I was nervous because its not shaped like a bowl at the bottem but it was all dry inside when we took a look!. took shelter in a nearby building because there was tornado warnings. So it went through so extream weather. We have a 6 person for comfort even if its just the two of us it hold everything we have along. I would make the zipper pulls glow in the dark I think and get rid of the corner shelf things, they are useless, cant hold any weight but other than that it really held up! were impressed!

- review: {"Trailspace":{"Score":["4.0"],"Users Review":["This tent excels as a family based tent. Its construction is very good and made of fine materials.It is the configuration that really makes tents different, from one another. The Marmot Limestone has its entrances on the 10 wider face and its length goes back only 8 4 . This does allow room to place such things as the cots, bedding or air mattresses towards the longer tent walls. This leaves the central area more accessible to the doorways without obstructing them, unless there are more than four campers. While a lot of tent manufactures, REI and Marmot included, have saved a couple of manufacturing dollars, they have created a lot of negativity from campers who want their privacy without closing the fly doorways. There is simply no way to block the mesh panels without the fly being on, and once it is up in warmer climes it can get stuffy, especially on hot days."],"source":"http://www.trailspace.com/gear/marmot/limestone-6p/"},"Moosejaw":{"source":"http://www.moosejaw.com/moosejaw/shop/product_Marmot-Limelight-3-Person-Tent_10184910_10208_10000001_-1_","Users Review":["Bought this for my cub scount and myself. Very easy setup. Is listed as a 3p tent, this would be a tight fit. I'm only 5'11\" and 180, my son is 10 years old. Perfect for 2 of us. I like have 2 doors, no climbing over each other to get out for the 3am walk... Held up well in 30 mile hour winds on our last campout. Highly recommend this tent."]},"Sierratradingpost":{"Score":["."],"source":"http://www.sierratradingpost.com/marmot-astral-3p-tent-3-person-3-season~p~5486j/?filterString=tents~d~228%2F&colorFamily=01"}}
