## Overview

The MSR Elixir 1-Person Lightweight Backpacking Tent is a 3-season, 4.1-pound shelter designed for solo backpackers seeking a durable, easy-to-set-up tent with a spacious rectangular floorplan. Featuring advanced waterproofing (up to 3,000mm), all-metal corner hardware, and strategic mesh ventilation, it balances comfort, weather protection, and eco-friendly materials.

## Description

The MSR Elixir series is ideal for newer backpackers and those who want a super-versatile shelter for a variety of adventures that’s easy to set up and a great value. Already a backcountry mansion thanks to features like spacious vestibules and gear lofts, the Elixir now has even more room to stretch out on modern wide sleeping pads. Updated fabric coatings increase hydrolysis resistance to improve durability, waterproofness and extend the life of the tent. The updated Elixir still includes a footprint, perfect for newer users getting into camping and backpacking.

Review: Lightweight, well made 1P tent - This is my first 1P tent, so I can’t compare it to another. I have been surprised by the low weight and its small packing size. I am not an ultralight aficionado, so if you are looking for the lightest tent, check forums. This one was fine for me. I was hiking in good weather, so essentially just needed the tent for sleeping. I did not use the rain flap, so can’t speak to the spaciousness of the vestibule. There is a cross piece at the top of the tent which makes it feel a little more spacious, but it would be a drag to have to spend a rainy day in the space, probably. It is well engineered and easy to set up. If setting up in the rain, the inside will get wet because the fly is not integrated, but otherwise a good setup.
Review: Perfekt till solovandraren - Låg vikt, enkelt att sätta upp. Perfekt för vandraren
