The versatile tent balances breathable mesh fabric with solid canopy fabric to provide ventilation, warmth and privacy, while the included footprint offers multiple setup options, including a freestanding fast & light pitch with rainfly. Whether you're planning your first backpacking trip or your next one, the elixir 2 tent is your remedy.

Review: No complaints! - Used it about 10 times now from winter camping at 12,000ft to windy days in the high desert. Overall it’s the best tent I’ve used. Although it’s roughly 4-5lbs I have no complaints with the extra weight compared to an ultra light tent. I needed a colorado 4 season that could handle High wind and rain. I’ve been in 50+ mph wind and hours of moderate rain.. all with no issues. Can set it up solo in about 3-4 minutes. So glad I went with the 2man, spacious for storing and organizing gear. It was very important I have enough space to operate for multiple days in the event of bad weather and so far it’s been perfect.
Review: Excellent tent - Excellent tent! I love it and would purchase it again. It is pretty easy to put up and holds up well in rainy, windy conditions. I've used it on three trips and been happy each time. It is a huge difference from the poor quality cheap tents at the local sporting good stores. It is worth the extra money. I really love the alcove area. It works great for tucking things away that you don't want to get wet but don't want to store in the tent. It got pretty chilly in colder weather but for Summer through warmer fall temperatures this is a great tent. It has a nice big bag so it isn't hard to repack it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much does this weigh?**
A: Around 6 pounds, give or take a couple ounces. That includes everything- tent, fly, footprint, stakes, and poles.

**Q: How’s the ventilation? I’ll be in fairly warm weather occasionally.**
A: Very good

**Q: i just wonder if it is heavy for a girl to carry in backpack as i see it is 6 pounds?**
A: It’s heavy by today’s standards.  The MSR Hubba Hubba NX 2 is a lighter (and more expensive) tent by the same manufacturer.  They look very similar in the pictures, but the Hubba Hubba uses more high-tech materials.

**Q: Will tent stakes work that are width: 1.38inch. diameter of the hole: 0.42inch? I have to use different stakes because I need special ones for sand**
A: Yes, the loops are big enough to accommodate just about any type of stake—you’ll be pulling the corners out to keep even the loops taught

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hell yeah! My go-to tent!
*by J***P on June 8, 2024*

I love the quality, especially the rainfly gutter to keep the rain off from seeping into the tent. The zipper is high quality and love the zipper glows at night. My favorite part of the tent is the two triangle lofts to put my things up. The head/feet mesh pockets are great but be careful not to put any sharp things behind because you can cut the exterior mesh. It is very roomy inside and I like the color, too. I like the white walls to see anything crawling and flying bugs easily. I am very pleased and it comes with a footprint! That's a plus! I have not experienced any negative issues yet.
