Description Capacity: 2 Person Season: 3 Season Brand: MSR Material: Nylon Features: Ultralight Model: Flylite Trekking Pole Color: Blue UPC: Does not apply
Seller Notes: Used only 3 nights as a solo in the Sierras. Great tent, but was replaced this year with an even lighter Cuben Fiber Zpacks 2P tent. Otherwise, I'd still be using it. I've made a slight modification to it, adding a tie-out (a Grip Clip and siliconed around it) mid-ceiling to improve rain shedding and to make it more bomb-proof in a wind. A 3rd trekking pole, tree or a branch completes the rear additional support. The tall vertical wall profile is great for maneuverability, tent volume, headroom and siting up, but catches wind, so a little extra guying is necessary in exposed areas. Tent design and specs are unchanged since introduction 3 years ago. Great solo for large person. I'm 6'4" 220 lbs and it was a palace. All OEM guy lines and all 9 MSR Mini Groundhog stakes included. Total weight (including all stuff sacks, DAC pole, 9 pegs and guy lines): 28 oz.Manufacturer Description:Lightest full-protection shelter for two we've ever made.The MSR FlyLite minimalist backpacking tent builds upon MSR weight-saving technologies and livable features to offer ounce-counters the lightest possible full-protection shelter available. Weighing just .71 kg (1 lb 9 oz), the 2-person trekking pole tent trims pack weight, so you can ramp up the daily mileage on your PCT thru-hike or fast-packing trip through the Sierras. Backpackers of any pace will appreciate the fully enclosed, single-wall tent for warmth, privacy and bug-free protection. Vertical walls and ample headroom let you stretch out and organize gear, and the large door has a vent to minimize condensation and a large awning with side wings to help keep you dry when the rains hit.Ultralight: Efficient single-wall tent design weighs just .71 kg (1 lb 9 oz) and pitches quickly with two standard trekking poles.Livable: Greatest volume-to-weight ratio of all MSR® tents, with vertical walls and ample head and elbow room; large vented door with covered entry.Protection: Strong, coated fabric, taped seams and reinforced stress points offer lasting protection.More FeaturesStandard trekking pole compatibilityReinforced corner and peak patchesUltralight fabricLarge awning with side wingsLarge venting doorMesh side ventsSpecs: Also Included: 2 guy cords, 2 aluminum cord tensionersBody Weight (Metric): 708gBody Weight (Standard): 25ozCapacity: 2Color: BlueCountry of Origin: ImportedFloor Area (Metric): 2.7sq. mFloor Area (Standard): 29sq. ftFloor Fabric: 20D ripstop nylon 1200mm polyurethane & siliconeFrame Weight (Metric): 39gFrame Weight (Standard): 1ozFreestanding: NoInterior Peak Height (Metric): 112cmInterior Peak Height (Standard): 44inMesh Type: 10D Micro MeshMinimum Weight (Metric): 710gMinimum Weight (Standard): 25ozNumber of Doors: 1Number of Poles: 1 DAC 9mmNumber of Stakes: 9 MSR MiniGroundhog™Packed Size (Metric): 46 x 15cmPacked Size (Standard): 18 x 6inPacked Weight (Metric): 1020gPacked Weight (Standard): 36ozRainfly Fabric: 10D ripstop nylon 1200mm polyurethane & siliconeTent Volume (Metric): 2039litersTent Volume (Standard): 72cu. ft
