Great 2p backpacking tent

Pretty solid tent and has worked pretty great for us. Weight is good and the end bump outs hold our packs 65L & 40L. I have a 25" long/wide mat and my daughter uses a 20" medium, which fits with a bit of room to spare, it seems like 2 wides will fit. Notes: - Zippers can snag a bit, but I feel like that's common on any gear with thin/light material - Interior doesn't have enough storage for me. I added a big Agnes square gear loft and it's been great - Outside door fly can be bit floppy/loose. Because of the bump outs you don't get a lot of exterior storage space and in heavy rain you can get some splash back. Luckily there are center loops so you can just rig a pole or something and no more splash back.

great tent especially for tall people

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.

Fresh, Functional, and Lightweight.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Limelight UL2 proved to be the perfect tent! After a few weeks of researching different lightweight backpacking tent options, I decided that the Limelight's added triangular vestibules were too fresh and functional to pass up. After taking the Limelight out for our first trek this proved to be an accurate take. We loved the added vestibules for their storage functionality and just plain coolness. The addition of the blue colored fabric made for a calming feel inside the tent, and the color coded poles made setup a breeze.

Great Tent!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super lightweight and very easy to setup/breakdown. I wish the tent poles collapsed down to be a bit shorter but maybe that's how a lot of them are these days and I just haven't had a new tent in a while? Love the color too! Excited to test this out some more on some backpacking trips!

Great, lightweight tent

[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!

Wet exits

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

Nice ultralight tent

This tent was a nice upgrade from my prior 2 person backpacking tent, about half the weight and two-thirds the size of my prior tent. Also nice to have the bump outs for extra gear storage inside.

Another excellent Marmot tent. (Superalloy 3 user)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not a gimmick, the odd wings add space and comfort in 2-person. And encourages the sensible head-to-foot sleeping position. 2P tents usually feel tight to me. Not this one. Good quality as usual.

Fantastic ultralight 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!
