The large vestibule stores your gear as you snooze, especially handy when the rains are falling. The single door opens wide for entry and exit and the body features a combination of mesh and fabric to let air flow and provide privacy when the fly isn't up.

Product Reviews

Rated 3 out of 5 by from i really wanted to keep my Elixir 1 for motocamping, but the measurements are inaccurate. i really like the ease of setup, quality of materials, design, etc. Where this let me down though is that I am 6’6” and MSR purports this tent to be 86” in length, or just a bit over 7’. This is blatantly inaccurate. When I measure the inside of the floor tub at the ground, it is only 82”. When you add wall slope 3” from the floor to account for a pad, the length measurement drops to a mere 76”, or 6’ 4”. My head and feet were pressing out on the walls of this tent when on my pad. add condensation and you will have a wet head and foot of your bag. Hello hypothermia. I returned this and sadly cannot use ANY MSR tent as this is the longest floor they offer. Though after reading about the numerous issues with the rain fly’s delaminating, I think I dodged a bullet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great in heavy downpour Borrowed sons tent to go kayak camping in the outback. Tent preformed great in a torrential downpour with heavy winds and saved the day. 1/4 of tent ended up being in an inch and a half of water (floor was like a waterbed!). Remarkably no leaks. Super impressed. Will buy an MSR tent when the time comes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome tent I love it! Not the lightest for a single man tent, but it has a smart design with plenty of room for a tall guy like me and a spacious vestibule. It appears to be well built and I expect it will last for a long time.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Ok tent Not the lightest one person tent out there but for car camping works Ok. The biggest negative about this tent is the zippers-need two hands to open and close and I’m afraid they are going to rip because they are so tight.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from msr elixir 1 person Great one person tent for entry level backpacking. Very versatile and is excellent for various camping style. I used it while backpacking in the backcountry and despite the little added weight, the tent is thought, completely waterproof and easy to set-up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to set up, roomy Easy to set up, roomy and well built. I use it for motorcycle travel and that it is relatively light weight and compact is a real plus.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I’m 6’3 and it’s good I’m 6’3 and it’s good fit , Winter camping and was fine . The wall is a bit steep on the non door side and that’s an issue if the wind changes on you .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Been motorcycle camping for 20+ Been motorcycle camping for 20+ years and saved the best for last. Used in one of the worst rain & hail storms I’ve been in and all was good. Plenty of head and sleeping room. Packs small, well thought out and quick set up. Many thanks for a great tent Pic from Willville Bike Camp, Meadows of Dan Va Frank

What is the largest size sleeping pad this tent can handle ?

Asked by: Bubba
Hey hey, great question! The interior dimensions of this tent are 32" x 84"; so you will be good to go with any pad smaller than, or up to that size. I hope this helps!

Can you use traditional tent stakes to stake down the tent in dirt?

Asked by: melissaanna
Thanks for the question! You can honestly use any stakes you like. Most people prefer the included Aluminum because they are lightweight. But if you want to hammer the stakes into the ground it would be best to use steel or something similar as Aluminum has a tendency to bend.

Does it come with the rain fly and ground pad?

Asked by: trail_hiker43
Hey hey trail_hiker43, good question! It absolutely does; this purchase will include the tent body, rainfly, poles, footprint, stakes, guy lines, stuff sack, setup instructions. I hope this helps!

Picture shows it set up with just fly and a footprint. Is footprint included?

Asked by: Nate
Hey, Nate! Good news, you found a great value of a tent as it does indeed come with the footprint! You, too, can be all minimalist and just throw up the fly on the included footprint. Hope you take the Elixir on some awesome adventures!

Freestanding???

Asked by: Mitch
Hey there, Mitch. Straight to the point, I see! Yes. Freestanding. Unless windy. Then no. To clarify: this tent, on clear, calm days, will stand there all tent like without the assistance of stakes. So if you had to pitch this on a cement pad or inside a hiker shelter, make sure you are not expecting any wind or pitch in a way that will help buffer any wind, otherwise it will dance around you as you try to sleep.
