MSR Carbon Reflex 2
The Carbon Reflex 2 is the lightest, double-wall 2-person tent MSR has ever made, crossing the barrier from ultralight to hyperlight. Utilizing the latest fabrics and cutting edge carbon fiber poles, nearly a pound has been shaved from the legendary Hubba Hubba making this the new standard in ultralight performance. The best thing about the Carbon series tents however is what they didn’t take out—livability. Packing 7 ft. (2.2 m) of length, plenty of room to sit up in and a roomy vestibule, MSR continues to prove their philosophy that traveling ultralight should increase your comfort—not compromise it. 
- Hyperlight: Comparable to the Hubba Hubba™ in volume, the carbon fiber poles and efficient design make the Carbon Reflex 2 nearly a pound lighter.
- Fast Setup: Efficient two-pole design is strong and simple to use.
- Livable: Unique geometry provides maximum interior space, front vestibule and zippered rear window access to rear vestibule.
- Versatile: Can be set up as a double-wall tent or with just the fly and footprint for a compact, flyweight shelter at just .90kg (2 lbs.).
