Marmot Limelight 3P Tent

The Marmot Limelight 3P tent offers 3 backpackers a comfortable space and tough yet lightweight construction. Limelight also offers great value as it comes complete with footprint and gear loft! Large side doors provide convenient access; 2 vestibules offer storage space for personal gear. Color coded poles and webbing simplify setup; snag-free zipper flaps won't get hung up. DAC Pressfit® aluminum poles feature a pressed-in ferrule, ensuring the poles remain strong and reliable. DAC/Marmot double clips disperse stress over a large area and won't slide; plus, they have an incredible breaking strength and are easy to use with gloves. UV-resistant, seam-sealed polyester rainfly won't stretch or expand when wet, ensuring a consistently taut pitch. Catenary cut floor provides a tight pitch with reduced weight; fully seam-taped bathtub floor maintains waterproofness. Window Weld™ design gives views to the outside, lets in light and reduces weight; fly vent increases air circulation inside tent. Light-reflective points help you find your tent at night; jingle-free nylon zipper pulls remain quiet in windy weather. Interior pockets organize your equipment and provide storage up off the floor while inside the Marmot Limelight 3 tent. As a convenient option, poles and rainfly can be set up with the footprint to create a lightweight shelter.

simple, elegant, nice featured 3-season

Got this tent on a whim when it was on sale. I have owned about 15 camping tents, preferring to stick with sierra designs tents; but I like this marmot. I was nicely surprised by how simple this tent went together. The main two supporting cross-poles are already linked with a nice plastic swivel connector. The square floor plan is nicely proportioned. I'm 6'3 and can fit in it lengthwise wit

great tent

I am getting back into camping and this tent was perfect! Very easy to set up and it kept me dry and warm through the night. Plenty of room on the inside too.

Perfect for a quick getaway

Can't say enough about this tent! I wanted a tent that was easy to setup for one person, rain and windproof as well as d

Outstanding Camping Tent

This is my go-to tent for car camping and canoe camping. Easy set-up, dependable wind protection and no-leak performance make this tent one of the best I've used. Like all tents of the modern age, the Limelight 3-p is most comfortable as a 2-man tent, but no points off for that. The only gripe I have is that the short, perpendicular ridge-pole connects only to a loop. For a high end tent from such a reputa

Fantastic

I purchased the Limelight 3P based off the reviews here, on REI. Thank you everyone for the great reviews. The few times I've used this tent so far, it has has not let me down. Setup is a breeze and the tent is roomy and airy with decent space for two and gear. The corner pockets come in handy along with the gear holder at the top. I love the rain fly on this tent as it is great for leaving your shoes or boots off outside but

Great tent, with a caveat

I love this tent, my wife and I have enough space in it and it's really easy to set up.The bad thing is it's got this plastic thing that keeps the poles together. It cracked the first time we used the tent. So now we're using some elastic band wrapped around a twig to keep the tent up.

Great Tent

This is very roomy with two people and snug but comfortable with three. Holds up to the rain and wind well and is incredibly easy to set up.

Good Backpacking Tent

Did tons of research on various backpacking tents. Used this tent to backpack in the Adirondacks with my daughter and her dog for a week. Had no p

excellent tent

Backpacked with my college age daughter and her dog for a week in the Adirondacks. The tent performed very well in two downpours and some stiff winds. Ventilation was very good. The tent is very easy to set up, it's sturdy, and waterproof. My only caution/suggestion is that you definitely need to go up one person-size to be comfortable. I can't imaging three 6 foot adults in the three person. My daughter, a 45 poun

Ready to go again.

Held up on our first 11 day backpacking trip and it rained every day.

Good tent for the $$$ but not for three!

The Limelight 3 I got (mid-April) has a 62" x 88" floor so three normal self-inflating pads won't fit. Weighs 6 lbs. 15 ounces without the footprint. Both of these are far different than the specs

Just what we wanted

Great upgrade from our previous 2 person. Now the dogs (2) have their own space, instead of taking up ours!Love that the footprint is included.

I LOVE THIS MARMOT LIMELIGHT 3P TENT

I use my tent on backpacking trips. It's light weight and comfort is important.I love the prices at REI this tent

Perfect for car camping

I took this to Camp 4 in Yosemite. It was super-easy to set up in the dark. Just watch out for the orientation of the tent poles (there is a right way and wrong way, although it probably won't really matter). No condensation, I could drive the stakes by hand, and it was otherwise perfect. I fit just fine (6'4"). It's nice that it comes with a footprint. I don't find the gear loft that useful, but

Very happy camper!!

Bought it recently and got to give it a field test with a couple of nights of car camping. Wife and dog are joining me on a 3-night canoe trip in Algonquin and I was looking for a lighter alternative to the Sierra Designs Stretch Dome which I have used for a few years. Nice, bombproof shelter, but heavy and complicated to set up. As previously mentioned by nearly all, setting up the Limelite3 is extremely quick an

Great Two Person Tent

My sons and I use the tent mainly for cub scout camping. My boys are in different cub scout packs and the tent really only fits me and one more. The rain cover has very useful areas outside of tent for gear. The tent is so easy to set up even in the dark and even for a 6 and 8 year old helping. We just bought the Limelight 4 person for my wife and I. We wanted to give the boys their own tent while we relax in ou

Super light and easy

This tent has plenty of room for 2 people, easy to set up, I like it only has 3 poles. I'm 5'2 and was able to reach everything to set it up easily by myself, while the other tent had someone a 6'+ putting it together. Biggest problem is the rain fly zipper is pretty far from the door and I have to craw out on the wet ground or sand to reach. and for the taller party he had to crouch too low to reach the zipper.Have

This is a great light tent.

This tent is a great all around tent and a good value when you consider it includes the ground cover and gear hammockI used this tent both car camping and backpacking with my two boys 11 and 6. With the rain fly we had plenty of room for us and our packs.No complaints! A great tent!
