MSR - Tenda da trekking - Elixir 4 Gray - Bianco

Used on a 4 day hike in the Appalachian Trail and it worked beautifully under heavy rain for 2 adults and 2 teens. Early April. Between NC and TN.

Rainfly delaminated after a year stored in a closet at room temperature ( 70 F ) and low humidity ( 40 $ ), for no reason. Coating cracked and fall, and afbric got a faded color. Contacted MSR 3 times for a replacement rainfly but no response after 2 weeks.

Could be lighter, with more mesh but over all It's a great one person tent. You could squeeze 2 love birds in there if you needed to.

So we went on a 6 day trip to Glacier National Park. We split the tent up between 3 grown men. One took poles and footprint, one had the tent and the other the rain fly. The tent was very spacious fit all 3 6 foot+ guys and our bags inside. Vestibules fit all bags on one side and two camp chairs. Definitely light enough if you are splitting the work. Set up is quick and easy. I did it myself the first time to see if it was possible cause some reviews complained about it being hard. I also set up just the footprint and fly by itself to see how it worked. It was super simple and would make it nice if it was pouring rain. All in all it was a great tent. I would say only flaw is fly isn't the tightest, could have some condensation drip if it wasn't vented well.

I modified this tent for winter use. It was with us on our skiing trip last winter in Finnish Lapland with my wife. I have modified 2 such tents earlier. This MSR is shorter and narrower than they, but it has more useful breadth and length because its walls are vertical and it has much wider headroom also to dry wet clothes on the gear loft. In the summer it also has a feature to pitch it up dry during rain. You can pitch the poles up over the foot print, then the fly sheet and you can pitch the inner tent under its protective shelter. So I know that it is a super great winter tent and a summer tent as well!
