Go the Distance: The MSR Thru-Hiker Shelter System
One has to be prepared for anything on the PCT: marshy meadows and mosquitos in the Sierra Nevadas, bear encounters in Yosemite, thunderstorms in the Cascade Range, and, apparently, marriage proposals near Mount Adams. At least that’s what Erin Parsons and Mike Porzio experienced during their PCT adventure in 2014. For Erin and Mike, it was a life-changing trip across approximately 1,000 miles in 100 days. For the MSR Shelter team, which was at the time reassessing the lightweight shelter market, it was a chance to learn from Erin and Mike’s experiences to design a shelter that was missing from the industry. “We listened closely to Erin and Mike, and we feel we’ve developed the perfect shelter for thru-hikers and long-distance backpackers,” said Terry Breaux, MSR Shelter Product Manager.

Alpine Strongholds: The Remote Mountaineering Tent
“A mountaineering tent is your first line of defense against some of most severe and inhospitable conditions on the earth,” says Eric Larsen. As a record-setting polar explorer, mountaineer and guide, he knows. “I’ve literally spent years of my life living in a tent on one adventure or another. A well-designed tent is integral to your safety, and even survival.” When MSR set out to redefine what a mountaineering tent could be, we worked closely with Eric. The result? Our Remote Mountaineering Series—expedition-grade, guide-worthy tents that deliver the benefits that big-mountain climbers need, with less weight and modern engineering. “From 8,000 meter peaks to Mt. Rainier and everything in between, if you’re only going to have one mountaineering tent in your quiver this is your choice,” Eric says. Mountaineering Tents…
The Access™ Winter Backcountry Tents
When it comes to winter backcountry camping, MSR’s Access Tents are carving fresh tracks. Lighter than a classic mountaineering tent, but warmer than a backpacking tent, they’re the first to strike a balance between high-quality winter protection and true lightweight performance in livable designs. For backcountry skiers, splitboarders and snowshoers looking to spend comfortable nights in the winter mountains, Access Tents are your golden ticket. Recognizing a unique need “Not everyone who camps in the winter backcountry is a mountaineer,” says Terry Breaux, MSR tent designer. But until now, four-season tent options have been limited to heavy expedition-grade mountaineering tents or cramped bivy-style alpinist designs. This left winter recreationalists, such as skiers, splitboarders and snowshoers, forced to compromise in their shelter selection. “We were seeing skiers using classic mountaineering tents,…
