Why we love it

MSR Elixir 3 Tent (footprint incl.)

The perfect adventure basecamp or palatial backcountry shelter for three (or two plus a pup), the Elixir 3 tent is durable and fully featured for maximum camp comfort.

The Inside: The interior is a roomy 41 sq. feet (3.79 sq. m) so you can stretch out in camp. It easily accommodates modern wide sleeping pads without overlap 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 doors feature 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. Large overhead gear loft pockets are perfect for headlamps, sunglasses and other quick-access items.

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

The Bottom Line: Feel cramped no more with the Elixir 3, which has plenty of space and features whether you’re camping with your crew or a furry friend.

A spacious getaway for three with room to spare.
  • Super Livable: True rectangular floorplan and spacious interior fits modern wide sleeping pads with ease; unique pole geometry provides exceptional headroom (43 in/1.09 m).
  • Easy Setup: Freestanding design, color-coded poles and webbing and included footprint make for fast and intuitive setup.
  • Privacy & Ventilation: A mix of mesh and solid fabric panels offer a balance of ventilation, warmth and privacy.
  • Weatherproof: PFAS-free DWR coating and taped seams keep the elements outside where they belong.
  • Lower-impact Mesh: Mesh fabric is solution-dyed, meaning it uses pre-dyed fibers to minimize the water and energy required to color the fabric. Using solution-dyed fabric reduces carbon emissions by at least 80% compared to our previous fabric.
  • Durable Poles: Strong 7000-series aluminum poles stand up to variable weather conditions.
  • Full-Featured Rainfly: Large StayDry™ doors with built-in rain gutters and updated kickstand vents for extra ventilation; large side-entry vestibules to store gear.
  • High-Quality Hardware: Easy-to-use metal corner hardware is super durable and keeps the tent secure.
  • Stay Organized: Large gear lofts for overhead storage, and cable ports on all pockets for easy cord management.

What our customers say

Malcolm A.

Verified Buyer

"I've been lucky enough to ski all over the world over the decades. So when I say Racers Edge Wanaka are not only world class but best in class, I'm comparing them globally. Their level of knowledge is second to none and is backed up by customer service I have seldom seen in any industry. They are passionate about skiing and even more so, they are passionate about skiers."

Citrine H.

Verified Buyer

"Wow! My sister and I popped into the store yesterday morning to buy some ski boots. Jessica gave us THE BEST service I have ever received. She was so patient and clearly very knowledgeable. She spent 2 hours making sure we had the best possible boot. I can’t thank her and the team enough."

Andrew S.

Verified Buyer

"Now, I'm a snowboarder and you’re mainly about that two plank ski-life. We don't mix a lot, but I was welcomed with warm arms with my one-plank, and your staff were extremely helpful. I want to applaud your team for one of my best customer service experiences of my life. Thank you."

"Spent a lot of time here this week! Took my daughter in to buy new boots and they refitted her existing boots for $100 instead. Ended up spending my savings on a new set of skis and getting my boots refitted as well. Great advice, smart team, know their stuff."
