Limelight Tent: 2-Person 3-Season

Why We Like The Limelight Tent
After we've trekked deep beyond the traffic of easily accessed trails, we pitch our home away from home: the Limelight. The prebent poles create a spacious interior without adding weight, while the extra-wide doors give us plenty of elbow room to set up our sleeping pad and bag. We slip our camera and warm layers in the side wings to keep them out from under us and extra safe from the elements, while our dirty bags and boots stay dry inside the dual vestibules.

Inexpensive Reliability!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I give this tent 5 for quality, value, light weight, and ventilation. I love leaving the rain fly off at night for excellent views and ventilation. I use it primarily for my annual bike ride across Iowa (RAGBRAI). The price has actually come down since my initial purchase.

Interior Vestibules Super Handy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the interior vestibules. Great for peace of mind and ability to easily get to gear without having to un-burrito yourself and unzip entry to outer vestibule. Recommend.

Love this tent. My 2nd one!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The limelight-2p tent is amazing! They call it a 2 Pierson tent but there's room for 2 people, gear, and your dog especially in the newest configuration. Having the additional "wings" adds so much room. I had the version from 10 years ago and it finally gave way. Marmot stays true to their lifetime warranty and I'm living this new one just as much! Setup is easy for 1 person even in the wind. Great ventilation, so much surround mesh, virtually never have condensation issues, have never had any waterproofing issues and love the huge bathtub bottom. Overall the materials used, the size, the height, the comfort, you can't go wrong with this tent! May be the slightest bit heavy of you're an ultralight hiker amd solo carrying.

Sturdy tent and light
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lightweight yet sturdy, this 2-person tent offers easy setup, solid weather protection, and good ventilation. It fits two campers snugly with just enough room for gear. Perfect for weekend backpacking trips or car camping when you need reliability and comfort.

Love the Limelight tent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my Limelight 2-person tent. Very easy to set up, great in high winds and love the alcove for extra room on multi-day hikes. Comes with a footprint too which is so important in rocky terrain. Great tent!

Roomy 2P Backpacking Tent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very spacious and functional tent for 2 people. The wings are a great addition to store gear without taking sleeping space, and the rainfly performs very well in inclement weather. Small enough for a weekend overnight backpacking trip

Great finale shape and inside but.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great 2 person tent on the inside and feels much bigger when your inside it which is great but I have noticed 2 things, compared to another 2 person tent that I have the pack size is much larger so instead of fitting in my Backcountry bag like the smaller one I have it takes up bottom to top on my bag): that's on me I should've checked pack size, second is the weight difference compared to online, on site it says it weighes around 4 pounds and a lil more, when I got the product it's more over 5 which isn't a problem just weird. I will say it's a sick tent overall and has great construction along with color coded poles alligned as one for easy setup

Simply the best
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Killer product. I have a few 2-person tents and this is my go to now. Love the extra space on the side for additional gear in your tent without taking up your sleeping room.

Easy to use and durable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this tent for many years of backpacking and car camping and it has held up great. The setup is easy and intuitive, probably one of the fastest tents to set up that I've owned.

Does the Limelight 2 footprint mimic the shape of the nightstands/vestibule extensions? Thanks!

Does the Limelight include a footprint/groundcover? If so, does it mimic the shape of the tent with its nightstand/vestibule extensions? Does the tent have two nightstand extensions, or just one?

I've seen conflicting info on different sites regarding the width of the 2 person limelight, from 49in floor width to 54in. Will this fit two 25in wide sleeping pads?

I've seen this new model in the foliage/dark azure color scheme. Why isn't it available here? Are the wings free standing or do they require staking?
