The Limelight 2P Tent from Marmot is the high-quality tent that balances weight and liveability that you’ve been looking for.
The vertical walls of this tent create more headroom and a generally more spacious living area, and pitching is simple thanks to the colour coded clips and poles. This user-friendly tent has a double door and rear D shaped door to make it easy for 2 people to get in and out.
The seam-sealed fly provides a waterhead rating of 1500mm for protection in the rain, and the seam sealed catenary cut floor has a rating of 2000mm to keep leaks out. The Limelight 2P also has No-See-Um mesh on the interior to assist with ventilation and keep out insects from your shelter.
Featuring quality lightweight DAC Press-fit poles, and high strength velocity Aluminium 7000 ridge poles – the structure of this tent is super solid. Store your packs and boots in the vestibules on either side of the tent, and stash your phone, PLB and other smaller essentials in the interior pockets for easy access. You can also utilise your headlamp as a tent light thanks to the lampshade pocket which will hold it up to provide ambient lighting in your shelter.
Finished off with jingle-free zipper pulls, and a custom footprint – the Limelight represents premium design and spaciousness for two adventurers.

G'day Catherine,
Yes, you can. The Limelight Footprint comes with pole eyelets and fly clips, which allow you to pitch without the inner. Hope that helps!

overland track1 answer
hey I'm doing the overland track in feb. I'm 6ft2 me and my partner will be staying in the tent. how do you think this tent will hold up? we want something that we can use in summer for coastal hikes and something that holds up against tasmanian conditions. chasing waterproof and durability.

G'day Sam,
Yes the Limelight 2P should suit you well. They have quite a good internal length, with a fairly squared end wall which will help someone your height. This will suit variable conditions, and having a semi-mesh, semi-solid inner it will suit most conditions other than snow. They have a 1500mm waterhead rating which is fairly standard for a lightweight hike tent.

G'day Dion,
Ive spoken with the Marmot supplier and their zips are non-branded. They will vary with colour and style depending on the tent. Hope that helps!

Charlie - West Beach(5 years ago)
G'day Charlie,
We've called our Marmot gear experts and there isn't a separate footprint available for the Limelight 2P tent, however, you can use the Tungsten 3P Footprint.

Ridge pole dimension1 answer
Does limelight 2P come with 2 piece or 3 piece ridge pole? Just wondering if packed dimension is 18" or 23" for this model.
Syed - Tullamarine(6 years ago)
G'dau Syed,
The ridge pole on the Limelight 2P is a two piece and will pack up to the same length as the rest of the poles at 45.7cm or approx 18 inches.
