Great lightweight tent
By Corey and Monica on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2020
We picked the Marmot Crane Creek 3P UL model during Prime week. Great tent but arrived damaged (tiny holes/cuts in rain fly). Waiting for replacement from Amazon.We’ll be using this tent for me and my wife and a medium dog, upgrading from old first-gen REI Half-Dome 3 (old version with tiny window and condensation issues) and a Trango 3 (heavy arctic all weather). Love the light weight, currently weighs 5lbs/1oz in it’s originally packed state (everything in without trying to minimize weight) and 5lb12oz with footprint (not included). Overall it’s very roomy and airy and light, tremendous upgrade from our old tent. Tent is mostly mesh, see through but not invisible, mesh is thin/light/stretchy, seems durable. Love the diffuser pocket on the top. Four decent sized pockets in the tent, one in each corner. Comes with six light stakes, four guy lines with four tensioner, a small repair pole tube (hope we never have to use). Roomier than what I was expecting. Looks like it will fit us all with some gear, backpacks stored in the vestibule area. Love the two door design, it’s symmetric, we each get our own vestibule storage space and our own door/exit.Bottom of tent is well sealed. We haven’t tested it in the rain yet, but other reviewers say this tent handles rain and moisture very well, so that’s good (if it doesn’t I’ll update this review).Incredibly fast and easy to set up and is mostly freestanding, except for rain fly/vestibule and guy lines. Set it up in my small living room in a few minutes. Intuitive, didn’t have to read directions. I like the swivel connector between the two main poles. Seems sturdy enough, but I hope this connector doesn’t end up breaking.The bad...Arrived with damaged rain fly (sections with small cuts/holes/lacerations, looks like a machine chomped it up). I’m assuming this is a fluke since I didn’t see this problem with any other reviews, and it was easy to replace through Amazon.It doesn’t have everything you need. You need to buy a footprint and more stakes, and you might want to buy an repair kit. Floor material is thin, so you’ll probably need to buy the footprint ($50) to protect it. You’ll need to buy at least four more stakes for the guy lines (I got a pack of MSR groundhog mini, $20, but you can get cheaper).Lastly, the floor and walls seem durable but very thin, which is great for weight, but I’m a little worried about our dog. We’ll have to be careful that she doesn’t rip through the walls or floor with her paws.

Ripped Bag and No Footprint
By Review Master!! on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2019
I was really looking forward to this tent, especially for the reduced price - $150.Unfortunately, it had a rip in the tent bag when it arrived and it did not include a footprint.I didn't unpack the tent aside from checking for the footprint, but the rest of the tent looked fine and I'm sure it's a great tent and that I even still could've used it.But I bought it thinking that it'd include the footprint (regularly $40, I think) and the rip is about 2 inches and would've gotten bigger pretty quick. While the bag isn't necessary, it is nice to be able to hold everything together, and I certainly didn't pay for this thinking I'd have a bag that wasn't fully intact.I'll be returning it. Unfortunately, I can't get it replaced for the same cost and even if I did, I'm not sure that it'd include a footprint. The seller - Ice Man - has a pretty low rating, 64%, and when I called Amazon they couldn't get in touch with them.
