MSR Freelite 1 V3 Ultralight Backpacking Tent

About the MSR Freelite 1 V3

The MSR (Mountain Safety Research) FreeLite 1 V2 backpacking tent gives you a versatile solo trail shelter built around a lightweight design.

The FreeLite 1 features a fast-pitching, semi-freestanding design with a single-pole architecture for ease of setup in time-sensitive situations. A micromesh canopy delivers maximum ventilation, moisture control, and insect protection with a single entrance for access and a vestibule for added storage.

The updated design features Easton® Syclone™ pole technology. This ultralight construction uses aerospace-grade composite materials that offer improved performance and reliability in heavy winds. All-weather protection comes in the form of Xtreme Shield™. This updated waterproof treatment lasts up to 3x longer than standard coatings and combines with precision, water-tight seams to deliver a long-lasting polyurethane and silicone coating that holds up to heat, rain, and storage.

The versatile design means you can leave off the rainfly in good weather to get a stargazer’s view of the night sky. For those seeking a fast and light summer shelter, the poles and rainfly can be paired with the FreeLite 1 Footprint (sold separately) for an ultra-low weight of 0.77kg.

A favourite among hikers, wild campers, and backpackers, the FreeLite 1 V2 gives you a low pack weight with a technical design that won’t let you down when the weather does.
