Product Highlights

Boasting lightweight, durable construction, a roomy floor plan and an abundance of mesh, the Marmot Limelight 2P is a value-priced 2-person tent. Marmot even throws in a gear loft and footprint at no additional cost. Designed for 3-season backpacking and camping, the Limelight 2P is ready to accompany you on your next backcountry adventure.

Intended to house up to two people, the Limelight 2P offers 32 square feet of interior space. The full coverage rainfly's integrated vestibule provides a weather-protected entryway and an additional 9 square feet of covered storage space. Interior mesh pockets and a gear loft which clips into the ceiling are included with the Limelight 2P, serving as out-of-the-way storage options.

Three DAC Press-Fit aluminum poles provide the Limelight 2P with support. Integrated clips allow the body of the Limelight 2P to attach quickly, easily and securely to the poles. The freestanding design enables you to set up the tent and then move it around your chosen campsite to find the optimal rock-and-root-free position. Reflective highlights in the fabric of the Limelight 2P make it easy to spot when returning to camp after dark or in low-light conditions.

Mesh panels in the walls and ceilings of the Limelight 2P allow air to circulate and combat condensation. The weatherproof floor with catenary cut and rainfly combine to protect the interior of the Limelight 2P from the elements. Even in those instances when weather is uncooperative and leaves you stranded inside the Limelight 2P, an integrated window in the rainfly allows you to see outside.

A custom-fit footprint is included to further protect the floor of the Marmot Limelight 2P from sharp objects, mud and ground water. The Limelight 2P's design offers a bare bones set-up option. If you really want to travel light, leave the tent body at home and use the rainfly alone with the provided footprint for an even lighter tarp-style set-up.

The Marmot Limelight 2P is available in your choice of colors.

Colors available: Alpenglow, Hatch/Dark Cedar

    Likes: Awesome tent. I used it for a 4 day hiking trip. It rained heavily entire time… and I stayed completely dry. Really easy and quick to set up even in strong winds, great ventilation, spacious. Great value for the money.

    Dislikes: Tent may be a little to heavy for longer backpacking trips...

    Likes: I got the Limelight 2P primarily for solo canoe camping, although it's light enough and works well for backpacking. It's great as a solo tent, although can't imagine squeezing a 2nd person in, w/a close friend, you could make it work. Love that it came with a free footprint and attic. The tent has served me well paddling on multiple trips in northern NH and ME from spring into early fall. It performed flawlessly during a number of 2"-3" rain events w/high winds. The set up is quick and simple, watched the video, then set it up in the dark for the first time w/o a hitch. It's got a couple of nice little storage pockets on the wall. I expect many years of good service from this tent.

    Dislikes: Nothing to report.
