four nights was the Marmot halo 4p tent. We did not experience any rain (only slight) but we had low temperatures and the last day when the temp dropped at 0 degrees Celsius  we had ice covering everything. The tent is listed as a three season tent but it held its own with no problem whatsoever.

I suspect that in heavy snow all the tents that have a lot of mesh might experience problems with ice melting from the top of the mesh (even though there is always a rain cover, this is not attached to the mesh and during freezing temperatures ice could be formed on top of the mesh canopy).

The Marmot Halo four person tent is one of the strongest shelters in the entire Marmot tent line.  Although Marmot designed this tent for family camping it has many features seen in expedition tents including the sturdy pole design and the floor level vents.

Marmot is a company that understands the virtues of making camping tents that assemble quickly, easily, and with minimal effort. 

With a floor area of 64 square feet, the interior is as spacious as they come. The comfort and spaciousness is mostly due to the unique design of the tent’s poles. With much steeper vertical lines than other shelters on the market, the Halo 4 tent takes advantage of every nook to provide all the room you need.

Just bear in mind that due to its hefty weight,  it is not a tent for backpacking. But for car camping it is a great choice.

Even though we have not done any extensive use of the tent we feel safe to say that if you are looking for a high quality, durable family tent that has the capabilities for extending camping trips or even to be used for expeditions (as many reports around the net state) then you can not go wrong with this tent.

Though it is priced a bit high, the quality of the Marmot Halo tent is obvious once you settled in and certainly worth every penny.

Below is a short overview of the tent.  I took my position behind the camera and let Claudia do the “heavy lifting”
