MSR Access 3 trekking tent

The MSR Access 3 expedition tent from the renowned American brand MSR is a sophisticated and lightweight model, specifically designed to tackle winter trips, mountaineering, and excursions in challenging weather conditions. One of its main strengths is the quick setup, which takes only a few minutes, combined with exceptional stability. The dome structure relies on Easton Syclone poles, made from a blend of advanced materials derived from the aerospace industry. These elements are significantly more flexible and durable than traditional aluminum or carbon, matching the lightweight of aluminum while offering a superior load capacity to withstand strong winds and heavy snow accumulations without deformation.

Element protection is ensured by the Xtreme Shield construction, which combines a waterproof coating with fully taped precision seams to guarantee maximum waterproofing and a long lifespan. The fly is made of 20D Ripstop Nylon with a silicone treatment and a water resistance of 1200 mm, while the lower bathtub is made of 30D Ripstop Nylon offering a resistance of 3000 mm to effectively insulate the interior from wet or snowy ground. The tent is designed to comfortably accommodate up to 3 people and offers ample internal space organized into a main sleeping area, with 2 independent entrances and a small vestibule for gear storage.

With a total weight of 2.3 kg, the MSR Access 3 offers a perfect balance between livability and lightweight. The maximum dimensions of the open structure are 330 x 213 cm with an internal height of 119 cm, while once packed in its storage bag, the footprint reduces to just 53 x 17 cm, making it easy to transport in a backpack. The tent is covered by a 3-year warranty against material and manufacturing defects. For those who desire additional floor protection against abrasion and rough terrain, the MSR Universal Footprint protective tarp can be purchased separately.
