MSR FreeLite Ultralight Backpacking Tent 1-Person
Sold out
Our ultralight, super livable semi-freestanding tent for solo backpackers.
Going solo doesn’t have to mean a tiny tent and a heavy pack. The ultralight, semi-freestanding FreeLite is for people who want to lighten their base weight without sacrificing space or features so they can make the most of three-season adventures.
Features
• The Inside: Though it still has the true rectangular floor(No foot taper like most other tents)and 1.00 metre(39in.)of headroom(7.6cm more than before), it’s 170 grams(6oz.)lighter than the previous 1-person FreeLite. A waterproof bathtub-style floor protects from the elements, and the micromesh tent body provides excellent ventilation. A no-curve tent door has new zippers that are more durable and easy to use with one hand. They also zip closed to a single point so you always know where to open the door, even in the dark. New tech-friendly pockets feature cable ports at the corners for headphone and charging cords. Overhead gear loft pockets are perfect for headlamps, sunglasses and other quick-access items
• The Outside: The semi-freestanding design is quick and easy to set up. Super strong DAC NFL tent poles, a DuraShield™ waterproof coating and taped seams keep the weather where it belongs-outside. The cutaway rainfly saves weight and features a large vestibule for storing any gear you don’t want inside. The easy in-and-out vestibule door has a StayDry™ rain gutter to keep water from dripping onto you and your gear
• The Bottom Line: The semi-freestanding solo FreeLite provides the camp comfort you need after putting down the miles at a weight you won’t even notice
• Livable: True rectangular floorplan and 1.00m(39in.)of head room, one large side-entry vestibule to store gear, interior pockets and overhead gear lofts
