Description

Going solo doesn't have to mean a tiny tent and a heavy pack. With the MSR FreeLite 1 tent, you can lighten your base weight without sacrificing space or features for your 3-season trail adventures.

Key facts
  • Updated design is 6 oz. lighter than the previous version of the FreeLite 1—minimum trail weight is a mere 1 lb. 10 oz.
  • True rectangular floor (no foot taper) and 39 in. of headroom (3 in. more than before) make the tent spacious and livable for 1 person on ultralight backpacking trips
  • Micromesh tent body minimizes condensation, keeps out the bugs and lets in the stars on clear nights
  • Waterproof bathtub-style floor protects from the elements
  • No-curve tent door has zippers that are easy to use with one hand, and they zip closed to a single point so you always know where to open the door, even in the dark
  • DuraShield™-coated rainfly and floor and taped seams keep the elements outside where they belong
  • Cutaway rainfly saves weight and features a large vestibule for storing any gear you don't want inside
  • Easy in-and-out vestibule door has a StayDry™ rain gutter to keep water from dripping onto you and your gear
  • Unified hub-and-pole system and symmetrical, semifreestanding design make setup super quick
  • Super-strong, lightweight DAC NFL aluminum tent poles stand up to use and the elements
  • Interior pockets and overhead gear loft pockets are perfect for headlamps, sunglasses and other quick-access items
  • New tech-friendly pockets feature cable ports at the corners for headphone and charging cords
  • Reinforced patches, stitching at guy points and locking anodized stake loop grommets boost durability
  • Includes tent body, rainfly, poles, stakes, guylines, stuff sack and setup instructions
