The Marmot Limelight 2 tent offers 2 backpackers a tough yet habitable space and a lightweight load. Limelight also offers great value as it comes complete with footprint and gear loft!

  • Large side door allows easy access and gear storage space
  • DAC Pressfit aluminum poles feature a pressed-in ferrule, ensuring the poles will remain strong and reliable
  • DAC/Marmot double clips disperse stress over a large area and won't slide; plus, they have an incredible breaking strength and are easy to use with gloves
  • UV-resistant, seam-sealed polyester rainfly doesn't stretch or expand when wet, ensuring a consistently taut pitch
  • Catenary cut floor provides a tight pitch with reduced weight; fully seam-taped bathtub floor maintains waterproofness
  • Window Weld™ design gives views to the outside, lets in light and reduces weight; fly vent increases air circulation inside tent
  • Strong Stake Tape™ shaves weight by eliminating grommets and allows versatile set-up
  • Light-reflective piping helps you find your tent at night; jingle-free nylon zipper pulls remain quiet in windy weather
  • Multiple inside pockets organize your equipment and provide storage up off the floor
  • Fast pack pitching: In nice weather, use only the poles, rainfly and footprint to save weight
  • Includes stuff sacks, stakes and guyline/tighteners
  • Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only

Imported.

    Comments about Marmot Limelight 2 Tent:

    This is a fantastic tent. Just used it on a week long canoe/hiking trip to the Buffalo River. It rained on us 4 nights out of 6 and I stayed completely dry. By the way I used this as a solo tent and had plenty of space. The tent went up really fast with no problems whatsoever. Two nights we received very high winds and the Limelight stayed perfectly still. The fly incorporates a window which is a nice feature and the backside of the fly also has a vent (which is not mentioned in the description). I had great ventilation with no condensation the entire trip.By the way, I took the stake bag and pole bag and put them in a side pocket and underneath the compression straps of my pack (Osprey Atmos 65). This allowed me to stuff the tent, fly, and footprint into an REI 15x7 stuff sack here (which in turn fits into my pack):[@]

      Comments about Marmot Limelight 2 Tent:

      Just took this tent out for the first time last night. We had some rain and friends tents were hit hard with condensation. This tent was dry all through the night. Easy to set up and lightweight. Best tent I have owned up to this point.
