I operate a wilderness guide

I operate a wilderness guide service here in Alaska and I have been using the Elixir tents to shelter our guests, since the design first came out. The counter curving pole configuration was first engineered by Moss tents prior to their purchase by MSR about 25 years ago. All the early MSR mountaineering tents employed this pole configuration. This is the strongest three pole tent on the market and is manufactured with heavy duty materials that can take a punishment. Yes, the tents weighs a couple more pounds than the fast and light alternatives, but it is so much more sturdy that it's worth carrying a couple extra pounds. Marty Decker Frontier River Guides
