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.

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!

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.

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

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!

Open the vents

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great tent, it was sweating or keeping humidity but it was because I didn't open the vents overnight

Great Tent with Two Negatives

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As an avid backpacker, I've owned and used various tents. In fact, I still have a Marmont Tungsten UL 2P tent that has seen years of use. I have also used other tents, including trekking pole tents. Anyway, let me give some pros/cons about this Limelight UL 2P tent. PROS: 1) It does have enough room for my two sleeping pads that are 24 inches wide. There is ample headroom, and the little gear storage side extensions mean you can fit most of your gear inside the tent. The tent fits my wife and me, who are around 5'10 to 6'0 tall. 2) It is easy to set up. I can set it up on my own in about 2 or 3 minutes under normal conditions. 3) The materials are sturdy. It is lightweight so it's not like a heavy and tough car camping tent, but the tent does not feel flimsy or overly delicate. 4) It is nice to set up without the rainfly on a nice star-filled night. The blue mesh is really easy to see through, and no bugs can get in. CONS: 1) The vestibules aren't huge. Because of the side gear cubbies in the tent, the vestibules can just barely fit my backpack and shoes. 2) The rainfly is slightly loose and floppy. At the head and foot ends of the tent, the rain fly should be tighter. It flaps in the wind. Yes, there are plenty of guyline points, but the rainfly should be tighter than it is. Overall, this is a very nice tent that weighs just over 3lbs with everything (stakes, poles, rainfly, tent body).
