Our Take
The Marmot Limelight 2P is a reliable, roomy shelter that uses pre-bent poles to create vertical walls for extra headspace and comfort.
While it is a bit heavy for long-distance backpacking, its easy setup and included footprint make it a high-value choice for weekend warriors and car campers who want a durable, livable home in the hills.
