The MSR Carbon Reflex 2 tent comes in under 3 lbs., sets up easily with just 2 poles, and has a spacious 40 in. of headroom. Generous mesh guarantees air circulation. Can it get any better than this?

  • Ultralight and extremely durable carbon fiber poles provide a 20% weight savings over Hubba Hubba model poles
  • High-tech nylon rainfly reduces weight and the silicon and polyurethane coating increases durability and resistance to damaging UV rays
  • Unique pole configuration provides maximum interior space, a roomy front vestibule and zippered rear window access to rear vestibule
  • Dry-entry design ensures water won't drip into the tent when door is opened for added ventilation in rainy weather
  • Generous mesh provides great air circulation and ventilation
  • Efficient, 2-pole design makes setting up this non-freestanding tent quick and easy
  • Attention to detail shows in the taped seams, welded reinforcements, ultralight stake loops, reflective guy cords and user-friendly door toggles
  • Ultralight needle stakes are virtually unbendable and seem nearly weightless
  • This double-wall tent can also be set up with just the fly and footprint (sold separately) for a compact, lightweight shelter at just 2 lbs.
  • Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only

Please note: MSR products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

Imported.

    Comments about MSR Carbon Reflex 2 Tent:

    MSR hit the mark with this tent. mine weighs 3 pounds 4 ounces with the bag and a few extra groundhog stakes. it hardly feels like you're carrying a tent at all. about the size of a small sleeping pad when it's in the bag.

    two six foot males fit far more comfortably than i had expected when i first set up the tent in my backyard.

    absolutely no condensation whatsoever - the ventilation on this tent is amazing.

    enough pockets for the essentials.

    for as light as the poles are, they feel very sturdy.

    it would be great if this tent had 2 doors - i think it would be worth the few extra oz. for the additional zippers.

    also, this tent comes with MSR needle stakes - which are junk. a tent this expensive needs to come with quality stakes - and maybe the footprint?

    obviously, this tent is excessively expensive. but if you're going to use it on a regular basis, it's worth every penny.

      Comments about MSR Carbon Reflex 2 Tent:

      This is a great ultralight tent that is a cinch to set up. Has excellent ventilation and is well constructed. When packed, takes up minimal space. Set it up near Crater Lake, and it served as our shelter very nicely.
