MSR Missing Link Tent 2-Person 3-Season

"Leaks The tent is advertised as having a taped floor- mine does not and leaks at the seams- particularly the front. The seams that make up the "tub" are at ground level and because they are not taped are prone to leaking. The rest of the tent holds up well to the rain."

" Awesome tent! After using the tent for the first time I am sold! I spent 2 cold, rainy nights in Rocky Mtn National Park and stayed very dry throughout the night. There was a tiny bit of condensation in the morning, but found that it was the same as my double wall tents I've used in the past. The wind was crazy but having made sure it was staked out as best as possible with the super strong needle stakes, it was solid as a rock. Because of all the cubic feet I was able to drag everything inside the pack (except my food which was hanging in a tree). The best tent I have ever bought and the easiest to put up. Get it, you won't regret it!"

" Pros and Cons My tent leaked from the first day I used it, as some of the seams in the back of the tent are neither sealed or taped. I chose to seam seal my tent instead of returning it for fear that the new one might leak even more. On the positive side, the tent is very lightweight and roomy for a 2-person tent. Set up is straight forward, but the room inside the tent and cross ventilation benefit greatly from fully guying out the tent."

" Lightweight Yet Spacious I've had this tent for several seasons now and have used it in a variety of conditions, from high desert to high alpine, from perfect weather to mountain storms. For the most part, this tent is great. The front awning is one of my favorite features; you can get out of the rain yet still have a decent view. Inside, it is very roomy for its weight and offers better protection than a floorless tarp, but I will say that the layout is not ideal for two people since there's only one door, so when nature calls somebody's gotta crawl over their partner. The corners, on the other hand, are useful for stashing gear. Setup is very simple; it's ready to go in three or four minutes if you're not fussy about catalog-perfect tautness. This tent has proved quite stable in some pretty strong winds, but you do have to guy it out to get maximum stability. Now, the cons: Ventilation is pretty good, but you WILL have condensation under the right conditions (no leaking, though). Most of my camping is done out West, where it's dry, but I did notice during bad weather at high altitude (cold and wet) that I had to keep a sponge or a towel handy. Placement relative to wind is imperative, as is making sure the rear vent is nice and open. I don't think I'd want this tent for muggy, wet places. Also, I can never get the door to pitch completely taut, which means I have to grab the tent wall to zip/unzip it. Overall, though, it's a nice "in-between" tent for those that aren't quite ready to go floorless yet want to shed some weight. I recommend it for most applications. "

" OK tent Finally used this tent for the first time. It did ok, but conditions were very fair, with no rain and not much wind. Not sure how it will hold up in more severe conditions."
