MSR Missing Link Tent 2-Person 3-Season

MSR Missing Link Tent 2-Person 3-Season description

The MSR Missing Link tent is an innovative single-wall 2-person shelter that bridges the gap between tarp-style shelters and traditional tents. With plenty of space for two people plus gear, the Missing Link tent offers an ultralight combination of space and weather protection.

Bottom Line: Is it a tent or a shelter? You decide, but when hiking, your body will thank you regardless.

I don't care what people say. It takes up no space in a pack and weighs nothing. Sure it has a lil condensation in the morning, but what tent doesn't? I've used mine plenty of times in the White Mountains of NH and have never been let down. It's definitely not a cold weather tent and isn't advertised as one, so forget it when the mercury drops into the 40s. Thats just common sense. In the end, you'll appreciate all of the extra room and saved weight in your pack. Guaranteed.

This seemed like a good idea with some pretty impressive features: very light but extremely roomy, side entry, using trekking poles for support and a front awning large enough to cook under in a rain! Unfortunately wind is a big factor. If you know were it is coming from it is tolerable, but the wind has a tendency to shift around. I made the mistake of orienting it such that the vertical front side ended up facing into a gale. It filled up like a spinnaker sail on an America's Cup yacht, pulling out most of the stakes and flinging my trekking poles yards away. I can't tell you how much fun it is to be sitting inside a flapping orange bag at 2 a.m. in a thunderstorm! I donated it to charity immediatley on my return.

My tent leaked from the first day I used it, as some of the seams in the back of the tent are neither sealed or taped. I chose to seam seal my tent instead of returning it for fear that the new one might leak even more. On the positive side, the tent is very lightweight and roomy for a 2-person tent. Set up is straight forward, but the room inside the tent and cross ventilation benefit greatly from fully guying out the tent.

The tent is advertised as having a taped floor- mine does not and leaks at the seams- particularly the front. The seams that make up the "tub" are at ground level and because they are not taped are prone to leaking. The rest of the tent holds up well to the rain.
