    MSR carbon reflex

    Hi all,
    Wondering if anyone has this tent and any comments they have about it. Looks very light. Also is fitting 3 people in it possible or is it too much of a push.
    cheers

    I have the two-man (snug) version and rate it very highly but I am very careful as to where I pitch it. It's survived heavy rain extremely well, but I haven't had it out in severe gales.

    Hahaha. Yeah you’d want to be real friendly sleeping two in the two man. I have one and it’s “cuddly”.
    The one man is more roomy. I have both.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    I have spent a night or two in a Muther hubber tent ("3person tent") and it is an ideal 2 person tent with two vestibules for each person to keep there pack and gear out of the weather on their side and not have to climb over each other to get out. 3 would be possible but far from comfortable.
    Be a good tent for all but open country in high winds.

    Yep, Dad has that one spent quite a few nights in it with three, might have to consider it. Was looking at the other one because it’s considerably lighter but the mutha hubbba is pretty light nonetheless
