Traditional Tents

5 Retired Fogey
[ Great tent to replace my 4- 5 year- old almost perfect Halo 6p. I ’ d thought it was indestructible, but it didn ’ t stand up to a flying chair from a neighboring site during a thunderstorm. Although the Limestone has slightly less floor area, it feels larger since the walls are more vertical than the Halo ’s. I ’ m 6 ’ 3 ” and can walk around upright in more than half the tent. Both vestibules are smaller than the Halo ’s, but I ’ d never really needed/used the enormous front vestibule of the Halo. The Limestone ’s vestibule held my chair with no problem and will hold my bike with no problem on the next trip. Just did a 3- day trip in rain and 35+mph gusts and the Limestone appeared to be every bit as sturdy as the Halo. Added benefits: it ’s lighter, packs smaller, and is slightly easier to set up since it ’s got one fewer pole and the rain fly is smaller and easier to handle. Although I do appreciate the increased privacy from the non- mesh white front door, I almost wish it had see- through mesh and a zippered privacy screen like the Halo. We ’ ll see how that affects summer ventilation. For this winter trip, ventilation was great- no condensation at all on those 35 degree nights. Bottom line is that Marmot knocked it out of the park again.

We 've had our Limestone 6p for about 8 camping seasons in the PNW. I got it after constantly getting wet in our other tents and so that my tall husband could stand up comfortably and move around. It felt like$$$ at the time but it has been amazing which is why I 'm here to write this review. I love the extra dry front and back porch areas for shoes and things we want to protect. Nice large doors for coming and going, lots of pockets inside and a hook to hang a light. So quick and easy to put up. We 're always careful to store dry and clean. For the first time this year, it had one tiny drip coming through the rainfly where the seam tape was peeling up.( I 've submitted my first warranty claim so we 'll see how that process works.) Admittedly, most of our camping is in forested areas but I can see how the lightweight poles might not hold up as well in a place with high winds. 100% would buy this tent again.

I purchased our tent Christmas 2015 and started camping with it in 2016. We have camped in her 20- 48 days per year from as early as April to the beginning of November. Most of our tent ’s time was spent in the Canadian Rockies in a variety of weather. She has experienced Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Northwest Territories and North and South Dakota. She has kept us dry, cool, warm and cozy all these years. Both tent zippers to the front and back have been replaced. The fly has numerous patches. This year 2 sections of both poles were bent during a strong wind while trying to set her up in Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewan. Unfortunately they can not be straightened. The fly is very thin from exposure to various types of weather. I chose the Limestone tent as it ’s tall enough to stand up in, otherwise my husband wouldn ’ t have agreed to camp in a tent. It ’s also very easy to assemble, take down and store in provided bag. The main tent is still in great shape. My husband is 81 and his memory is starting to fail. He wants to continue to camp as long as he is able, therefore, having the same tent would be beneficial as with a little reminding, he can still assist in tent assembly and take down. She will last a couple of more trips this year then I ’ ll be searching for a replacement.

After doing significant research on multi person tents, I decided on a Marmot Limestone 6 person tent. That was back in 2012. We have been camping in the tent every season except two. We have taken exceptional care of this tent( never putting it away damp, keeping it away from campfires, and storing it in a suitable tent tote) and in turn, this tent has kept up warm, dry and given us many memories of mother/daughter camping. One summer we were camping in WI and were hunkered down during a severe thunderstorm. As loud as it was with the rain AND hail pounding on the rain fly, we were safe and dry in our Marmot Limestone tent. We actually had a small stream running under the tent, but not a drop inside! The gear pockets are great and it sleeps three people quite comfortably on twin air beds and our gear. The entryway are a bonus for keeping your gear dry from the night dew and there is plenty of head room for standing up and changing clothes. We did have warranty work done this year and service was fast helpful! We absolutely love our Marmot!

I bought my limestone about a year ago and have been out in it about 7 times now primitive camping and I love it. It is an easy set up and on two of my trips I had some severe storms come in, the one alone had about 40mph winds with it and the tent shook some but it weathered the storm( no pun intended). Very easy to do a one person set up with and I really enjoy the space and head room.

I have been looking for a new camping tent forever. Being a bit of a penny pincher I had been burning through one cheap tent after another. I recently got the Limestone for an weekend camping trip and I love. It was rainy and windy all weekend but my tent stayed bone dry. More than that, I could actually stand in this tent and the walls being so vertical I could actually fit my wife and two kids in it without us rolling over each other all night. Even better its got these great pockets for stashing away your gear. You can tell they really thought out every aspect of this tent.

Large and spacious. Large doors in front and smaller one in back was very useful. Coming from a smaller `` 4 person tent ''( sierra South fork) this was more difficult to put up for one person. Mainly because the poles are threaded through the top. This Required the tent and poles to be lifted while simultaneously bending them into place eyelets in the corners. Clips to the top might be easier to build the tent. The rainfly has a droop over the main vestibule where rain collects. No leaks observed but it makes entering during rainfall risky. We camped during a bright moon. The kiwi color made the tent seem while on the inside. Drying out took somewhat long due to some of the double over layers( zipper covers, flaps etc) trapping water. Pack size and pole design makes it just too big to be a good packing tent. Good for cars and short carry ins Size: 5/5 Set up: 4/5 Rain resistance: light rain( 4/5) Drying time: 3/5 Color option: 4/5 Wind resistance: TBD
