MSR FreeLite 1 Ultralight Backpacking Tent 2022

The new MSR FreeLite 1 is a one person ultra-lightweight backpacking tent for exceptionally lightweight trekking and backpacking or for mountain marathon and competitions.

The 2022 version of the MSR Freelite 1 is 250 grams lighter than the previous version with a super liveable semi-freestanding design for light weight backpacking & trekking.

The Freelite 1 will lighten your pack without sacrificing liveable tent space with the ultralight, semi-freestanding designed for people who want to make the most of their three-season adventures without being weighed down by their packs.

The Inside: 170 g lighter than the previous FreeLite, it still has the true rectangular floor (no foot end taper like most other tents) and a full one metre head height.
The micromesh tent inner provides excellent ventilation and has a fully waterproof bathtub-style floor.

Two ‘no-curve’ tent doors keep give each person their own access so no one has to crawl over the other to get out of the tent.  That’s especially convenient if one person need to get out of the tent while the other is asleep.   

The new zips are more durable and easy to use with one hand. They also zip closed to a single point so you always know where to open the door, even in the dark.
New tech-friendly pockets feature cable ports at the corners for headphone and charging cords. Overhead gear loft pockets are perfect for headlamps, sunglasses and other quick-access items.

The Outside: The FreeLite’s semi-freestanding design is easy and quick to set up. Super strong DAC NFL tent poles, a DuraShield™ waterproof coating and taped seams keep the weather where it belongs—outside.

The cutaway rain fly saves weight and features large vestibules for storing any gear you don’t want in the sleeping area. Easy in-and-out vestibule doors have StayDry™ rain gutters to keep water from dripping onto you and your gear.

The Bottom Line: The semi-freestanding solo FreeLite provides the camp comfort you need after putting down the miles at a weight you won’t even notice.
