The MSR Elixir 3 Tent is a backpacking tent with plenty of space for 3 hikers. You should probably tent with people you know, not with some randoms on the trail. Either way, there are 2 spacious doors to get in and out of, plus 2 vestibules when the rainfly is up to tuck a pile of shoes or your packs under. The footprint is included, so you can even choose to go Fast & Light (rainfly, poles and footprint only).

Product Reviews
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Rainfly is useless...so the tent is useless. I ordered a MSR Elixir 3 tent May 3, 2017. I assembled it in my yard when I first purchased it and again in 2020. Never went on the original trip I bought it for so had not taken it camping. We just went on a hike/climb this past summer and I took it with me. When I took it out of the bag, the rainfly was flaking apart at the seems. White flaky stuff falling everywhere..and also looked worn like it would if it had been sitting in the sun even though it had not been (my siblings could not believe it was almost brand new...they were convinced someone had to sell me a used tent accidentally). We did get rained on one night and it leaked horribly. Not just the seams…the whole thing. I was pretty shocked it was in that condition considering it was barely used. It was stored in a cool, dry place. I did contact Moosejaw last year (and again recently) and they said they couldn’t do anything since warranty expired. Also contacted MSR/Cascade designs last year and they asked for my address “in case” they could help but never came to anything. I just tried using Gear Aid seam sealant and water repellant spray myself to see if I could repair the old one. Still horrible (video below). Even being past warranty….This tent has only been used on one trip (was not used on any when the problem started) and had been stored safely. I would expect much more durability from MSR brand. - I also know it is not just me because a LOT of people have had problems with the rainfly for this tent (looking at other reviews).

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Elixir 3 - Very disappointing I have had my Elixir 3 for about 5 years. I take very good care of my gear was very disappointed when i noticed the waterproofing was tarting to flake off. I did not have time to worry about it before a kayak camping trip so i repacked it and hoped for the best. As always it was easy to set up and we settled in for the night. Later in the night it started raining and we woke up to a tent with 1/4 in of water in the bottom and all our gear soaked. I have other tents that i have had for ten years and they sill perform like new. I have always been a MSR fan but i think i will have to look elseware if there gear cant even last 5 years.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Held up to Texan Thunderstorms and Husky Shenanigans I recently picked this up to size up from a cheap two-person tent, and was at first a bit worried by the reviews mentioning leaks due to the lack of seam-sealing (which seems to have been corrected in newer models). I currently live in Texas, so the prospect of surprise thunderstorms with heavy rain is fairly common, and this tent had a trial by fire on its first night out. A fairly strong thunderstorm blew through in the middle of the night, and we remained completely dry inside the tent. For reference, a car roof "Dry" bag we had tried out had a ~2 inch deep pool of rainwater inside of it (which some of our stuff/compression sacks were floating in, unfortunately). The only hints of moisture we got were from keeping the rainfly vents open, which occasionally allowed mist to spray in lightly (an unfortunate necessity in Texas humidity). Additionally, the vestibule design ensured there was a sizeable space to egress from the tent without issues and our shoes remained completely dry -- the top pole gives the vestibule some extra headroom that was very useful for removing my rain jacket in the vestibule. It was also nice that the vestibule had several different guyout points and toggle points, so that you could have openings of multiple sizes. My only real gripe with the fly was the attachment to the poles seemed odd and the instructions weren't completely obvious (the older model used clips it seems, while the new model has grommets that you fit the tent poles into). Also, there was a fair amount of moisture inside the rainfly, but I chalked that up to the extremely high humidity throughout the day and night. Leaving the fly, tent, and footprint (definitely a nice touch that it has this included) in the sun allowed them to quickly dry without any issues. Also, using the two-zipper design on the rainfly, we were able to get some extra airflow to alleviate the awful humidity - zipping up the fly completely managed to also keep in quite a bit of warmth as the temperature dropped. The tent itself was great, though the lack of a true gear loft was a little disappointing, though the number of pockets and their placement made the need for one pretty unnecessary -- I'll probably just attach one from another tent if I start to miss it. In summary: Pros: -Pretty waterproof, can't complain -Good ventilation design -Very roomy, lots of headroom inside -Spacious vestibule (with headroom) -Vestibule opening is "modular" -Quick setup with at least two people -Lot's of storage pocket space -Included stakes are surprisingly pretty good (just typical aluminum J-stakes, but with cool red MSR coating to make everyone jealous) Cons: -Weird rainfly attachment (doesn't appear to be problematic, more of just a preference) -Gear loft not included (but alleviated by two tent-ceiling pockets, and toggles for adding a gear loft) For a car-camping tent for two people and a husky, this is a great fit. I'll be trying this tent out in Colorado soon, and I'm fairly confident that it will be perfect for the colder nights.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Terrible rain fly Granted I bought this tent in 2016ish, but this is by far the worst tent I’ve ever purchased In my life. It has had the least amount of use and the interior of the rain fly, and footprint has basically degraded away. Spoke to CS and they told me to too old for them to repair, and that either I buy a new one or reseal the seems wash the coating off and reapply new coating. Unfortunately this was my first and last MSR tent. I’ve treated my marmot, big agnes, and zpacks tent way worse and used them far more often with much better results. I only own their pocket rocket now. 2 stars only because the main tent is fine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I find it very roomy. I find it very roomy. I’ve read some reviews that say the fly will leak because of a poor glue. Have u changed the glue’s formula?
Date published: 2022-09-12
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Hot as Hades I didn't consider that the two doors are not screened from top to bottom and camped in extremely hot weather. Even with the rain fly removed, there is almost no air coming through the tent, making it nearly unbearable to sleep. I have an older MSR Fusion 2 that is excellent in air circulation. I should have considered that before purchasing.

Does this product come with a footprint? Thank you!

Asked by: Audi248
Hiya Audi248, thanks for your question! Yes, the footprint is included with this tent. Hope this helps!

What are the dimensions of the floor? Have you any idea why people had bad experiences with water thru the fly and floor?

Asked by: Kaykay
Hey there Kaykay, thanks for the question! This tent has internal dimensions of 84" x 68". Sadly I can't say for sure why some people seem to be having waterproof issues with this fly while some don't, it seems to be random from what I can see. If you have any problems with this rainfly or tent body just let us know, we'll do all we can to work with you and MSR to make it right. I hope this helps!
