Is the Limelight 2P good for backpacking?

It works for short trips, but at about 5 lb packed it is on the heavy side. Ultralight two-person tents cut weight at the cost of room and durability.

Does it come with a footprint?

Yes. The footprint is included, which most competing tents sell as a separate accessory.

How does it handle rain?

The fly covers the whole tent and has taped seams and vents. Owners report staying dry in steady rain when it is pitched taut.

Can two adults sleep in it comfortably?

Yes. The vertical walls and wide front door give two adults room to sit up, and the two vestibules hold packs and boots.

How many doors and vestibules does it have?

Two doors and two vestibules: one oversized double door in front and a D-shaped rear door.

What seasons is it built for?

It is a three-season tent, suited to spring through fall. It is not designed for heavy snow loads.

About the Marmot Limelight 2P Tent

The Limelight 2P is a three-season dome tent for two with pre-bent poles that push the walls vertical, adding head room and floor space without extra weight. It has two doors and two vestibules, and the front door is oversized so you can move pads and packs in and out easily. A footprint is included, which most rivals sell separately. Reviewers rate it highly as a roomy, weather-tight tent for the money, though some find it heavy for backpacking and note the fly and stakes add bulk.
