Limelight UL 2P delivers ultralight durability, spacious comfort, and all-weather protection for backpacking
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The Limelight UL 2P is my go-to tent when I want to go ultralight without sacrificing comfort. It’s roomy for two, with dual doors and vestibules that make entry and gear storage easy. The seam-taped rainfly and floor keep me dry in storms, and the DAC Featherlite poles offer a solid balance of weight and durability. With color-coded clips for quick setup and plenty of interior storage, this tent is a perfect companion for lightweight backpacking trips."
We love the balance of weight, space, and durability in the Marmot Limelight UL 2P Tent. Designed for ultralight backpackers who don’t want to compromise comfort, this freestanding tent features two doors and vestibules—giving each of us easy access and a place to stash gear.
Inside, thoughtful details make life on the trail more comfortable. Two internal gear cubbies and multiple pockets keep essentials organized, while a lampshade pocket transforms our headlamp into a soft, ambient glow for winding down after a long day. The seam-taped bathtub floor and full-coverage rainfly protect against the elements, while built-in vents prevent condensation. DAC Featherlite aluminum poles offer a strong, lightweight structure, and the color-coded "easy pitch" system makes setup a breeze—so we can spend less time fiddling with gear and more time enjoying the adventure.

Hello, I was wondering what type of water proofing is used on each side of both the rain fly and the tent floor (PU, Silicon, etc). Thank you

Under "specifications," this page says that the minimum weight is 2 lbs 16 oz. Isn't that the same as 3 lbs? Is there a typo, or is it actually 3 pounds?

In response to Rob_, you wrote that the floor was "100% Nylon 2000mm F/R," but in response to James Jin you wrote that "the rating for both the floor and the rainfly is 1500 mm." Is the floor rated at 2000 or 1500 mm?

If the tent is PFC and PFAS free, why doesn't say so in the description, features or specifications? Most other competitors make this information public.
