Just because the big Labor Day sales are over doesn’t mean you can’t still score great deals on quality outdoor gear. Retailers like REI, Backcountry, and even Amazon are still dropping prices on everything from backpacking packs to lightweight jackets and even multi-tools after the holiday. But some of the steepest lingering deals can be found at Dick’s Sporting Goods, and one of the best for fall car camping or overlanding is this popular Marmot tent that's half-off and an absolute steal.
The Marmot Pacifica 6-Person Tent is now on sale for just $220—a 50% discount on the normal price of $439. This spacious tent is holding down a near-perfect rating after 15 votes from campers who rave about it, saying it's "high-quality," that the "materials are very sturdy," and that it "goes together easily." And, if you need something a little lighter, it's also available in a 4-person size for $175, which is also half-off the original price.
Big tents like this one are great for car camping or overlanding because they offer plenty of space. It isn’t quite ready to take on a 50-mile backpacking trip, but it still only weighs about 6 pounds, which is very light for a 6-person tent. Other great features of this inexpensive but quality tent include lots of interior pockets to store essentials, a lampshade pocket to hold a headlamp or flashlight, and double doors with two large vestibules to keep dirty or wet gear safe outside. It also has taped seams on the rain fly and a catenary-cut floor to help keep out water. Color-coded aluminum poles and a combo of clips and sleeves make pitching the tent a cinch, and a jingle-free zipper won’t wake sleeping pals.
Shoppers are very happy with how solid and simple this tent is to set up. “This tent is fantastic,” one shopper enthused. “Got this for a family camping trip and it was so spacious! It has this spot that’s like a little pocket to hold a lamp to light up the tent and a spot to hook a lamp. The tent was easy to put together too!"
Another camper who got caught in a sudden snowstorm was glad they picked up the Marmot, as it was strong enough to withstand the squall. “While camping, we had an unexpected snowstorm hit. This tent withstood the wind and snow. We had about 3 inches of snow overnight and we stayed 100% dry.”
Marmot has been making quality camping gear for decades and this tent is just one example of how the brand has turned years of knowledge and experience into high-quality affordable products. The sale on this Pacifica 6-Person Tent has dropped that price even lower, making it a screaming deal at only $220. Make sure to jump on this super-low price before they get snapped up by other lucky fall campers because they're bound to sell out soon.
