Forego the cramped bivy and ditch the heavy shelter, MSR’s FreeLite 1 delivers genuine comfort in a feather‑light package. With its rectangular layout and generous vestibule, you get livable space without lugging extra weight. Ideal for fastpacking, shoulder‑season hikes, or solo backcountry trips, this tent balances comfort and weather readiness where it counts.
- Sealed seams add a layer of protection between you and the elements
- Xtreme Shield waterproof coating on fly and floor, won't degrade like PU coatings
- Full mesh canopy for ventilation
- Composite poles flex under heavy winds, then bounce back to their original shape
- Super-lightweight fly and floor are moderately durable, but a footprint is recommended for rough ground or long trips
- Interior mesh pocket and loops for an optional gear loft
- For ultralight missions, pitch with just the rain fly and the Fast & Light Body or MSR Universal 1 Regular footprint (both sold separately) to save weight
