But had I not been car camping on a campsite it would have been considerably more annoying. The versatile tent features a large vestibule for storing gear and one easy-entry door. The inner tent is mainly ripstop fabric with mesh panels in the ends and roof to help ventilation. MSR have only gone and made the tent that Dan Bailey always wished someone would. I mentioned them more there and same things are applicable to tents as well. I wonder if I can get a Zoic rainfly to fit over my NX2? It is about half a kilo heavier, but having reviewed the Elixir 1 last year, my feeling is that for UK conditions it might actually be the better option than the Zoic. The inner attaches to the poles with sturdy plastic clips. This tent is extremely light and doesn't have any unnecessary features. Due to the dome-shaped design of Elixir 3, the body isn't going to be exposed perpendicularly to the wind. level 1. There’s a lot to like about both tent series. So the floor fabric of this tent gets in contact with the terrain. But the Elixir 1 felt only a little less spacious than my normal 2-person accommodation. When you have the rain-fly over, you also get two "fly vents" at the top (opened by pulling the fly down), which isn't available in most other tents and is great for reducing condensation when you have the rain-fly for extra privacy, weather protection or something else. Of course you can add your own but for testing I didn't. What do you guys think about these tents? backcountry.com. We didn’t encounter any great build-up of condensation during use. I tend to buy either the Hubba Hubba, Zoic 2 or Elixir 2. But some of its features just seem to make it better suited to less moist conditions than the UK so regularly provides. Yeah, I read all of that when I reading up on it. But, don't let the advertisements and commercial content deceive you. I didn't use the Elixir in last winter's snows, and MSR make a separate range of winter specific tents, but with its good metal poles, four guylines and relatively steep sides, I will happily take the Elixir 1 out in the snow this coming winter. Both offer 2 doors & 2 vestibules and similar space inside, Both tents have a lot in common (I'd say, 60%). We have updated our privacy policy because of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In terms of ceiling height, it's 48 inches, which is 7 inches higher than Elixir 3 - but remember, Elixir 3's pole design spreads high ceiling to more floor space and hence 3 people can sit inside more easily. The site will continue to be mainly funded by a subtle level of outdoor-only advertising but we now need extra support to ensure we can continue to provide the UKC that we all know and love. Nomad, gym rat, Starbucks addict and Tame Impala fan of OutdoorCrunch Team. I think if the Zoic had done (or if I had thought about it more and seam sealed them myself) the review would have been more - "this tent is surprisingly solid in really poor weather", because actually it does. 4 guy lines are included with this most recent 2018 version on Amazon, which you can use to tighten the tent and make it more stable against wind. In Zoic 3, this number is 102 cu. Interestingly it doesn't seem that the Access range isn't included, whilst those seem to be the 4 season tents that MSR have pushed here most prominently (and if I remember from UKC reviews, other reviewers have been quite impressed with) - so presumably they have pre taped seams to keep driving rain out? The tent body balances breathable mesh with solid canopy fabric to deliver ventilation, warmth and privacy. - which you'll get anyway unless you already have another one. We need to look at ways to keep the site moving forward whilst maintaining our key aim of allowing free access to everyone to our main content. Don't use the information in this post for the previous versions - although there isn't much of a difference. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. I think the Elixir 1 is bloody great: a clever, tough and spacious tent that doesn't cost silly money. Nevertheless the MSR Elixir 2 sells for £225, comes with a ground sheet protector and has factory taped seams. And these feature comparisons extend to all the tents in the Hubba and Elixir Series (1P, 2P, 3P, 4P). As you might already know, warm air molecules go up and cold air molecules go down. Often with one-person tents, there’s a sense of lack of space, even to sit up in, but the generous 1m headroom and good length internally made for a comfortable experience. Lengthwise, at 90 inches, it's 6 inches longer than Elixir 3 - which seems like a plus especially if you'll be storing a lot of gear inside - but Elixir comes with an attic gear loft and 2 large mesh pockets hanging from 2 walls. Another thing I like about them is that they allow you to see what you have in the tent pockets from outside. Overall, in terms of being waterproof, fabrics of Elixir 3 is superior than most other 3 season tents, but not the best one out there. When you have the rain-fly over, you also get two "fly vents" at the top (opened by pulling the fly down), Also, regular tears (due to condensation or not), . "It might not be light but I think the Elixir 1 is bloody great" says Toby Archer, "a clever, tough and spacious solo tent that doesn't cost silly money". Also, I reviewed. Hubba hands down if you're doing backpacking. . The stream won't be able to get inside the tent due to this "bathtub" design. All in all, it's a really spacious tent. Performance 25/30 In terms of durability, weather/wind resistance, ease of setting up, packed size and ventilation; Elixir 3 is the winner. The MSR Elixir 1. Advantages of Elixir 3, besides extra durability, is that first, it's easier to set up. When the rain-fly isn't in use and when any doors or vent channels aren't opened. Do you mean "but it is too heavy"? Regardless, if you think the space this tent allows is enough for you, but you think you might need more space during some activities other than backpacking, you can check out. Fast & Light weight: 1.19 kg / 2 lb 10 oz. Fast & Light weight: 1.62 kg / 3 lb 9 oz. So I call this a draw, but would like to add that being organized on the trail always worth it.
