MSR Elixir 4

The Elixir 4 is a roomy, easy-to-pitch freestanding tent built for comfort and reliability in the backcountry—ideal for three campers or two plus a pup. With a true rectangular floor and lots of interior space, it fits wide sleeping pads with no overlap. A mix of mesh and solid fabric in the tent body balances breathability and privacy.

Smart details like one-hand zipper doors, tech-friendly pockets, and overhead gear storage add convenience inside. Outside, you’ll find color-coded poles, large vestibules with StayDry™ rain gutters, and a durable, PFAS-free rainfly with kickstand vents for extra airflow. Strong 7000-series aluminum poles and metal hardware ensure lasting performance.
