Whether our backpacking partners travel on two legs or four, the MSR FreeLite 2 Tent offers plenty of space without weighing down our packs. The two-person tent is extremely light while still offering a large living space that gives us room to move comfortably. The two-door design allows us to enter and exit the tent without having to crawl over our partner, and two side vestibules ensure that we have plenty of storage space to stash our packs while we snooze. The rainfly and bathtub-style floor are coated with DuraShield weatherproofing to keep us dry and protected from passing storms, and the super strong DAC poles stay upright in high winds. On warm, clear nights, we can gaze at distant constellations and count shooting stars in comfort beneath the mesh canopy.
