    • No complaints!
Used it about 10 times now from winter camping at 12,000ft to windy days in the high desert. Overall it’s the best tent I’ve used. Although it’s roughly 4-5lbs I have no complaints with the extra weight compared to an ultra light tent. I needed a colorado 4 season that could handle High wind and rain. I’ve been in 50+ mph wind and hours of moderate rain.. all with no issues. Can set it up solo in about 3-4 minutes. So glad I went with the 2man, spacious for storing and organizing gear. It was very important I have enough space to operate for multiple days in the event of bad weather and so far it’s been perfect. ... show more

    • Excellent tent
Review Image by Merrrrr Merrrrr
Excellent tent! I love it and would purchase it again. It is pretty easy to put up and holds up well in rainy, windy conditions. I've used it on three trips and been happy each time. It is a huge difference from the poor quality cheap tents at the local sporting good stores. It is worth the extra money. I really love the alcove area. It works great for tucking things away that you don't want to get wet but don't want to store in the tent. It got pretty chilly in colder weather but for Summer through warmer fall temperatures this is a great tent. It has a nice big bag so it isn't hard to repack it. ... show more

    • Hell yeah! My go-to tent!
I love the quality, especially the rainfly gutter to keep the rain off from seeping into the tent. The zipper is high quality and love the zipper glows at night. My favorite part of the tent is the two triangle lofts to put my things up. The head/feet mesh pockets are great but be careful not to put any sharp things behind because you can cut the exterior mesh. It is very roomy inside and I like the color, too. I like the white walls to see anything crawling and flying bugs easily. I am very pleased and it comes with a footprint! That's a plus! I have not experienced any negative issues yet. ... show more

    • Love this tent
I bought this tent last minute to take on a backpacking trip. It was this or the REI half-dome, and I'm glad I bought this tent. Compared to the half-dome, this tent was half the price, but the same quality. It is heavier than the half dome, but that's because it's made with more robust materials, aka, thicker. The REI tent is mostly netting, and should be used with the rain fly, otherwise you get zero privacy. If rain is not in the forecast, the MSR Elixer can be used without a rain fly, and once you drop the rain fly, the MSR Elixer becomes lighter than the REI tent. ... show more

Let me start by saying I’ve hiked a lot on the AT an other random places, this is not a light weight or consolidated offering for “backpacking”. If that’s what ur looking for ur in for a huge letdown. First, setup time takes more than average (ur friends will be done with their tents before you for sure) - flip side of that is stability. This tent has seen very high winds and hard sideways rain with zero issues. Take the time to stake it in you won’t be disappointed. I use this tent for multi day camping in one location only, and it works best for this due to being solid, durable, and again bc of extended setup/Tear down. If u leave the top rain doors open all the way and it rains hard the white area above the red floor and up the side will get water penetration (so keep it covered and zipped closed!) ventilation is amazing even fully zipped closed. It also retained heat well. Again, manage ur buying decisions carefully I have a cot in it for only myself and it barely fits, I’m 5’10 175lbs and I wouldn’t want my wife in it with me over night :) ... show more

It actually rained our second night. Very sturdy and there’s was a lot of inside storage. Hiked up the mountain and weight wasn’t a problem at all

    • Waterproof
Loved the waterproofing quality of the the rain fly. Don’t like the amount of air vents as this causes chilly mornings and evenings. However, I am 6.6 and I fit perfectly in this two man tent. I use it on the Pacific Crest Trail and can highly recommend for it’s perfection against the elements and easy setup as it is freestanding once you place the poles in. Just be careful with the tension on the poles as takes some wizardry to twist and turn to get the poles in there holes Just make sure you have a really warm / good sleeping bag. ... show more
