I love this tent. I've literally been waiting years to break down and buy it. And after using the Limelight 2 this past summer, I was sold on the 3. Luckily, this year I got a Marmot pro-form and pulled the trigger. This is the perfect tent for two plus gear, or a dog. Three is totally do-able if you're all good friends. For the packed size and weight, it’s comparable to 2 person tents! The packed length is a little long, but not bad when you look at other similar sized tents. One of the biggest selling points are the two doors. No crawling over someone to get out. Though I wish they were D shaped... Next to the doors are the included accessories, foot print and gear loft. The loft isn't much, and it hugs the ceiling a little closer than I would have thought, but the foot print is a must have. I haven’t been able to go camping with it yet, but I did set it up in my living room and I’m pretty excited about it. I’ll update after some real world testing.
