Deal Details
In store only I presume given the .97 designation. This is a decent tent for beginners who want to get started in camping. It's quite heavy for backpackers but day campers can share the weight if traveling with another. It costs anywhere from $254-$359 depending on the retailer. Materials are great for the price. Poles are also quite good!
If I didn't already have 2 Sea to Summit Ikos at Sierra a while back (shoutout to the Slickdeals rock star who posted it) or I would jump on this. My wife forbids me from getting another tent but mostly my bankroll. I don't think that you will find it online or in the app so if you have the time and gas in the tank, you may find one.

Image keeps coming in upside down even when I rotate it in photos. My apologies for the neck injuries for our more agressive members.

I looked at the picture that I took and it looks like 2053534. Good luck with your search. Did you see the post for the 3 person version? It is great deal as well!

Don't have one, but looks to be a solid little tent. Be a good one if your kid is in scouts. It is a polyester fly, which I prefer to nylon, because nylon will absorb water and poly won't. Also the fly comes down pretty low and the walls are low, so if you are in an actual bad storm, it should do pretty well. Just make sure you stake it in good. Also, get better stakes than what they give you. Stakes that come with most tents are trash. MSR Mini Groundhogs (or regular groundhogs) are the stakes to go with for general use.

OP mentioned a 3 person version at their store. Anyone catch a price on that one? The 2P gets tight once you add a kid and a dog.

Is this more heavy duty than a backpacking tent? I have a backpacking tent but looking for something more sturdier for regular camping.

My Costco had this for $85 this week, so I snagged one on a whim since it seemed like a great deal & I know Marmot is supposed to be a good brand.

I searched for it in the warehouse inventory on the Costco app while I was there (for the warehouse I was at), but it did not come up in search results at all (searching item number or marmot or limelight or tent). Not trying to send people on a wild goose chase or build up hope if you don't see it in your warehouse search, but just FYI and to add information to the thread.

Seems odd that it's $85 and not like $85.97, but obviously a ymmv no matter what.

.00 indicates a store specific markdown so I assume the store manager doubted that they would sell out even at $99.97.

Also, be careful with tents as they don't last forever even if never used. I bought a good 2 person tent from REI on an end of season sale just because it was good value. I didn't get around to using it for about 2 years and when I opened it all the waterproofing was peeling off the seams. REI refused to deal with it because it was out of warranty.

the .00 means that price is only in that particular warehouse. A warehouse manager manually overrode the corporate price to clearance it out of their store.

Ahh good call on the .00 being a manager's override! I only recalled the .97 part for Costco, but thank you both for the clarification.

Also thanks for the heads up to make sure to actually check it out before waiting a long time to use (which would probably be the case for me, too!)

It might be perfectly fine when you buy it, but when just sitting for a couple of years the seam sealant can flake off, even if you store it well. Same for any tent whether you use it or not.

BTW this tent does not appear to be available in PNW, and maybe all of west coast?

I haven't dove in, but not on the lightweight spectrum of tents I presume? I'm trying to build a cost effective ultralight backpack/ go-bag.
