MSR Elixir™ 3-Person Backpacking Tent

Elixir 3 Tent - Spacious and Versatile Backcountry Comfort

The Inside: Boasting a roomy 3.79 sq. m (41 sq. ft) interior, the Elixir 3 offers plenty of space to stretch out at camp. The true rectangular floor comfortably fits modern wide sleeping mats without overlap, making it ideal for three people or two and a furry companion. The tent body features a mix of mesh and solid fabric panels, delivering the perfect balance of breathability and privacy. The no-curve tent doors are fitted with easy one-handed zippers that zip closed to a single point, so you'll always know where to open the door, even in the dark. Tech-friendly pockets with corner cable ports make managing headphones and charging cords simple. Large overhead gear loft pockets provide quick access to essentials like headlamps and sunglasses. 

The Outside: Setting up camp is a breeze with the colour-coded pole and clip system. Strong aluminium poles, and PFAS-free water-repellent coating, and taped seams ensure the Elixir 3 remains stable and dry in various conditions. The rainfly includes spacious vestibules for storing gear you'd rather keep outside the tent. The easy-access vestibule doors are equipped with StayDry™ rain gutters to catch drips, and the updated kickstand vents improve airflow. Premium metal corner hardware ensures durability and ease of use for years to come. 

The Bottom Line: Whether you're camping with mates or your four-legged friend, the Elixir 3 offers the space, durability, and features to make your backcountry trips more comfortable than ever.
