A Spacious and Durable Sanctuary for Three

The MSR Elixir 3 is designed for backpackers and campers who want a high-performance shelter without the cramped interior of traditional ultralight tents. Engineered for maximum "liveability," the Elixir 3 features a true rectangular floorplan and a unique pole geometry that creates nearly vertical sidewalls. This provides 41 square feet of interior space—roomy enough to fit three full-sized sleeping pads side-by-side without overlap—and 43 inches of peak headroom so everyone can sit up comfortably. The tent body is constructed with a strategic mix of mesh and solid fabric, offering the perfect balance of ventilation for warm nights and privacy and warmth when the temperature drops.

Durability is where the Elixir series truly shines. Built with rugged 68D and 70D fabrics and 7000-series aluminum poles, this tent is designed to withstand seasons of heavy use in diverse conditions. It comes as a complete package, including a custom-fit MSR Footprint, which protects your tent floor from abrasive ground and allows for a "Fast & Light" pitch using only the rainfly and poles. The rainfly features two large StayDry™ doors with integrated rain gutters and expanded vestibules that offer 35% more storage space for wet boots and packs. With color-coded poles, clips, and webbing, the Elixir 3 ensures a fast, frustration-free setup at the end of a long day on the trail.
