Marmot Ultralight Footprint for Limestone Tent - Bottom Protection

In this review of the Marmot Ultralight Footprint for the Limestone 6-Person Tent the bottom line is simple: this is a focused, lightweight groundsheet for campers who want reliable protection under a roomy family tent. The reviewer found it best for anyone who already owns the Marmot Limestone 6-Person Tent or needs a footprint sized to those dimensions, because it preserves the tent floor from abrasions and punctures without adding bulk. Its construction and stakeout loops make setup intuitive while keeping weight low for car-to-site or basecamp trips.

Key Features

• Exact fit for Limestone 6-Person: Sized to align with a Marmot Limestone floor so the footprint sits flat and protects vulnerable areas under the tent.
• 150D 100% coated nylon: The coated nylon surface resists water and abrasion, extending the life of the tent floor beneath it.
• Ultralight construction: Designed to add minimal weight and bulk so it is convenient to carry without compromising protection.
• Stakeout loops: Built-in loops let you pull the tarp taut and keep it aligned with the tent bottom for stable placement.
• Large coverage area: With dimensions of 120 in x 100 in this footprint covers the full base of a six-person tent, reducing ground moisture and wear.

Who It's For

The footprint is aimed at campers who use a Marmot Limestone 6-Person Tent and want a no-frills way to protect the tent floor from rocks, sticks, and general campsite wear. It is particularly useful for families or groups who pitch a large shelter and want a dedicated underlayer that matches the tent footprint.

Those seeking a multi-purpose tarp for cooking or rain shelter might look elsewhere, since this product is specifically sized and intended as a tent footprint rather than a general tarp. Ultralight backpackers who must shave every ounce may also prefer a smaller custom-cut groundsheet.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Cons

• Not a general-purpose tarp; best used only as a footprint for the matching tent.
