Great tent. Light weight and free standing. I especially like the inside height and the two alcoves for extra gear or in my case, extra length for sleeping. I use this tent solo. I am 6'6" and it is nice to not hit the ends of the tent when lying down.
Decent tent with a rainfly door issue unless you enjoy a cold wet rag drawn across your back during most all exits. Half the price most anywhere else so quit shopping REI
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I were looking for a lightweight tent for backpacking that was roomy and had two entries. Not only did the Limelight UL have that, it also had two interior side compartments for gear. Great tent!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my go to backpacking tent for its weight and durability. Nothing like sleeping under the starts while keeping the bugs away!
