Okay...When I was shopping for a tent I was very picky! I figured if I was going to be spending a good bit of money (at least in my standards) I wanted to get my money's worth! I was looking for a tent that I could take backpacking (such as through Europe) and simple car camping. Also not to expensive but also good quality.
After reading all the positive reviews i finally decided on the Marmot Limelight 3...
So I am a large guy that needed plenty of room but still packed small and light!
I took this tent to Europe for 2.5 weeks and it couldnt have worked out better! While backpacking in Europe we camped in Ireland which is known for rain and this tent held up wonderful. I was traveling with another guy that was just as large as me and we slept very comfortable. Both of us had 80 L packs that we kept in the tent with us and we still had enough room!
There is just one small con....
While inside trying to exit the zipper on the rainfly is a bit annoying to get to it is very low.
All in all this tent is wonderful! I am very happy with my choice! And thank you to everyone that wrote a review that helped me make my decision!
