Built on a structual foundation of Easton Carbon FX poles, that are our lightest, double wall tents offering uncompromised protection and advanced, full featured livability.Three used to be a crowd, especially in the backcountry. Enter the freestanding Carbon Reflex 3 shelter, which eliminates the hassle of figuring out the sleeping arrangements for you and your two closest friends. With two full doors and two vestibules, the Carbon Reflex 3 offers plenty of room at the same weight as many ultralight two-person tents. The tent's lightweight design stems from its MSR Custom Carbon 6.3 poles, which weigh up to 30 percent less than aluminum yet with a stronger build. The tent's unique geometry, meanwhile, provides ample center height and steep sidewalls, helping it maximize usable space. You can even set up the tent in different configurations: as a double-wall tent or just the fly and footprint. Also great as a roomy two-person tent, the Carbon Reflex 3 stands 46 inches at its tallest point and boasts a packaged weight of 4 pounds 8 ounces.
The Carbon Reflex 3 offers 41.5 square feet of living space and two 10-square-foot vestibules. |

Best 3/2 person tent I've owned!
This tent impresses me no end!

The tent body pitches taut all over with no saggy droopy areas and the fly is the same with only one exception.

We had very kind weather on the night, so I can't comment on how weather proof it is, but judging by the waxy coating I would guess that it handles water very well. It certainly handled insects.
