    • I couldn't be happier!
Where do I start? So many other reviews have already spoken to how amazing this tent is! So I'll let you know how my first backcountry camping trip went with it. First, the hike in wasn't too long or difficult, 2.5 miles with a total elevation climb of 850 ft. Needless to say I had no problem with the weight or the room it took up in my 60L pack. First evening there it rained on us all night. I had picked what I thought was the best tent spot in the whole site. It was level, flat, smooth, almost devoid of rocks. So site prep was a snap. Tent was set up, with rain fly, in less than 10min. When I woke up the next morning, to relieve myself at 5:00am, my hand hit the bottom of the tent and I heard a splash sound and thought I felt my hand get wet. I was about to freak! NOPE! My hand was tricked by the coldness of the tent bottom. The inside of it, along with all our stuff was dry. When I got out I saw why the spot I picked was so nice..... Its where all the rain water puddles when it rains. We were sitting in a half inch deep puddle of water! The next, and last, night was beautiful. Cold but beautiful! Slept without the rain fly so that we could star gaze. Tent packed up easily and fast. And cleaned up nice a few days later at home. About myself: I'm 6'3" 190lb and my girlfriend is a bit shorter than me. We both fit very comfortably and still would have with another adult my size. Don't be food by ppl saying it's not a 3 person tent. They must be just trying to live in it or something. Because I don't know about y'all, but I only use my tent for sleeping or to escape the rain. ... show more

    • Great buy
This tent is the real deal. Just got back from camping in awful weather and the MSR Elixir 3 stood tough. We had almost continuous rain, freezing temps at night, and we all stayed warm and dry. The setup is seriously a breeze. Very intuitive and fluid. If you watch the youtube set up video from MSR you are all ready. Just an FYI, this tent would be a VERY tight squeeze with 3 large adults. Granted I am 6'0 250, but there is no way that three adults would fit in here. You absolutely can fit three sleeping pads, but you will be flush against the others next to you. We had myself, my girlfriend and two large labs and were perfectly fine. and comfy. The rain fly is by far the best I've seen and functioned flawlessly. The vents are useful to keep condensation out. You do not receive any extra tent stakes, so be sure not to misplace them. For less than 300$ this tent is a no brainer. Ive slept in tents ranging from old school military, to top of the line expedition tents, and to be honest I liked this best. ... show more

    • Seams will FAIL! You're on your own
Tent rainfly seams/tape began to peel and flake on their own without even a single use. Customer service does not repair even though it's a product failure, and you're direct to repair on your own. MSR has lost their way and I cannot recommend their products to anyone as their products deteriorate without any use. Avoid if you are seeking a durable product. ... show more

    • GREAT TENT!
This setup is amazing, Its been awhile since I have had a new tent and I couldn't be happier! The color coded poles and clips makes setup a breeze...5 mins or less and it was ready to be occupied. The unique hub system that is used makes it so simple even for one person to setup and prevents the awkward balancing act with a dual pole system like this one. As with any tent you could squeeze 3 in but I purchased with the intent of two plus small dog so it will be perfect for that. I like the balance between mesh and solid walls opposed to a complete mesh wall as it sleeps slightly warmer but with dual doors and dual vent on opposing sides its easy to get good ventilation. The listed size of 20x8x8 is basically the stuff sack and I found that I easily condensed the setup and saved several inches all the way around and had extra room in the stuff sack. Great value with the footprint included and basic aluminum stakes....this was ready to go and didn't require any additional items for real world use. Would buy again! ... show more

    • SOME ENGINEERING ISSUES
This tent is no better or worse than any other tent. However, it could be fixed. It has some engineering issues. We camped for three weeks. There were times that it was so hot in this tent, I just wanted to run out of it to get a breath of cool air. Most of the time, it was like a sauna in the tent. Even with the fly partially off, it was still hot inside with just two people. This tent is only fit for two, not three. Here is the problem. There are two doors in this tent. Each door has solid material from the bottom to half way up the door. The top part of the door is netting. As your bodies heat the tent, the body heat rises, but there is no place for the outside air to flow into the tent (except the top portion of the doors). Because the netting on the door is so high up, and close to the netting in the dome, little air exchange is taking place. No cool outside air is drawn across your bodies where you are laying down. As heat rises, there needs to be a low area of the tent where cooler outside air can come in and pass the people laying down in the tent. If MSR were to make a "double door" system.... one door that is entirely mess and the other door that they now have (and the user be able to decide which door to use given the outside temps), then you could change the flow of air as needed. Having an all mesh door, from top to bottom, allows the cooler air along the ground to be carried into the tent, across the occupants, and up to the dome of the tent as the hotter body heat rises. Right now, you have the mesh near the top of the tent, and it is doing nothing to circulate air. For this reason, I just could not give this tent a better rating, even though it does have some good qualities. It is extremely easy to set up and break down, cleans easily, and is very waterproof. The two door system is nice. I love that you can erect the fly in the rain and then put up a dry tent under it. We had some rain on our trip and this was a good feature. ... show more
