MSR Fury Tent: 2-Person 4-Season
MSR Fury
By Sean Chism
Ranked #118 - 4-Season Tents
January 5, 2011
The MSR Fury is a resonably light weight, robust, and livable tent. The interior space is adequate, but a high ceiling with large floorpaln helps. The three pole geometry increases head room while creating a super strong shelter from mother natures fury. One intrance is not as good as two, but the trade off is a lighter weight (7.0lb stakes, poles, fly, body). The vestibule is quite large, easily holding two packs, boots, and a full sized dog. The ventilation is pretty good, especially when the tent's rear is placed into the wind. MSR uses the highest end materials on the market, and they don't cut corners. The attention to detail is easily noticed everywhere in the tent. Even in the gear loft where two slitted pockest hold head lamps for indoor illumination. When compared to other two person true mountaineering tents, this is one of the lightest, and when split up properly can be broken down evenly (3.5lb each). The price isn't too bad either, over all a great tent, and a good purchase.
