Inexpensive Reliability!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I give this tent 5 for quality, value, light weight, and ventilation. I love leaving the rain fly off at night for excellent views and ventilation. I use it primarily for my annual bike ride across Iowa (RAGBRAI). The price has actually come down since my initial purchase.

Interior Vestibules Super Handy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the interior vestibules. Great for peace of mind and ability to easily get to gear without having to un-burrito yourself and unzip entry to outer vestibule. Recommend.

Love This Tent. My 2nd One!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The limelight-2p tent is amazing! They call it a 2 Pierson tent but there's room for 2 people, gear, and your dog especially in the newest configuration. Having the additional "wings" adds so much room. I had the version from 10 years ago and it finally gave way. Marmot stays true to their lifetime warranty and I'm living this new one just as much! Setup is easy for 1 person even in the wind. Great ventilation, so much surround mesh, virtually never have condensation issues, have never had any waterproofing issues and love the huge bathtub bottom. Overall the materials used, the size, the height, the comfort, you can't go wrong with this tent! May be the slightest bit heavy of you're an ultralight hiker amd solo carrying.

Sturdy Tent And Light

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lightweight yet sturdy, this 2-person tent offers easy setup, solid weather protection, and good ventilation. It fits two campers snugly with just enough room for gear. Perfect for weekend backpacking trips or car camping when you need reliability and comfort.

Love The Limelight Tent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my Limelight 2-person tent. Very easy to set up, great in high winds and love the alcove for extra room on multi-day hikes. Comes with a footprint too which is so important in rocky terrain. Great tent!

Roomy 2p Backpacking Tent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very spacious and functional tent for 2 people. The wings are a great addition to store gear without taking sleeping space, and the rainfly performs very well in inclement weather. Small enough for a weekend overnight backpacking trip

Great Tent!

Easy set up. Lots of room for one person and a dog.

Great Finale Shape And Inside But.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great 2 person tent on the inside and feels much bigger when your inside it which is great but I have noticed 2 things, compared to another 2 person tent that I have the pack size is much larger so instead of fitting in my Backcountry bag like the smaller one I have it takes up bottom to top on my bag): that's on me I should've checked pack size, second is the weight difference compared to online, on site it says it weighes around 4 pounds and a lil more, when I got the product it's more over 5 which isn't a problem just weird. I will say it's a sick tent overall and has great construction along with color coded poles alligned as one for easy setup

Simply The Best

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Killer product. I have a few 2-person tents and this is my go to now. Love the extra space on the side for additional gear in your tent without taking up your sleeping room.

Easy To Use And Durable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this tent for many years of backpacking and car camping and it has held up great. The setup is easy and intuitive, probably one of the fastest tents to set up that I've owned.

Great 3 Season Tent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I bought this tent for a trip into the Angeles mountains with friends and it was great !! It’s the little things that matter with this tent. You have ample room with the vestibules areas and the poles are colored coded so it only took me 5 minutes to set up the actual tent. I got my socks wet during the trip and clothes hanger worked perfectly along with having more than enough room inside.

Amazing Tent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tent is amazing. Very spacious for two people. Easy set up. Some condensation as to be expected with any tent. The condensation stayed on the tent fly and was a non issue for me. The tent easily fit inside my 45L pack. The tent packs up into its packaging with ease. Absolutely no struggle trying to roll up the tent and place in carry sack.

Inexpensive Performance

For the price, the Limelight is a solid performer. It's the style and size that the majority of outdoor folks will at some point. It also won't break the bank. While ultralight tents shine for the fast packers and the weight conscious, the price for weight savings is a non linear formula. In other words you'll pay a lot more for a lot less when it comes to shaving ounces. I've used the lImelight in all its configurations over the years. Mine has been to Mexico, the Andes, and all over the US. It's a good three season performer and works even in the odd snowstorm. It's light enough to travel well and carry (if load is shared between two people).

Easy To Set Up And Durable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I travelled alone on a road trip for a couple weeks. On the road trip I was setting up and tearing down the Limelight 2 by myself on a daily basis. Compared to many other tents I have used it was a breeze and I could set it up and tear down in only a few minutes.

Perfect Size For A Dog

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, this tent is just beautiful. The colors are as vibrant as they are online. This tent is perfect for car camping and 2 people (especially if you have a dog or a small child). It is a great tent, super easy to set up and tear down. Can stand on its own and comes with a footprint which is an added bonus.
