MSR Carbon Reflex 1
The Carbon Reflex 1 tent is the lightest, double-wall solo tent we’ve ever made, crossing the barrier from ultralight to hyperlight. Utilizing the latest fabrics and cutting edge carbon fiber poles, we’ve engineered a tent that’s ideal for any ultralight, 3-season adventure you’re ready to take on—from bike touring through Central America to lightweight weekends. The best thing about the Carbon Reflex series tents, however, is what we didn’t take out—livability. Packing over 7 ft. (2.2 m) of length, plenty of room to sit up in and a roomy vestibule, we’re continuing to prove our philosophy that traveling ultralight should increase your comfort—not compromise it.
Our Verdict
We're big fans of the Hubba series of MSR tents that feature spacious vestibules, near vertical walls and good headroom - the Carbon Reflex 1 is the Hubba taken a stage lighter - getting very close to the lightest tents but still retaining that livability.
The 2011 version of this tent is identical to the previous one except for the Green Flysheet.
Features
- Hyperlight: Comparable to the Hubba tent in volume, the carbon fiber poles and efficient design make the Carbon Reflex 1 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 large D-shaped door provide effortless entry and exit.
- Versatile: Can be set up as a double-wall tent or with just the fly and footprint for a compact, flyweight shelter.
