From Backcountry.com:
"The Marmot Limelight 3-Person Tent w/ Footprint and Gear Loft's clean, functional design fits right in, whether you take it summer backpacking or car camping. A large 10-square foot vestibule protects your gear from the rain while providing a covered entrance to the 43-square foot interior. Marmot added mesh panels to the walls for increased ventilation in warm weather and a window on the vestibule so you can check conditions in not-so-nice weather. Pole clips make the Limelight Tent quick and easy to pitch, so you can get it up and get on with dinner and rest. Despite all these features, and this tent weighs only 6lb 5oz."

From UpsideOver:
"The Marmot Limelight 3-Person Tent w/Footprint & Gear Loft 3 Season tent follows the keep it simple principle for quick set-up and weight-minimization while still camping in style. A roomy side vestibule keeps gear dry in wet weather."

From Campmor:
"The Marmot Limelight 3 tent sleeps 3 campers and even gives them room for extra gear by giving them 2 generous vestibules of 10 sq.ft. ea. Featuring 2 large mesh roof panels the Limelight 3 is well ventilated and by leaving the fly off is great for stargazing. Perhaps the best feature is the easy set up because all the shockcorded aluminum poles are connected to the tent by Marmot Double Clips speeding and easing assembly. Set up is made easier still because there are no sleeves, just clips which also let more air move under the fly reducing condensation. The full coverage RipStop polyester fly provides complete weather protection, won't stretch and resists UV breakdown. And now the tent is even better because Marmot gives you a FREE nylon Footprint and Gear Loft (Retail Value $50) with the Limelight. That would be FREE with the purchase of the tent. Sleeps 3 Main fly and floor seams are factory taped for extreme weather protection Bathtub floor - all floor seams are off the ground for superior water protection FREE nylon Footprint comes with the tent - keeps the tent clean and protects against rips, holes and abrasion FREE Gear Loft helps you keep thindgs out of the way and organized 2 doors & 2 vestibules (10 sq.ft ea.) for easy access and gear storage Full coverage Ripstop polyester fly gives complete weather protection DAC PressFit shockcorded aluminum poles for greater strength to weight ratio FREE standing design is easy and fast to set up 1 clear window on the fly with stitchless welded seams Adjustable corner stake loops for easy tensioning of the tent body.

Limelight 3P
Reviewed by mumphra, Jun 15, 2008

"Well the Limelight is actually a 3. 5 season tent and just went on a 3 day hike in the White Mountains (Liberty, Haystack, Lafeyette, and Lincoln) and it was great. I mean it is a 3 person tent that weighs under 7 pounds. With that said it is kinda big, but it's a 3-person tent."
