MSR FreeLite

No, it is a semi-freestanding tent. While the main structure holds its shape, you will need to stake out the vestibules and foot area to achieve full tension and maximize the interior space.

The rectangular design is a significant upgrade over tapered ultralight tents. It provides consistent width from head to toe, which prevents your sleeping pads from overlapping and offers more room for two people to sit up or sleep comfortably.

No, the footprint is not included. Given the ultralight materials used in the floor, we highly recommend purchasing a compatible footprint separately to protect the tent bottom from abrasion and extend its lifespan.

This is strictly a 3-season tent. The micromesh body is excellent for ventilation and reducing condensation in spring, summer, and fall, but it will not provide the wind protection or heat retention required for winter camping.

Yes, the tent features two large side-entry vestibules, providing ample space to store packs and boots outside the sleeping area. Inside, you will find integrated gear lofts and tech pockets with cable ports to keep smaller essentials organized.

The packed weight is 2 lbs. This makes it an excellent choice for long-distance trekkers who need to keep their base weight low without sacrificing the convenience of a two-door, two-vestibule setup.
