MSR Access™ 1, Four-Season Solo Tent

Ultralight, four-season solo tent for ski touring and snowshoeing.

The MSR Access™ 1 is purpose-built for winter backcountry adventurers who demand both thermal performance and packability. This ultralight four-season solo tent bridges the gap between mountaineering shelters and three-season designs, delivering genuine winter-grade insulation without excessive weight, ideal for ski touring, splitboarding, and snowshoeing expeditions. Its central support frame is engineered to handle overnight snow loading, a critical feature for alpine and tree-line camping where weather can shift rapidly. The interior volume accommodates bulky winter gear,insulated boots, layered clothing, and sleeping systems. All without compromising the compact footprint essential for ski descents and long approaches. The tent's geometry and fabric selection work together to minimize condensation buildup, a persistent challenge in cold, humid conditions. Lighter than dedicated mountaineering tents yet warmer than conventional three-season models, the Access 1 excels in protected winter terrain near tree-line where wind exposure is moderate. Its design philosophy prioritizes the specific demands of winter touring: reliable shelter in sustained cold, efficient pack weight, and enough internal space to manage the realities of extended backcountry stays. For serious winter adventurers seeking a versatile, dependable shelter, the Access 1 delivers proven MSR engineering in a format that won't slow you down.
