Why We Like The Elixir Tent
Prefer moving under your own power? The superlight, wildly livable Elixir Tent from MSR may force you to spend a few extra days at the lake. We appreciate the rugged 70D nylon on the bottom getting a shot of endurance from 3000mm polyurethane and DWR coatings. The body mixes mesh with solid fabric to keep you cool when it's warm, warm when it's cool, and dry no matter the temp outside. Made from 68D ripstop polyester and with taped seams, the DWR-treated fly lets fresh air flow without sharing such freedom with the rain. Two strong but light aluminum poles turn this mass of fabric into a delightfully spacious mobile abode. When winds threaten to blow your tent down, firm up your foundation by using the included six stakes.

Great in the rain
I bought this tent a few years ago. Two summer of 2024 nights on a PEI sandy beach: Thunderstorm and downpour the 1st night. 6 hour downpour and high winds the 2nd night. My GSP dog and I were snug as a bug in our tent cave. The pounding surf, the wind and rain kept me awake (the dog slept) but we were totally dry and totally secure. The fly dried off quickly when the rain stopped so it was an easy teardown. THANK YOU :)

Faulty product
I purchased this tent almost 4 years ago. The first time out one of the poles cracked. It has been kept in proper storage indoors for the past 3 years. We went backcountry camping this past weekend and the fly seams all leaked badly during rainfall leaving our gear (and us) wet. I am very disappointed in the quality of this tent. Especially for the expensive price I paid for a “reliable” brand.

Faulty Rain fly on the Elixer 2
Bought the tent 3 years ago and on the 4th use the seams started to leak during a rain storm. Emailed the warranty department 7 months ago and sent pictures of the seams and never heard back. Other than the fly, the tent is excellent and the rest of the MSR equipment I have performs well in the back country.

Meh...
It is not a 2 person tent unless you are really friendly with the other person. Zipper could be better at corner bend, it has to be encouraged to go around it. Nothing that makes this better than any other tent this size I have used.

Similar rain fly issues
Similar to other reviews, my rain fly is starting to fail apart. Seam tape is peeling, the fly feels "sticky", and it's starting to flake apart. Maybe the fly and tent were manufactured separately negate the tent is holding up great. Super great tent... good size for 2, perfect for 1 person if you don't mind the extra weight. Have used this in snow and it held up great. Hopefully I can get the fly issue sorted out or I'll have to look for a replacement system.

I work as a camera
I work as a camera operator for natural history films and much of my work is in remote and inhospitable environments. MSR tents are the only tents I have seen consistently hold up in extreme high winds. These are the only tents manufacturer I will use in the field after having other tents fail on location leaving me in a difficult situation with a broken shelter in a remote location.

Great entry level tent
The Elixir is easy to set up, very roomy, and has good ventilation features.
