TWO PERSON TENT
Great tent. Just spent my 1st 4 days in the tent. It rained hard At times every day, and I stayed dry at all times. After an easy first set up I seam sealed it. The only time I felt a bit of very fine spray was, after all night with a bit of condensation on the inside, during a very hard downpour, the condensation was being battered by the rain to the point of it detaching from the inside tent surface. As an experiment I wiped down the interior with my small highly absorbent towel and the misting stopped.
Well designed from the all round, 360°, ventilation to the small double walled foot area. I did replace the Al tent stakes with lighter Titanium and the lines with lighter spectra line. I found that 5 metal stakes were plenty supplemented with a few 6inch pencil sized sticks for the sides. Pack up was quick with, after days of rain, a set up on grass, a surprise in that the bottom was 99% free of moisture. I will of course verify it’s is totally dry before home storage. This tent easily wins my prize for accuracy of description and value, top quality, and At about 1 lb Per person a great buy. When I ordered the tent the Tarptent Co. informed me it was not in stock, back-ordered, I replied please “fulfill my order when you avalable – tent arrived in less than two weeks.

My Tarptent Motrail is now an old friend. I purchased it in 2016. I’ve been using it on various trails throughout New England but mostly section hiking on the AT. In 2016, 2017 and 2018 I’ve used it as a solo hiker. It’s only 34oz and I’m a big guy (6’3”). I love this tent!!! It is huge for one person and I’m am totally spoiled. Well, in 2019, my 13 year old son decided that he wanted to hike with me. I made the decision to see how it would work with both of us in the Motrail. Well, much to my surprise, we fit fine with no trouble at all. There really is plenty of room for both of us. The vestibule is big enough for all of our gear which gives us plenty of room inside. The Motrail has been home for the both of us for 17 nights last year. It’s been great teaching Theo about backpacking as I learn more myself. He is hooked! We have a great agenda planned for this year but my only question is……..do I get him a Protrail and reclaim my space or do we hang together as best buds in the Motrail for another year. I think the later…… the accommodations are great and he’ll be all grown up before I know it. Thanks for making a great product so that I can feel confident to go out there to make these great memories!

I love my MoTrail! I’ve had it for two years now. I’ve used it in windy weather, rain, and snow and it’s done well on all. It does have a bit of a learning curve in terms of putting it up and in inclement weather you definitely want to make use of those extra stake options, but overall I couldn’t be happier. It’s massive for a lightweight two person tent – both me and whoever I’m hiking can fit ourselves AND our packs inside. Thanks for making a wonderful product :)

This tent is great, I’m really blown away!! I had used it for the first time this past weekend and it held up through a night of light rain and a downpour incredibly well! What you get for the price point is an incredible value. Large enough floor for 2 of average height, with plenty of vestibule space for two small/medium packs + shoes. Limited room for sitting up, but enough to get by. The lower ceiling space is a plus for me as the tent does not lose any function, while keeping the weight and volume to a minimum. This tent is also nearly effortless to set up; took me no more than 5 minutes the first night and about 2 minutes the second night. Staking out with additional line at all the tie-out points is great for windy/rainy weather, but I also found it allows for better airflow through the tent as well, helping to reduce morning condensation. A little condensation was present the second morning, but nothing a small cloth wasn’t able to clean up! Very impressed and happy with my purchase. Thanks, Tarptent!
