MSR FreeLite™ 2 Ultralight Backpacking Tent

Covering serious ground with a light pack and still having a comfortable place to land at the end of the day is the whole point of the MSR FreeLite 2, a semi-freestanding two-person tent that's half a pound lighter than its predecessor without giving up anything that matters.

Inside, the true rectangular floor with no foot taper means two sleeping pads fit properly side by side, and 39 inches of peak headroom gives both occupants room to sit up and move around comfortably. Two doors mean no one is crawling over their tentmate in the night, with one-hand zippers that close to a single point so you can find your way in after dark without fumbling. The micromesh body maximises airflow to manage condensation on cool Canadian nights and doubles as a stargazing ceiling on clear ones. Cable-port pockets and overhead gear lofts keep the interior organised across multi-day trips.

Outside, the unified hub-and-pole system with DAC NFL aluminium poles goes up quickly when a squall rolls in without warning. The DuraShield waterproof coating and fully taped seams handle serious three-season weather, and the cutaway rainfly keeps weight down while still delivering two proper vestibules for boots, packs, and wet gear. StayDry rain gutters over both vestibule doors manage drips during wet entries.
