Lightweight 2 Person Backpacking Tent for NZ Adventures
Built for lightweight adventures where comfort still matters, the Marmot Tungsten Ultralight 2 Person Tent gives hikers, backpackers, and trampers extra living space without weighing down the pack. Whether you're tackling multi-day South Island trails, bikepacking remote backroads, or setting up camp beside alpine lakes, this ultralight shelter is designed to balance packability, weather protection, and everyday camp comfort.
The Tungsten Ultralight’s zone pre-bend pole construction creates steeper vertical walls that noticeably improve headroom and usable sleeping space inside the tent. Dual vestibules, large D-shaped doors, and smart internal storage make life around camp easier, while the seam-taped bathtub floor and full-coverage rainfly provide dependable protection when conditions turn wet.
With lightweight DAC NFL poles, durable ripstop fabrics, and Marmot’s quick “Easy Pitch” setup system, this tent is purpose-built for fast-moving outdoor adventures across New Zealand.
