Elixir 2 Tent
Perennially popular two-person tent
The MSR Elixir 2 tent is one of the most popular picks for British backpackers and wild campers, and it’s easy to see why. Quick and easy to pitch, with a sturdy freestanding design, it is genuinely roomy enough to comfortably accommodate two people and their gear. You also get two large doors, while the latest version also now boasts larger porches that offer 35% more space – giving you plenty of room to stash wet waterproofs, muddy boots, a hefty pack and still leave space to brew up on your stove if necessary. It also includes a footprint to protect your groundsheet, which can alternatively be used with the flysheet and poles along for a minimalist, fast and light setup.

A staple of multiple expeditions for more than 50 years, MSR gear is trusted by climbers, mountaineers, explorers and researchers in some of the highest and coldest places on earth. The brand has earned an enviable reputation for turning out reliable, durable, high-performance kit – and has come a long way since its founding by Seattle engineer and lifelong mountaineer Larry Penberthy in 1969. Back then, MSR – or Mountain Safety Research, to use its full moniker – was solely focused on improving the safety of climbing equipment. Why? Because Larry knew that better equipment meant greater adventures.
Since then, the product range has grown hugely, but the core ethos remains the same. That’s why MSR gear is characterised by its user-led design that prioritises functionality, simplicity and reliability, wherever you roam in the great outdoors – whether you’re on a weekend camping trip, or perched on a portaledge 2,000ft up one of the world’s big walls.
