I would recommend this tent to anyone

It's usually hard to give a product 5 stars but this tent deserves it, it's easy to set up, it's light and compact, it was strong on my last night Withstood rain, the tent stayed dry all the time, and even when the temperature dropped to 30* at night, it was still 5* warmer inside the tent, I would recommend this tent to everyone.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Some flaws

Highly recommended in the Outdoor category

There is not much difference between the 2018 model and the previous version. The glow-in-the-dark zipper pull and red doors are nice touches, though. Otherwise this tent is just perfect. I have used this tent in high winds, heavy rain and hot days; That's great. The rain cover covers the tent well, the wind just blows so hard you don't even realize how windy it is and the mesh keeps you cool.

Pros
  • High test scores for grip and durability
Cons
  • Failing

Great tent for two. Do not leave in the sun.

We love this tent! Enough that when a rainfly burst on our first tent after a few weeks of direct sun and rain, we bought another MSR Elixir 3 tent to replace it. We camped there all day through a tropical storm and incessant rain and we were dry and comfortable. It's well ventilated for hot weather and has little condensation at 50F. Just don't leave it in the sun for a few days! I wouldn't recommend it for three people. It gets a bit cramped for two people with a double air mattress and other

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Great price

Great tent but small inside.

Good tent, very nice. The zippers are smooth, the material feels very strong, the stitching looks great. The only thing I don't like about this tent is the space inside. It's 2 people, clearly, only for two, 3 people fit, but damn I'm getting claustrophobic. The tent inside, like most tourist tents, has very little headroom. You can sit, but the roof of the tent is literally less than an inch from my head (I'm 6ft tall). Tambour, inside there is enough space for a pack without blocking the…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Expensive

Amazing product best in tents

My 11 year old boy scout son and I used this twice last summer, once with one of his friends and once just the two of us. Both times we had enough space to make a long trip. With three people, my son in the middle, there was still enough space. In addition, you have your own door and exit for two people. It's very easy to set up and take down once you practice. It's light enough to be carried over long distances; We only walked five miles both times, but with a 2,000-foot climb from the…

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • poorly thought out
