MSR 19' Parawing

By Ranked #1766 - Tents April 29, 2004

The wing itself and the support poles are just what I was expecting and have performed well. The adjustable cords at the corners however are not up to my expectations for a rather high priced product. The cords are very thin and in any amount of wind the adjustable slide tightener actually cuts the cord and failed. I have replaced the light nylon cords and small aluminum slide adjusters with 1" nylon straps with adjustable buckles for tensioning and grommets to fit over the top of the poles. I also bought two more adjustable poles as it adds so much head room and is not much more difficult to set up. After making the modifications I am very happy with the wings performance but for a product of this price I would expect this design problem to be addressed from the factory.
