MSR Elixir 3-Person Backpacking Tent

The perfect adventure basecamp or palatial backcountry shelter for three (or two plus a pup), the Elixir 3 tent is durable and fully featured for maximum camp comfort.

The Inside: The interior is a roomy 41 sq. feet (3.79 sq. m) so you can stretch out in camp. It easily accommodates modern wide sleeping pads without overlap thanks to the true rectangular floor. The tent body is a mix of mesh and solid fabric for the perfect blend of breathability and privacy. The no-curve tent doors feature zippers that are easy to use with one hand. They also zip closed to a single point so you always know where to open the door, even in the dark. Tech-friendly pockets feature cable ports at the corners for headphones and charging cords. Large overhead gear loft pockets are perfect for headlamps, sunglasses and other quick-access items.

The Outside: The color-coded pole and clip design makes setup easy. Strong aluminum poles, a PFAS-free water-repellent coating and taped seams keep the Elixir stable and dry. The rainfly features large vestibules for storing any gear you don’t want inside. The easy in-and-out vestibule doors feature StayDry™ rain gutters to catch any drips, while the updated kickstand vents add even more airflow. Premium metal corner hardware is easy to use and super durable for years of use.

The Bottom Line: Feel cramped no more with the Elixir 3, which has plenty of space and features whether you’re camping with your crew or a furry friend.
