The Elixir performs well from spring through fall in a wide variety of terrains. Setup is simple, and ventilation is effective. This updated model from the 2026 MSR lineup has slightly stronger fly and floor fabrics compared to the previous model. You stick both main poles to their corner holders, clip the inner tent hooks to the poles, and then just set the fly on top after putting the shorter, third pole to its place. The package includes a footprint, enabling pitching without using the inner tent. This setup can be handy when you need protection during, for instance, a lunch break. - Three-season shelter - Two-person model - Dome tent - Aluminum poles : Made by DAC, model NFL 8.7mm - Freestanding structure - StayDry doors: rainwater is directed to the sides, so you wont have to enter through a waterfall - A transverse pole improves livability: there is full-width sitting height in the center of the tent - Ventilation ducts at both ends - Mosquito net panels in the upper part of
