MSR Access 2 Tent

The best 2-person tent for winter backcountry trips.

Now updated with rainfly vents and a swivel pole hub, MSR Access tents let you spend comfortable days in the winter backcountry without hauling around heavy mountaineering tents. Lighter than our mountaineering tents and warmer than our backpacking tents, these strong tents provide skiers, split-boarders and snowshoers with a robust home base for their mountain pursuits.

Unique frame design coupled with Easton Syclone poles stands up to high winds and heavy snow loads while providing a comfortable living space. The unique central support frame optimizes interior space, resists snow loading. The unified frame is easy to set up in cold conditions. Two doors and easy access for two people.

The cross frame increases the internal volume on many MSR tent designs, but with the Access 2 tent, the cross pole is extended to the floor, increasing stability in high winds and supporting the roof structure so it won't collapse under heavy snow loading.

The poles themselves are completely new composite polymer design created by Easton Technologies exclusively for MSR. Tough, flexible and lightweight the Easton Syclone poles are a leap forward in pole technology that helps give the Access 2 tent its strength while maintaining a low weight.
