Hey everyone, I just got my hands on the Marmot Limelight 3P tent for a recent backpacking trip in the Rockies, and wow-it’s a game-changer for lightweight three-person setups that I’ve been hunting for! What blew me away was how it punches above its weight in ventilation without skimping on space. The freestanding design went up in under five minutes solo, even in gusty winds, and that full-coverage rainfly kept us bone-dry during a surprise downpour.
The real discovery for me was pairing it with some aftermarket guy lines for extra stability on uneven terrain-it transformed the setup from good to bombproof. We fit three adults plus gear comfortably, with headroom that lets you sit up without feeling cramped. At just under 5 lbs packed, it’s lighter than my old go-to but feels way more durable with those beefy YKK zippers.
Has anyone else tried tweaking this tent for ultralight adventures, like swapping the stock stakes for titanium ones? Or maybe used it for family car camping? I’d love to hear your mods or first-hand experiences-let’s swap tips and get more folks out there testing this gem!
