Marmot Aura 2P 3-Season Backpacking Tent

Product Highlights

New for 2008! With a lightweight design and maximum breathability, the Marmot Aura 2P is a perfect option for 3-season backpacking. An innovative pole design maximizes livability while keeping packed weight to just over 4 pounds.

Easily accessed on either side by dual mesh doors, the interior of the Aura 2P offers 30.5 sq. ft. of floor space. Dual vestibules provide weather-protected entryways to the interior of the tent and add an additional 18 sq. ft. of covered storage space. An optional gear loft (sold separately) clips into the ceiling of the Aura 2P and serves as an out-of-the-way storage option.

The unique, pre-bent "knees" of the Aura 2P's DAC NSL aluminum poles pull the tent body taut, avoiding the creation of unusable corners frequently found inside less innovative tents and maximizing the livability of the interior of the Aura 2P.

Extensive mesh on the walls and ceiling of the Aura 2P ensures excellent ventilation and keeps condensation to a minimum. The weatherproof floor of the Aura 2P combines with the rainfly's ripstop nylon fabric and silicone/polyurethane coating to protect the interior of tent.

Employing integrated clips, the body of the Aura 2P attaches quickly, easily and securely to the poles. The freestanding design enables you to set up the tent and then move it around your chosen campsite to find the optimal rock-and-root-free position.

A compatible, custom-fit footprint (sold separately) can be used to further protect the floor of the Marmot Aura 2P from sharp objects, mud and ground water. For those backpackers who want to further reduce packed weight, the rainfly of the Aura 2P can be used with just the footprint to serve as a minimalist, ultra-lightweight shelter.
