MSR Carbon Reflex 2 Tent 2-Person 3-Season

Item #CAS0527 | 4 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Killer 1 1/2 person tent

By Ranked #118 - 3-Season Tents September 4, 2009

OK, it could be a 2 person tent, if the people are small and don't mind being close. But, really, it's a comfortable 1-person tent, with room for some of your gear. Obviously, it's ridiculously light, and this makes it much easier to justify having a 2-person tent for just one person. It is not free-standing, but is quite sturdy (even without being guyed out) and easy to pitch. At first, I wasn't sure about the vertical zippered access to the rear vestibule, but found that it provides decent access. It has ample headroom, and generally feels about as roomy as my older Hubba Hubba (except there's not as much elevation in the corners, which is not a problem unless you're trying to sleep two people side-by-side). If you want to try to shed some pounds (yet still have a roomy, double wall tent), and you have some cash to spare, this would be a hard tent to beat.
