3.5 stars for the Twilight 3P w/footprint

Double doors and double vestibules are very nice!

My thoughts on where the Twilight 3P could be improved.

[1] the vestibules could be taller

[2] add clip connections for the middle footprint grommet straps (like the corner connections). this would keep the footprint taut. Without the clip connectors the tent pole grommet protrusions (colored pieces that fits into the grommets) are not long enough to fit fully through both the tent and footprint, after staking and guying the middle poles pull out of the footprint grommets.

[3] add an extra piece of velcro to the end of each 1/2 of the opening vestibule doors to allow the doors to remain open.

[4] sell the gear loft with the tent - and charge for it. Personally, I would rather pay a little more to get a gear loft than search online (everywhere) and still not find one. Plan now is to make a homemade gear loft.

All my other Marmot products have held up and I have no doubts about this tent with standing time and the elements.

Overall, I scored a sweet deal on very well made three season tent. My intended uses; bwca, winter on the lake, and car camping - 3.5/5 stars :)
