A freestanding, extremely-livable, and extremely easy-to-pitch 2-person tent that comes with color-coordinated parts for easy setup, an included footprint, and lots of room for you and a companion to take it easy
If you’re looking for an incredibly-priced, easy-to-pitch, freestanding, two-person tent that *actually* fits two people, then look no further than the MSR Elixir 2: an extremely livable performance camping and backpacking tent, and an ideal option for adventurers seeking an easy-to-assemble tent at a great value. Unlike many tents in this class, MSR’s freestanding tent design offers true-to-size capacity for two, and features two large doors, plus new, larger vestibules with 35% more space. The versatile tent balances breathable mesh fabric with solid canopy fabric to provide ventilation, warmth, and privacy, while the included footprint offers multiple setup options, including a freestanding Fast & Light pitch with rainfly. Whether you’re planning your first backpacking trip or your next one, the Elixir 2 tent is your remedy.
The Elixir 2’s unique pole geometry is designed to maximize interior space, the adaptable rainfly maximizes your view, and the included MSR Elixir footprint gives you the option of Fast & Light setup with the rainfly. The polyurethane waterproof coating won’t let nature rain on your parade, and the combination of mesh and solid panels let you breathe easy, while still preserving your privacy at the campsite. And to top it all off, the rainfly, footprint, guy lines, stuff sack, stakes, and poles are all included!
Beyond the Elixir 2’s brilliant technical features, MSR also included intentionally-designed details that increase the tent’s ease-of-use and livability, such as glow-in-the-dark zipper pulls, color-coded poles, clips, webbing, and vestibules, and built-in gear lofts.
