The MSR Elixir 1-Person Backpacking Tent are ideal for newer backpackers and those who want a versatile, durable shelter. They are easy to set up and super spacious.

The Inside: The interior is a roomy 18 sq. ft. (1.70 sq. m), so you can stretch out in camp. It easily accommodates a modern wide sleeping pad thanks to the true rectangular floor. The tent body is a mix of mesh and solid fabric for the perfect blend of breathability and privacy. The no-curve tent door features zippers that are easy to use with one hand. They also zip closed to a single point, so you always know where to open the door, even in the dark. Tech-friendly pockets feature cable ports at the corners for headphones and charging cords. A large overhead gear loft pocket is perfect for a headlamp, sunglasses, and other quick-access items.

The Outside: The colour-coded pole and clip design make setup easy. Strong aluminium poles, a PFAS-free water-repellent coating and taped seams keep the Elixir stable and dry. The rainfly features a large vestibule for storing any gear you don’t want inside. The easy-in and out vestibule door features a StayDry™ rain gutter to catch any drips, while the updated kickstand vent adds even more airflow. Premium metal corner hardware is easy to use and super durable for years of use.

The Bottom Line: If you’re looking for a solo backcountry mansion, look no further than the Elixir 1 tent.

  • The most livable solo backpacking tent in its class.
  • Super Livable - True rectangular floorplan and spacious interior fit a modern wide sleeping pad with ease; unique pole geometry provides exceptional headroom (39 in/0.99 m).
