MSR Front Range Ultralight Tarp Shelter

Product detailed description

The entire shelter is made of 20D Xtreme Shield silicone-coated ripstop nylon, which also offers exceptional durability. The structure is based on a pyramid shape with a square base measuring 2.74 x 2.74 m. The tarp has a single entrance that can be comfortably unzipped along its entire length. The tarp can easily accommodate up to 4 people. Thanks to its 1.62 m height, you can move around under the shelter without any trouble.

The tarp has fairly steep walls, so the tent’s surfaces don’t retain water or snow, and everything runs right off. Setting it up is quick and easy. Simply stake down the 4 corners and use two connected trekking or ski poles to raise the entire shelter. The package also includes straps to secure the poles, a set of 6 aluminum stakes, additional guy lines, and even seam sealer!

Weighing just 740 grams (excluding pegs, additional guy lines, and straps), this is a versatile shelter that offers a wide range of uses. Whether you’re setting up camp at base camp during your ascent of a serious mountain, embarking on a long ski-touring trek, or simply heading out with the family for a weekend trip. With such a low weight and incredible space, it will also find its place among solo adventurers who need plenty of room.

You can also purchase an inner tent with a mosquito net and groundsheet or just a separate footprint (groundsheet). If you are concerned about condensation, we recommend reading our article dedicated to condensation.

Warning! The tarp is made of siliconized nylon and does not have taped seams! Before using it in the field, you must first seal all seams from the outside. The package includes the adhesive you will need for this. You can see how to seal tarp seams in our video.
