Marmot Force 2P
If you sleep better knowing you're in a fuss-free fortress, this two-person tent is the one for you.

Model: Force 2P Tent
Pole structure
Using poles that extend to all four corners, this freestanding structure pitches easily, anywhere.
Doors
Crawling in is a bit cumbersome. The doors are small and low.
Interior space
The 29-square-foot floor is adequate, but the 38-inch peak height cramps even average-size occupants. “I couldn’t sit up without hitting the ceiling, and it’s really hard for two people to change clothes simultaneously without elbowing each other,” reports one 5’9” tester.
Weather protection
The Force’s fly prevents drips from entering, and its lower profile makes it even more immune to big winds. It proved rock-solid through 30-mph winds along Arizona’s Grandview Trail.
Vestibules
Asymmetrical vestibules (6.8 and 3.5 square feet) fit boots and packs (in the larger one), though getting in and out with gear stored there was a battle.
Durability
The 30-denier ripstop nylon (40-denier for the floor) and 8.7- to 9.3mm poles stand up to abuse.
Pockets
You get two mesh pockets in the corners and an overhead pocket where you can stash a headlamp-turned-lantern up high.
