MSR Freelite 3-Person Ultralight Backpacking Tent | 2 lb 6 oz

Ultralight, Roomy, 3-Person Shelter for the Trail

The MSR Freelite 3-Person Ultralight Backpacking Tent is built for backpacking groups that want space without carrying extra weight. With a minimum weight of 2 lb 6 oz (1.07 kg), it delivers surprising interior room that can accommodate three sleepers while keeping bulk to a minimum.

Inside, a true rectangular floor and 43 inches (1.09 m) of headroom help prevent feeling cramped, even when gear piles up along the sides. Two large side-entry vestibules make it easy to stash packs, shoes, and essentials, while interior pockets and overhead gear lofts keep cords, headlamps, and small items within reach for late-night adjustments or early starts.

• Minimum weight 2 lb 6 oz (1.07 kg)
• 43 in (1.09 m) headroom with rectangular floor
• Two large side-entry vestibules for gear and access
• Mesh body for ventilation and a waterproof bathtub-style floor

Weather protection is designed to perform in varied conditions without adding unnecessary weight. The DuraShield coated rainfly and floor, paired with taped seams, help keep the interior dry. DAC NFL aluminum poles provide robust support while remaining light, and reinforced patches plus stout stake loops contribute to long-term durability.

Thoughtful details elevate on-trail usability. Tech-friendly pockets feature cable ports at the corners, so headphone and charging cords can be managed with less clutter. An overhead gear loft delivers quick-access storage, and the cutaway rainfly plus StayDry rain gutters offer large vestibules for gear storage and easy in-and-out access.

Setup is straightforward thanks to a unified hub-and-pole system and a symmetric design, enabling a quick pitch in camp after a long day on the trail. When it’s time to pack, the Freelite collapses into an ultra-compact stuff sack for efficient travel. The semi-freestanding design also helps stabilize the tent on uneven ground, giving your group more camp comfort without adding weight.

• Unified hub-and-pole system supports quick assembly
