MSR - Elixir 4 Tent V2 - 4-person tent tested

Bought for two people travelling on motorbikes, who need space inside the tent for helmets and bike gear.

This tent is roomy, and it's great to be able to fully sit up at any point inside the tent. Also great to have space besides the sleeping mat.

It's advertised as 4 persons, but like most tents that is very optimistic, and 4 adults would need to be very good friends to share this!!

The porch area is still smaller than I'd like, which is a challenge when storing wet kit, but it works so long as you improvise a footprint for that bit.

Very easy to put up once you get the technique right. Does pitch inner first, which I usually don't like, but have found it to be OK. There is an option to pitch the outer and footprint only, which is a good workaround in wet weather, and you can then fit the inner from inside (awkward but doable).

Overall, recommended.
