Marmot Limestone 4 Person Dome Tent Review

The Limestone 4 has two doors and a peak center height of 5' 3, which is a tiny bit smaller than the average height of the 134 other 4 person tents we have examined With 60 square feet of space inside, it is a little bit smaller than some other 4-person tents, and it could be a little cramped for you and, up to three other campers during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents similar to this one are a good choice for people who welcome spending plenty of time outside the tent exploring.

Some of the cool things about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking lightweight, making them simple to carry around. In nearly all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In good weather, you can do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are easily the most commonly seen of all the different sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to do better in the rain than other types, allowing water to roll off the sloped sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, resulting in the water pooling on the top. The most basic dome tent should have a rectangular floor, sloped walls two or more poles which converge in the center of the roof. Because of their construction, it is usually thought of that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

Beneath you can find an account of the tent's pros and cons.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Limestone can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not even have to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the floor with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Gives you somewhere to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big plus.
3. Internal storage. It is good to see Marmot has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your stuff.
4. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is easier to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.
5. Durable, water-resistant floor. The floor material is 150D 100% Polyester Oxford W/R F/R, which is a substantially thick and high-strength fabric. Meaning the base is not prone to rips and punctures. Also, the material has a 3000 mm waterproofing rating, which is very good for most circumstances.
6. Breathable. The Limestone's interior uses a mesh fabric on the inside of the tent, and this helps maximize the flow of air. With the extra ventilation, and this tent is great for use in the summer.
7. Fantastic Ratings The Limestone 4 has some of the best ratings of all the tents on optimumtents.com
8. Available in other sizes. Marmot has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
9. Low price. It is a great purchase for a 4 person dome tent providing this much room. Not many tents available on the market give this level of quality for only $389

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 60 square feet, the Limestone 4 is smaller than quite a few of the 134 other 4 person tents we have looked at.
2. No windows. With no windows it is not easy to keep the tent cool on a hot summers night.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately designed for the Limestone 4 footprint Even though the floor may be made of 150D 100% Polyester Oxford W/R F/R, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
4. A tad heavy for backpacking. Even though the Limestone 4, looks like a small tent, it is not probably the best choice for backpacking as it weighs 11 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
5. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many attributes to rave about. The sloping walls do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.

Marmot's Limestone 4 tent is good for bicycle & motorbike camping. There are a couple of other points not already mentioned above which, we found and liked, while researching the model: Zone Pre-Bend Construction Creates Vertical Walls, More Roomy Sleeping Area and Greater Head Room, Lamp Shade Pocket Securely Holds Your Headlamp to Provide Ambient Light and For family camping, when comfort counts.

Value for money: In terms of value for money, this tent is cheaper than the usual price of all the one hundred and fifty-four, four-person tents we have studied, this alone by itself does not make it good value for money. One should also think about other areas in detail, as we do with every tent.
