Marmot Limelight 3 Person Tent Foliage/Dark Azure

Excellent design, my favorite tent in its class

I have been using this tent for 3 years now. The design is smart and practical, including the internal height, the aerodynamic shape, the open to, the vestibule - and it's a piece of cake to put it up / take it down in less than 3 minutes total (2 people) or 5 minutes (1 person, inc. packing it away). I have found it to be the best in its price category. It has withstood 100kmph wind and 120 Fahrenheit in the Canyonlands, extreme damp and mud in the Olympic NP, snow camping in snow storm in C...rater Lake NP and a lot of other challenges in between. Still as reliable as new. Is it perfect? No... but so far as good as it gets for the investment. I give it 4.5 stars - half reduction for the fact that the side gets pulled up at the bottom when the top cross-pole is in use (I usually don't put it in) and well, the weight is great but like all tents of this size, it "gets noticeably heavier" every dozen miles day during a 10-day hike, if you know what I mean:) Anyone who mentioned that it gets ripped easily or the zippers get stuck easily are either bots of have a lot of outdoor practicing to do. By the way, the color not only looks cool but also helps to spot the tent when you're hiking back to your camp in the middle of nowhere, regardless of the dominant colors of the environment. Would / will buy it again.

Unique shape with plenty of room

This tent has plenty of room. Set up is a breeze, I like that the poles and tabs are color coordinated making it super simple to keep everything straight. Having an included footprint is nice. Our scout troop uses Marmot tents and they've lasted well so I wanted to get one for myself for when I'm camping with the boys. This tent is high quality and seems like it will last. Unfortunately, the first Limelight 3P tent I purchased had a missing grommet so I exchanged it, only to find that its re...placement was also missing a grommet. Luckily the third tent had no such issue and has worked perfectly on the campouts I've used it on so far. So my advice is to check the tent out thoroughly when you first receive it to make sure that all the parts are in order.
