MSR FreeLite 2 Tan Tent V3 - Ultralight 2-Person 3-Season Backpacking Tent

The MSR FreeLite 2 Tan Tent V3 is an ultralight 2-person, 3-season backpacking tent that weighs just 0.89 kg, making it one of the lightest freestanding tents in its class. Its semi-freestanding design with a single hubbed DAC Featherlite NFL pole delivers exceptional strength-to-weight performance, while the 15D ripstop nylon fly and floor with Durashield polyurethane and silicone coatings provide reliable weather protection. Dual doors and vestibules offer convenient access and gear storage, and the interior peak height of 100 cm ensures comfortable sitting space. With a compact packed size of 46 x 13 cm, this tent is perfect for fast-and-light adventures and thru-hiking.

Advantages

The FreeLite 2 V3 stands out for its ultralight construction without sacrificing durability or comfort. The hubbed pole system simplifies setup, and the fast & light option allows you to pitch the fly and footprint (sold separately) alone, reducing weight further. The micromesh canopy enhances ventilation and stargazing, while the waterproof floor and taped seams keep you dry in wet conditions. Its tan color blends naturally into the environment.
