MSR Skinny Too Tent 2-Person 3- Season

The MSR Skinny Too Tent handles a surprising amount of burly weather, provides tons of storage space, and does it all for well under four pounds. A large vestibule lets you get in and out without letting the weather in as well, and a foot-level vents keeps that air flowing even in bad weather. MSR’s fully taped SilNylon, single-wall design includes several guy-line points to increase structural support during those times when you find the weather to be worse than you expected.

Bottom Line: Light doesn’t mean featureless.

MSR has a sweet little tent in the skinny too. it is light, it is nice and roomy, and it is well-priced. i would say you can't go wrong with it. biggest beef i had is that it is single wall, so no stargazing through the ceiling, but when the weather rolls in you'll be glad you had this guy. longest i used it for was a pictured rocks through-hike, and i hardly even noticed it was in my pack. great buy!

easy to use and light weight

I got this early spring 2009 when it first came out. I mainly purchased this tent because i wanted a light single wall tent with good ventilation. I dont mind it being a non-free standing tent, I normally guy my tent out anyways even if it is a free standing. Setup is a breeze if you practice in your backyard a couple times before your first real use. With ventilation, the tubular setup allowed a breeze to constantly flow straight through. almost no condensation. The back window gives a great view of the sky at night and is easy to zip up if it starts to rain. The vestibule is roomy enough for two 40 pound packs and boots.
The inside of the tent has no storage, except for a little pocket in front by the door.

Is the back of the tent just a large window / door? Is there

Is the back of the tent just a large window / door? Is there any way to cover it in case you have nosy neighbors?

Hello! Yeah the images are a bit tough to decipher. As a three season tent, you can be sure that once this is fully set up with the fly, it will be all closed up. Gotta keep the rain out, ya know?

great light tent

By:

I bought a MSRskinny too tent early this summer. I must say i am impressed. For an ultra-lite tent, it is very roomy. I slept alone most of my trip, but one night during my climbing trip, my buddy, Josh, who was asleep in an eagle's nest, woke me up at three a.m., geting in my tent. Ihad a full foot gap between us. For a single wall tent, it is super dry. The vestibule is capable of holding the gear of two men for a short trip. The only thing I don't like about this tent is that it is not free-standing. However, this makes the tent lighter and I was drawn to the weight for this reason. This tent holds up great in 30 mph plus wind. Make sure you have your guide wires up on the sides or it will slap you in the face. Overall, this is a great tent.But but i would suggest the use of a footprint.

Great Tent, Great Price

Great two person, three season tent. It is a great performing one layer tent. It does more than just get the job done. It keeps you dry and its got room to keep your gear dry too. I recommend using "Permanent Water-Gaurd" to increase its waterproof ability. Though it is good. I still need a four season tent, but this one is a great summer tent for lightweight backpacking. It isn't as free standing as a dome tent, but once the guy lines are tied, you're all set. For 200 bones, you get what you pay for....Yet another great product from MSR.
