Marmot Limelight 3-Person Tent

The Marmot Limelight 3-Person Tent is a semi-freestanding, double-wall dome tent for three-season backpacking, family trips and car camping. Two DAC aluminum poles pitch inner-first, reaching a peak height of 114 cm, and the bathtub floor covers 4.2 m² (229 x 178 cm) - enough for three pads side by side, though headroom stays modest for a dome shape. The 68D polyester fly carries a 1500 mm PU coating, and the floor in the same fabric steps up to 2000 mm, so the tent handles steady rain without being expedition-grade. Two D-doors each open onto their own vestibule, and the inner tent mixes mesh and fabric panels. Seams are factory-taped, and the package adds nine stakes, four interior pockets, a gear loft and a matching footprint. At 2.7-3 kg total, or roughly 900 g-1 kg per person for three, the Limelight reads as a value three-season backpacking tent rather than an ultralight shelter - fine for the added room and versatility, not for a gram-counted thru-hike.
