Perennially popular two-person tent

The MSR Elixir 2 tent is one of the most popular picks for British backpackers and wild campers, and it’s easy to see why. Quick and easy to pitch, with a sturdy freestanding design, it is genuinely roomy enough to comfortably accommodate two people and their gear. You also get two large doors, while the latest version also now boasts larger porches that offer 35% more space – giving you plenty of room to stash wet waterproofs, muddy boots, a hefty pack and still leave space to brew up on your stove if necessary. It also includes a footprint to protect your groundsheet, which can alternatively be used with the flysheet and poles along for a minimalist, fast and light setup.
