Marmot Nyx 2P

Marmot Nyx 2P – Extra roomy two person tent.

Ideal for the big guys, the Marmot Nyx 2P two person tent offer more living space than many other two person tents. A unique pole system and large vestibule make the Marmot Nyx 2P a great backpacking tent for hiking buddies who aren’t as wiry as the climber types.

The unique pole system on the Marmot Nyx 2P maximizes the tents living space by getting rid of the tight, useless, corners found on similar tents. Marmot accomplished this by creating a clever pole system they call the Knee Pole System. This system uses a bend above the lowest section of the tent to create more wall space and eliminate wasted corner. This allows for a bigger tent with no added weight.

The eight square foot vestibule give you plenty of room to store all your gear and wet close. This leaves you and your buddy with a living space inside the Marmot Nyx 2P that is roomy and gear free.
