Why we love it

MSR Elixir 2 Tent (Footprint Incl.)

A spacious and durable backcountry shelter, the Elixir 2 is the ideal first tramping tent or a versatile adventure basecamp.

Inside Details: The roomy 2.82 square metres (30 square feet) of interior space provides plenty of room to stretch out in camp. The true rectangular floor design easily fits modern wide sleeping mats side by side without overlap. The tent body combines breathable mesh with solid fabric panels, offering the perfect balance of ventilation and privacy. Thoughtfully designed no-curve doors feature one-handed zips that close to a single point, so you'll always know where to open the door - even in the dark. Tech-friendly pockets with cable ports keep charging cords and headphones tidy, while the spacious overhead gear lofts are perfect for storing head torches, sunglasses, and other essentials. 

Exterior Features: Designed for easy pitching, the Elixir 2 features a colour-coded pole and clip system. Strong aluminium poles, and PFAS-free water-repellent coating, and taped seams ensure stability and weather protection. The rainfly includes spacious vestibules for storing gear you'd rather keep outside. Vestibule doors are equipped with StayDry™ rain gutters to catch drips, and updated kickstand vents improve airflow for added comfort. Premium metal corner hardware is both durable and easy to use, ensuring the tent lasts through years of adventures. 

The Verdict: With plenty of space for you and your tramping partner, the Elixir 2 is like a backcountry mansion wherever you set up camp.
