Marmot Limelight Tent with Footprint and Gear Loft: 3-Person 3-Season
Great shelter

Ranked #67 - 3-Season Tents
December 17, 2010
In the last six months, this tent has been used multiple times from the deserts of California to the mountains of Colorado. It has seen temps from 20 degs to mid 60 degs, sustained winds at 30-40 mph, and moderate rain. The tent has been pitched on grass/dirt, on sand and even on a foot of snow and I'm pleased to say, it weathered all these tests. The included tent stakes dug into every surface we kicked em into and held fine. There was some mild condensation on the inside of the fly many of the nights we used it, but the sweating was not so bad that it dripped on us or made our gear wet, and the inside of the tent body always stayed dry. I stand at 6' 2", and I noticed there was plenty of space to stretch out laying down, while not hitting my head on the ceiling sitting up. A comfortable tent for two, and decent vestibule space on either side for gear. The tent could sleep three, but the middle camper would have to climb over the person to their L or R in order to get out (doors located length wise). While this door design is a flaw in my opinion, I am still more than happy with the purchase, and the tent is definately worth four stars.
