The MSR Elixir 1 is a one-person, freestanding backpacking tent built for solo trips where livability matters more than shaving grams. It has a roomy interior with gear lofts, a large vestibule for packs and boots, and a footprint included in the box, which most rivals sell separately. Straight door zippers and all-metal corner hardware make setup and entry simple, and updated fabric coatings improve waterproofing and durability. It is heavier than ultralight solo tents, so it suits campers who value comfort and storage over a low pack weight.
