REI Co-op Wonderland 6 Titanium
The Titanium in the name is a pigment, not a pole. REI mixes titanium dioxide into the 75-denier fly to slow the UV ageing that kills campground polyester, and the poles underneath are the same 12 to 16 mm aluminium as the plain Wonderland 6. What that buys is 83.3 square feet on a 120 by 100 inch floor with 78 inches of height at the peak, which is standing room for most adults. The pigment costs three pounds — 25 lb 15.9 oz packed against 22 lb 15 oz uncoated — and about a hundred dollars. Split six ways the floor is 13.9 square feet each, so read this as a roomy four-person tent; REI sold the same shape as the Kingdom for years, and older reviews are about this tent under that name.
Best for
A family of four who want to stand up inside, camping where sun rather than storm is what wears a tent out.
Marmot Limestone 6P
A 150D body at 3000 mm is heavy-duty fabric for a family tent — twice the denier of the Nemo Aurora Highrise's 75D fly and double its waterproof rating — and at seventeen and a half pounds the Limestone is still lighter than every steel cabin here. Seventy-six inches of peak height, 83 square feet, aluminium poles, a 10 by 28 inch pack. Marmot's own site blocks automated requests, so these numbers come from dealer listings and a review site rather than from Marmot directly.
Best for
Family car camping in wet weather, where fabric weight matters more than the last few dollars.
