Marmot Catalyst 2 Person Tent, Red Sun/Cascade Blue

I loved this tent, have used it about four times now. This was the first time I have encountered any rain and it leaked. After a night of light but steady, no wind, I woke up to find a small puddle in front of the door and a couple of small leaks in two corners. The tent had been put up correctly on the included for print and fully zipped up. The fly seemed to absorb the rain rather than repel it... Water soaked from outside through the material of the inner toggle for holding up the fly door and dripped into the main tent. It's also seeped in at the corners.

I have not tried it yet but it should be a great extra tent to have for friends and family

Easy setup, good seams, just over 5 lb total. It's a great tent

This tent was perfect for my solo glamping trip to Yosemite. Setup was easy and the color coded tabs were helpful. I liked the two vestibules and apprecited the included footprint. A couple more stakes would have been handy.

I carried this tent on my 3 day Pemi loop trek. Stayed two nights prior in it camping with my finance. The tent seems to be the perfect size for 1-2p without too much stuff. Kept dry, super easy to set up, especially by yourself with only a headlamp. I'd recommend something lighter for true backpacking trips, but, if you have claustrophobia issues, this tent offers plenty of room, and might be worth the 6lbs (with poles on my scale) for comfort. I'm using this as our main tent for treks less than 40 miles til I can afford something as quality but lighter.

Although we haven't yet been on a backpacking trip, we tried it out in an overnighter, in our backyard. We had ample room for our packs, both in the tent and the vestibule. I love the pockets and the center hook for hanging our light. I think I'll enjoy it. The rain cover was fine

The catalyst is a solid tent that offers plenty of covered space. Well constructed and is worth the little bit of extra weight it carries. One downside is does not come with enough stakes

I really enjoyed this tent from the time I set it up in the house to my first camping trip with it. Easy to set up and I like the different ways you can configure the rain fly and vestibules. Thanks for the footprint too! I can see this tent being very warm and lacks some ventilation options other than the vestibules, the roll back option of the rain fly was nice and certainly let in much needed fresh air but there's no other ventilation available. Overall a great tent to get myself back into the outdoors, looking forward to using it more.

We bought our first Catalyst 2 person tent in 2018 for our son's scout campouts. He has used the tent 5-6 times per year since. It's been perfect for him and his fellow scouts to share for several years now. When our daughter recently needed a tent of her own, it was an easy decision for us to buy another Catalyst 2. I'm sure we'll have similar success with this one.

Went o a two day camping trip and the Catalyst was east to carry and assemble. One person can set it up with no problem. It rained one night and me and my dog were dry as a bone. My gear stayed dry as well due to the roomy vestibule. Highly recommended!!

My daughter and I have taken our tent to the Grand Canyon and Superior Hiking Trail multiple times. It's light weight, keeps you dry and easy to put up.

Spacious considering the size, packs down small and room in the stuff sack for my sleeping pad. Easy to set up and take down.

I just recently purchased this tent and I could not be more pleased. I had been searching for a new 2-person for both car camping and backpacking. It fulfills both of those purposes. Although I haven't had it in the rain yet, I feel confident in its ability, with its sturdy construction. Very easy to set up as well.

This tent is been awesome! Absolutely put it through the ringer. From full blown winter storm to blazing desert heat. Lightweight enough for me. Little bit tight for two people but I don't care there's just enough room in the vestibule for gear. No issues with zippers of materials! Awesome tent.

I have used this tent for years on trips ranging from over a weekend to week long. While it's small, the tent is roomy enough for gear and the extra space in the vestibule comes in extra handy for longer term gear. Easy to pitch and never have had any problems except I have had to replace the poles. Again, great tent!

Great overall tent. Easy to set up and comfortable in light snow and hot weather.
