The Marmot Swallow is a versatile tent that successfully battles any bad weather you might encounter.

The Marmot Swallow 3P Tent

In almost any kind of weather, under most conditions, and converted to suit your every need, both the Marmot Swallow 2P are miracle workers.

With plenty of elbow room on the inside, and superb protection from the elements on the outside, you may find yourself too comfy to leave your tent when the day's begun.

Not quite as lightweight (7 lbs 10 oz packaged) as other Marmot 2-person tents (like the Marmot Alpinist tent), the Swallow is still very portable and small.

But the best reason to consider the Marmot Swallow over its competitors is its extraordinary adaptability.

Whether you're sleeping the cold, in the rain, or in the humid heat, the Marmot Swallow tent can be converted to suit your needs.

Marmot is known for high quality in design and performance, and the Swallow is a winning example of just why that's true.

Marmot Swallow Tent Review

This shelter is a great product for every kind of camping enthusiast (from beginner to fanatic). A few of the Marmot Swallow tent's greatest benefits include:

• • Temperature Control- Keep warm or stay cool with the Marmot Swallow

• Ultra Quick Assembly- No fuss, no mess, just shelter.

That aside, the Marmot Swallow  2P tent allows you a lot of control over the interior temperature. It will keep you toasty warm during cold nights, while nice and cool in summer afternoons.

While it certainly isn't too heavy to take along the trails, it does tend to drag you down a bit.
