Ft Country of Origin Imported. For an MSR tent, waterproof means that all external fabric has been coated with our exceptional polyurethane coatings and the seams have been factory-taped, making that area of the tent impermeable to water. 'mm' refers to millimeters and is paired with a number to represent a standardized measurement of how waterproof a coating is. For instance, a 1500mm coating will withstand a 1500mm (5') column of water for more than one minute before a single drop might appear through the fabric.

That's strong enough to prevent rain from leaking into a tent in a hurricane-force storm. The 7-point design has a 'flat' and a 'pointed' end. For all configurations, the 'pointed end' should always be used as the highest supported point. The opposite 'flat edge,' which consists of three points, can be stretched tightly and attached to a shelter, car rack, or even the pole-supported vestibule of a tent to form a protected area. Try placing the poles at different points, using no poles at all or adding more poles to create new living spaces. (Paddles and sticks work well in the cord storage pockets, too.) Experiment and be creative!

Never pack or store your tent if it is wet, damp or dirty. Although we use the best polyurethane waterproofing available, prolonged exposure to moisture causes hydrolysis which, in turn, causes the waterproof layer to break down, becoming soft, sticky and no longer waterproof. Storing a wet tent for as little as 24 hours in warm weather is also likely to start the process of mildew forming on the fabric.

Mildew will cause your tent to stain, smell and will also lead to the premature breakdown of the waterproof coating. Mildew and moisture damage are not covered under the Limited Warranty.

For long-term storage, keep your tent in a dry and cool area, out of direct sunlight. Store it outside of its stuff sack, as you would a sleeping bag, in a breathable, over-sized cotton or mesh duffel for protection.

On the cheap, an old pillowcase is ideal. At MSR, we voluntarily follow ASTM International F 1934-98 standards around these two tent industry terms. In accordance with this standard, packaged weight includes the total weight of the packaged contents off the shelf. Minimum weight, by comparison, refers to the combined weight of the tent body, rainfly (if applicable) and tent poles, but not any of the other items that may appear in the package, such as tent stakes, guy cords, stuff sack, etc. Many MSR backpacking tents can be pitched using only the rainfly, poles and footprint, and in our tent specs we call this non-industry standard setup option our Fast & Light weight.

One of the easiest ways to damage your tent is by not drying it as quickly as possible after it gets wet. Storing a wet tent for as little as 24 hours in warm weather is likely to start the process of mildew formation.

Mildew can permanently damage the waterproof coatings by causing them to separate from the fabric, but mild to severe staining is more common. Mildew stains are permanent. They cannot be removed without potential harm to the fabric coatings and are not covered by warranty. Even when your tent appears to be dry after use, it is always best to assure it is completely dry before storing. Hang it outside or pile it loosely in your house for a few days, turning it inside and out to assure it has dried everywhere.

Never machine dry your tent as the heat can melt the fabric. Cleaning your tent is not necessary unless it has an offensive odor or becomes heavily soiled. If heavily soiled, the pressure from a regular garden hose will remove most loose dirt.

For more severe cleaning, set up your tent and hand wash it with warm water, a sponge and mild, non-detergent soap. Do not use dishwashing liquid, detergent, bleach, pre-soaking solutions, or spot removers. Dry your tent by pitching it or line-drying it. Never dry clean, machine- wash or machine-dry your tent.

Any of these methods can remove all the waterproof coatings from the tent. Condensation is the build-up of moisture inside your tent due to differences between the inside and outside temperatures. There are three main sources:. Weather Conditions: High humidity, low temperatures, and rainy conditions create the most condensation. People: We produce about 1 - 2 pints of moisture per night through breathing and skin evaporation. Wet Environment: Wet ground or wet gear stored inside the tent. While no tent design can eliminate condensation, the key to reducing it is ventilation.

Cooler, drier air has to flow into your tent and warm, moist air must escape. We have designed a variety of ways to do this. To start, the tent body and ceiling are made of breathable and mesh fabrics. This allows moisture to escape the interior of your tent. However, it must also be able to escape the waterproof fly, and every MSR rainfly has a peak vent that provides protection from the outside, while still allowing essential, free-flowing fresh air to move through your tent. You can also leave a door open in good weather, or take advantage of the double sliders on the doors to vent from the top where warm and moist air tends to accumulate. Make sure to leave at least two vents open if possible, allowing any breeze to provide cross-flow ventilation for maximum circulation.

Guying out your rainfly will also increase ventilation in hot or humid conditions. You can do minor repairs in the field using one of several alternatives. We offer waterproof, self-adhesive patches (sold separately) for all of the fabrics and mesh on your tent. Seam sealants are also a good alternative for small holes, or use duct tape for minor, temporary field repairs. If you use duct tape, be sure to remove it as soon as you are through with your trip. The adhesive will eventually eat away at the fabric and you will end up needing a larger patch. We recommend carrying at least one of these as a precaution.

Uncharted 1 game dow. If you have a large tear, our Product Service Center can also fix your tent after you return from your trip. Easy to setup, in 50mph winds we barely knew something is going on outside (okay, there was a bit of noise from the fly, but nothing serious), sheds snow nicely and fits two people and all the gear they can carry comfortably. Also, it is one of the lighter tents in its category. What I did not like: ventilation is a bit tricky, as there are no real vents on this tent.

We used the two-way zippers in vestibules to create draft, but it was a bit fiddly. Usually we needed to wedge an item (an iphone case works well) into the zipper to keep a reasonably large opening. In the end, we managed to keep the condensation to a bearable level and did not get our gear wet. What bugs me the most about this tent, is the fact that only 9 (!!!) pegs are included, which is just barely enough to pitch the tent - you will need a lot more if you expect some serious weather. The Groundhog pegs work surprisingly well in dead-man-anchor position, even in loose snow, which is why I don't complain you don't get proper winter stakes with an expedition tent, but the fact you only get 9 of those is just ridiculous.

I pitched the tent using 16 pegs and there were still around 10 possible pegging/guy-out points left unused. Which brings me to guy lines. Super strong, easy to operate, reflect light so you don't trip over them at night, but at least 6 are not included with the tent. My understanding is, you just get the bare minimum of stakes and guy lines needed to reasonably anchor the tent so that the listed packaged weight is as low as possible, and this is something that just makes me feel like I am being screwed over. It would feel more fair, if the 'less necessary' guy lines and stakes were included in the package, left for the user to decide if they want to take them or not. IMHO the lowest possible packaged weight is doing no good, if every review says there are not enough stakes and guy lines included.

Still, a great tent - but be aware of the missing guy lines and pegs.
