Marmot: Fortress

Marmot: Fortress

Finding yourself under siege by wind, rain and the forces of nature? The Marmot Fortress could be your castle away from home, a sturdy two man four-season stronghold buttressed with enough reinforcements to withstand the worst weather attacks.

The Fortress features an internal guy system for increased structural integrity and five sturdy 9 mm. Pressfit poles rather than the three poles found in similar three-season tents. The 38 sq. ft. floor area (with 10 sq ft. vestibule) includes wall and ceiling pockets for storage and an adjustable airflow ventilator for increased comfort. The Silicon-treated, jungle-free zippers minimize noise and risk of icing while the locking pole tips allow for easy setup. A repair kit is normally included should nature breach your defenses.

The Marmot Fortress weighs in at 9 lb. 9 oz. and packs down to 8 in. x 20 in. Available for Purchase here
