Okay, here she is, based on your feedback and coments!

The Marmot Limelight 3P, new design for 2016:



It's epic in size, bigger than I thought: 90"x68". My big ass can completely stretch out length wise, with my arms above my head if I so choose. Note the mostly empty 12oz beer bottle on the floor, for scale, that's about how long it took to pitch.

The only things I'd change (and these are minor). Is an option as to which side of the fly to open. As it stands, it's the right side or nothing. It only comes with six stakes, but also six strings. I'd add a gear loft too. It might be wobbly in the wind, but with all the guy-wires deployed, it's not going anywhere. It wouldn't support any snow load, but that's not a requirement.

It comes with it's own footprint also.

The fly zippers, while low, are easy to reach from within the tent, since the vestibule doesn't kick out very far.

It comes with a pole-repair sleeve also.

I already replaced the stake loops with black bungie cord, so that's about as tight as she pitches.

It's a bit over six pounds, and $230 OTD. With the vertical side-walls it feels gigantic.
