Marmot  Limestone 6P Tent

First time campers...my son and I put it together with no problem in about 20 minutes including the rain fly. Build quality looks great. Materials are high quality. Color coding made it easy. Plenty of floor space and head room. Nice design and looks easy to use. Will add another review after camping with it at the State Park. Only area where there may be room for improvement would be packing instructions or a larger compression sack to stuff it back into. Maybe just because we are first timers, but it's quite difficult to get it back together as nicely as it came packed. Overall, I'd buy it again and recommend to others.

Got this tent in July 2015 for the additional space and height so my wife and our dog would have more room than the Limelight 4P we'fe been using has. I use the 4P on solo trips. We can stand up in this tent. Easy to set up by myself. i'm just under 6 ft tall. Rainfly is a bit tough for one person. Have used this in hard rain, wind and mellow conditions. Great tent and great value.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned this tent for 4 years now. My family of 4 goes camping about 8 to 10 times per year and just during recent trip I was thinking how great this tent was and that even now I would not change anything about it. I love how the transparent side lets you enjoy the view and the stars at night while the other side provides privacy. We use it for 4 people and it's just right, 6 would probably be too cozy :) The tent is well built and is still going strong.

Overall this is a great tent. This is the first Marmot tent we have owned as we have historically been Sierra Designs tent owners. The quality and craftsmanship are excellent and the tent really delivered. We used this tent in Rocky Mountain National Park and during our second night it rained for about seven hours. The downpour wasn't too heavy but nonetheless the tent kept us perfectly dry. If there seems to be a handicap its that the rainfly doesn't pitch as taught as we would have liked. It was loose and wrinkled, regardless of how snuggly we staked it out or how many guy-lines we attached (+1 for Sierra Designs). that aside, the tent performed as expected and we are pleased with the purchase.

My husband and I bought this in May of 2015 and ended up camping 10 times through the end of October. This tent was amazing. I have not tried to set it up by myself, but it's maybe 5 minutes with the two of us. Very easy and quick to put up. There is so much room in the 6 person limestone. We have a queen size air mattress, sleeping bags, a duffel bag, and the dog bed and bag. There is plenty of walking and standing room. The rain fly is great. It comes almost all the way down to the ground on every side for superior wind and rain protection. There is enough room in the vestibules on both sides that I can put my travel toilet (5 gal bucket) inside and still plenty of room for shoes and entry/exit activities. The double doors are very helpful to keeping dirt out of the tent. My husband can keep his muddy shoes in his own vestibule. I do wish I could buy another doormat for the second door, we just have to use a tarp for the time being. The rainfly is a bit of a pain to fold to put away because it's an odd shape (sort of like folding a fitted sheet...) The poles are strong and durable. the material of the tent is quality and we have never had leaks. We do use a tarp underneath as a footprint but be sure the footprint is smaller than the tent floor so water doesn't build up in between. If you are considering a 6p tent (for whatever reason), get this one for sure. There is plenty of room for an expanding family or all our gear.

I have had this tent since 2012. In the last 40 years I have had many tents, none as well designed or as well made as the Limestone 6P. I have never been in a very heavy rain with the Limestone, but I have been in a constant rain for three days in the high 30s and stayed warm and bone dry. I saw a comment about the poles bending. They are pre curved which may account for that comment. As for the stuff sack, why is that an issue. Just get a duffle bag to carry it in. You need more room when it is wet anyway. The tent is very roomy compared to other tents I have with a similar foot print due to the upright walls formed by the extra top poles. The two vestibules add a LOT of extra room. This is a great tent, if you buy it you will not regret it.

I've had this tent out twice since my purchase. Put it up by myself the first time in about 20-minutes, it was faster after that. It's a little hard to get packed away in the original bag so I bought a duffel bag big enough for the everything plus some additional camping gear. The second time, I set the tent up between rain storms. The tent with fly is very cozy and dry, even in a day long drenching. I like the tall doors and high ceiling. Makes living in the tent so much nicer. The size was great for my daughter and I and two dogs, six might be a squeeze for anything other than sleeping. The vestibules are small, but do give some extra space outside for gear. I like the included door mat, but there are two doors, how about two door mats? All-in-all, I love this tent!

I have owned this tent for a few years and have used on multiple camping trips and always appreciate how easy it is to set up. Often camp with several friends and I'm typically finished WAY before they are and I watch them struggle assembling theirs. The only issue I have had was the line in the main pole broke, which did create a challenge. However, when I contacted their support, they were top notch, easy to work with and fixed/replaced the pole without a hitch.

This tent is great in a downpour. Torrential downpour all night and every one stayed nice and dry. Sleeps three comfortably. Not easy to set up or take down alone - poles are very long and hard to bend after put through the sleeves. Needed to take down quickly while a bear sat nearby patiently waiting for me to leave (he wanted my trash cans). The poles kept getting caught up in the sleeves. Great tent if you have help.

We set it up in the house and it looked great. Lots of room and headroom so we then set it up outside. The next day a chinook arrived and when I arrived home from work it was taken down thinking the poles weren't damaged. Well, we tried setting it up again and the poles were wavy, all with about a 20 degree bend. Now we are looking to replace the poles, and it doesn't look like it will be easy....
