Marmot Limestone Tent: 6-Person 3-Season Kiwi

The Marmot Limestone 6P Tent isn't really something to haul on our back for a big backpacking trip, but for campgrounds and backyard excursions, it's the perfect shelter for the whole family.

The Limestone is easy to set up with color-coded Easy Pitch clips and poles, while the Zone construction uses pre-bent poles for near vertical walls that create a downright palatial feel compared to other tents.

Spacious vestibules provide plenty of room to store soggy boots and other gear, so the kids aren't tracking mud into the tent.

Vents in the fly keep the air in the tent from getting too stuffy and stale when we're waiting out a storm, and the reflective guy-out points keep us from tripping and bringing down the whole shebang when we make a mad nighttime dash to the bathroom.
