Features of the Marmot Limelight 2P Tent

32 Square Feet of Floor Space Inside

This has traditionally a problem with small two person tents. That’s not a problem here. 32 square feet of interior room is now yours. This gives you enough room for you and a second person to rest and relax along with all your gear. You have enough room to spread out. This means you wouldn’t feel like a sardine in a can.

Ergonomic Shape

The dome was proved by Buckminster Fuller to be the ideal structure for a building. His geodesic dome revolutionized the building world. For you, it provides the perfect shape for a shelter. You get the maximum room inside for you, your companion, and your gear. This shape also stands up to wind, and rain as well.

Handy Gear Loft

One of the problems with many tents is where to put your stuff. This tent solves the problem by giving you a gear Loft that keeps everything out of the way and off the ground. You can still move about as it is all secured against the sides out of the way.

Weather is Kept at Bay

An all-weather fly is provided that covers the entire tent that stops the wind and prevents rain from getting inside and ruining your camping pleasure. The D-shaped door, windows, and the bottom are then watertight and you don’t have to worry about groundwater from entering as well.

Lightweight and goes up in a flash

The tent when it is folded up fits in a small package perfect for carrying on your backpack. It weighs less than 7 lbs so it is a breeze to hike in to wherever you are planning on exploring.

This makes this tent a portable shelter that goes anywhere at any time you want.
