　　Ultralight, four-season tent for winter adventures near treeline

　　Built to be the ultimate shelter for backcountry skiers, splitboarders and snowshoers, the MSR Access 2 tent is lighter than a mountaineering tent, but warmer than a 3-season backpacking tent. Limited mesh on the tent body offers greater warmth on frigid nights, while the light and packable design saves you precious energy on the climb and descent. The interior is spacious for changing clothes, and the strong frame resists overnight snow loading. Quick to set up, the tent offers the protection needed for camping in less severe conditions, such as those near treeline—making it perfect for accessing the bowls, ridges and powder fields above.

Footprint sold separately.

A Transceiver That Talks to You: Ortovox Diract Voice Beacon Review
