MSR Elixir 4-Person Backpacking Tent

Description

Truely versatile, the Elixir 4 is built for everything – from multisport basecamp adventures to spacious backcountry camping with friends and family.

The Inside: With a roomy 5.11 sq. m (55 sq. ft) interior, there’s plenty of space for everyone to stretch out. The true rectangular floor easily accommodates modern wide sleeping mats without overlap. The tent body combines mesh and solid fabric panels for an ideal balance of breathability and privacy. No-curve tent doors feature one-handed zippers and zip to a single point, so you always know where to open the door – even in the dark. Tech-friendly pockets have built-in cable ports for easy cord management, while large overhead gear loft pockets keep essentials like headlamps and sunglasses within reach.

The Outside: Designed for hassle-free setup, the colour-coded pole and clip system ensures an easy pitch every time. Strong aluminium poles, a PFAS-free water-repellent coating, and taped seams keep the Elixir 4 stable and dry. The full-coverage rainfly includes large vestibules for gear storage, while StayDry vestibule doors with built-in rain gutters prevent drips. Updated kickstand vents improve airflow, and durable metal corner hardware ensures long-lasting performance.

The Bottom Line: Spacious, durable, and easy to set up, the Elixir 4 is the ultimate tent for adventures with your crew – whether you’re car camping, backpacking, or setting up basecamp.
