camping tents 
When planning your first spring camping trip, think “lightweight, roomy, durable and affordable.” The new 2008 Marmot Zonda 2P camping tent has got a lot going for it. Designed for backpacking, the Zonda 2P tent is the perfect carry-on for hikers or bikers, thanks to its lightweight and compact design. This four-pound, three-season, two-man tent features the innovative Knees Pole System which maximizes interior space without increasing the tent’s weight. A 31.5-sq.-ft. floor area and a nine-sq.-ft. vestibule allow lots of room for campers and gear. The “bear bones set-up” of the tent’s fly and a ground sheet provides an awesome and quick shelter from wind and rain, while the actual tent features a whole other layer of weather protection – no-drip walls, a fully waterproof floor with taped seams, and the shape itself. The Zonda 2P camping tent retails for approximately $289. Marmot.Your email address will not be published.
