"I had a Big Agnes for a decade. ... It sprung a leak on a trip this time last year. ... I found the leak on a seam and called to ask about repairing it. ... They asked for a pic, which I sent as well as a pic of the valve cut off (per their instructions) and my new pad arrived in a few days. No charge. ... I’ll never buy a pad from a different manufacturer again."
"has a lifetime warranty"
"Last but not least, I want a life time warranty. Shit happens, and if something happens, I want to be able to get help even its few years from purchase."

"I’ve got a marmot limestone 6 and it’s great for me and the girlfriend! ... We use a queen air mattress in the middle and we can stand fully on either side of it. ... Lots of room for activities."

"I want YKK zippers. I want to be able to open the zippers in the middle of the night with one hand not have to deal with zipper snags. This is my #1 pet peeve. I don't want to be careful to prevent snags.. I want no snags no matter what I do."
"Ours has been through a decade of rain, storms, and even some hail and we've never had so much as a drop inside."
"I used a Nemo Meta 1 trekking pole tent that stood up to winds in Patagonia that shredded a friends MSR. ... Winds ripped a guyline attachment off the body of my Nemo tent, but the tent wasn't going anywhere."

"the much larger vestibule of the Wawona makes dealing with wet gear and muddy shoes vastly more civilized"
"definitely not a legit 2P tent due to the steep walls. It's basically an A frame."
"Idk why manufacturers keep selling 1 man+some stuff tents as "2 man tents". ... Even with my vestibule on my Kelty there is barely enough room for me and all my unpacked hiking stuff. ... I couldn't even share that tent with a dog."

"High stack does mean they're not the most stable shoes. Not for unstable terrain."
"I find the higher the stack leads to more rolling ankles. ... Shoes that have not worked for me: Brooks Cascadia, New Balance Hierro ... they have been directly correlated to rolled ankles for me"
"Saucony Xodus Ultra (v.1)- again very close but felt very unstable, rolling my ankle numerous times."

"it’s a little more challenging to set up alone than other tents due to the heavy metal poles and the old school pin design (where you hook the poles into the tent body). You absolutely need a second person to help."
"I find the instructions to simply be wrong."
"I think I spend more time trying to figure out which way is the front on the rain fly than putting the frame of the tent together."

"Unlike the Ozark trail I used before, the bottom seems quite thin/flimsy, I feel like it’s definitely designed to be used with a footprint"
We just got a Limestone 6P and on our first outing it managed the heavy downpour of a Florida thunderstorm with no water inside. We hope it will continue to do well with water resistance since we find it to be a nice tent in many ways.
r/camping • What the best 6 person tent that can with stand heavy rain ->Not sure why you rate the Limestone 6 lowly on rain protection. Ours has been through a decade of rain, storms, and even some hail and we've never had so much as a drop inside. Bomber tent. Halo 6 is the only thing we'd consider replacing it with.
r/camping • What the best 6 person tent that can with stand heavy rain ->Love my Marmot. I’ve had it 3 years and camped with it quite a bit. It’s been through many wind and rain storms. It’s comfortable, easy set up and take down, and has held up well. [Marmot tent](https://www.marmot.com/p/limestone-6-person-tent/SP_2145926.html)
r/camping • what is the Best camping tent to buy right now with no fake reviews? ->I’ve got a marmot limestone 6 and it’s great for me and the girlfriend! We use a queen air mattress in the middle and we can stand fully on either side of it. Lots of room for activities. The tent poles are super sturdy and it has a nice couple of vestibules. Highly recommend.
r/CampingGear • Recommendations for a car camping tent for two people that you can stand up in. $500 budget. ->I have a marmot limestone 6p and it’s served us well. Can’t say how it compares to others but I’m happy with it.
r/CampingGear • 6 Person Tent advice: I’d love to get y’all’s input! ->Exactly this. We bought a limestone last summer and have used it a couple of times and it's been a champ.
r/camping • Car camping tent recommendations ->Definitely this. Our family of 5 used this for so many years. FYI the bunk bed cots they used at the WV scout jamboree that weigh a ton fit nicely in this. Really durable tent in heavy weather as well, rock solid. Oh, more importantly it met the wifes requirement of being able to stand up without bending over.
r/camping • Tent Recommendations for Simple Scout Camp ->https://preview.redd.it/fpscman1nqsf1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93671db60143770d4eda9f990871ba3984b5cb18 Marmot Limestone is a good 6P. We dig it. Center of interior over 6’. Got a bit of weather and fine.. nothing crazy. Got new for $300
r/camping • Tent Recommendations for Simple Scout Camp ->That tent is cheaper direct from Marmot (https://www.marmot.com/equipment/tents/3-person/limelight-3-person-tent/AFS\_195115053215.html). I have a Marmot car camping tent which has been great but I'd not recommend the Limelight at 6lbs as there are far better options for backpacking. Durston XMid or XDome are very popular options in this price range for example.
r/CampingGear • Any thoughts on the Marmot Limelight Ultralight 3 Person tent? ->I like full coverage rain flys and good vestibules. Marmot Limestone has been my recent purchase and I’m quite happy with it. Great headroom. Before that, I used (and still have) my older 4 season REI Basecamp 6.p — great for storms, not much for headroom though.
