Product Highlights

New for 2009! Always innovative, MSR unveils its lightest double-wall, two-person backpacking tent, the Carbon Reflex 2. With carbon fiber poles, lightweight fabrics and a unique pole configuration, the Carbon Reflex 2’s trail weight is a mere 2 lb 13 oz!

The Carbon Reflex 2 provides 29 square feet of interior space and a full 40 inches of interior height. Carbon fiber poles offer ultra-lightweight performance. Dependable MSR Ultralight Needle Stakes are included to aid in securely pitching the non-freestanding Carbon Reflex 2. A sizeable front vestibule offers protected storage space and dry-entry to the tent body. A zipper on the interior of the tent body allows you to access a smaller rear vestibule.

Extensive mesh construction keeps weight to a minimum while maximizing ventilation. The Carbon Reflex 2 is extremely breathable which increases livability and combats the build-up of condensation on the interior of the tent. In warm, clear weather, you can tie-back the front door to allow even greater airflow.

The Carbon Reflex 2 employs taped seams on the floor and rainfly to prevent leaks. The stress points are reinforced to prevent tear-outs, and the guy lines (included) are reflective to help you find your way back to your tent in the dark.

For ounce-counting backpackers who prefer to travel as light as possible, the Carbon Reflex 2 rainfly can be used alone or in tandem with an optional footprint (sold separately), making the Carbon Reflex 2 a two-pound minimalist shelter.

MSR part number: 12488

Key Features

  • Comparable to the volume of the MSR Hubba Hubba tent, but nearly a pound lighter in packed weight due to carbon fiber poles and overall ultra-lightweight construction
  • Efficient, two-pole design makes setting up the non-freestanding tent quick and easy
  • Unique geometry provides maximum interior space, a roomy front vestibule and zippered rear window access to rear vestibule
  • Can be set up as a double-wall tent or as a compact flyweight shelter by using just the rainfly and footprint (sold separately)

Likes: The tent is super light, yet still is super durable. Its double wall design works great in the rain with little to no condensation. Easy and simple to setup too.

Dislikes: Somewhat small. My boyfriend and I have to sleep on opposite ends in order for the tent to work out for us. If we sleep shoulder to shoulder we feel to scrunched up and cannot sleep, at least not for very long.

Likes: I loved the lightest how light the tent proved to be.

Dislikes: I could not stand the sleeping dimensions, this tent will without a doubt not work for two people, at least it will not work out if you plan on sleeping comfortablely. MSR was inaccurated when it came to giving the proper dimensions of the tent's width. It was more like 42 inches wide rather than 50 inches wide.
