Thread: Light Weight Tents

Just got the Msr access 2 recently. After about 5 years of owning the nemo kunai 2P. Nemo was an excellent tent and really tough! Changed up as ruined the nemo in the end after poor campsite placement caused it to get destroyed by wind, that’s more my fault than the tent. They cost about $1100 so a good option . The reasons however I didn’t buy one again as I wanted the 2 vestibules for the MSR. Which having used recently was a game changer compared to the one vestibule nemo. It just makes the getting in and out of tent in shitty weather easier as you don’t have to wait for each other and don’t have to share the room in the vestibule. Just put under your side what you like to have handy. Secondly there is a bit more head height in the MSR so can sit up fully. The nemo is a little bit shorter inside and doesn’t have as large of a floor space so can get a bit tight if you spending 1+ days stuck inside it.

I haven’t fully tested the MSR and really bad weather, just a wee bit of snow/rain/hail type stuff but not strong winds. However I am happy with the guy rope set up as it feels very secure.

Main difference however for the extra benefits is that the MSR is $1600
