MSR Front Range 4-Person Ultralight Tarp Shelter

So compact and light, it’s hardly noticeable in your pack, the Front Range tarp shelter lets parties of four move faster on giant alpine missions and ski traverses, with all-season protection from the elements.

Supremely versatile—it makes a featherweight dining hall, too—this ultra-simple shelter is boosted with MSR's Xtreme Shield™ coating for long-term durability. It pitches with ski/trekking poles (or an aftermarket 5-foot accessory pole), easy peasy. Getting in and out is a breeze, as well, with a zippered door that rolls back completely on both sides for sweeping views wherever you happen to unlace your boots.

Whether you’re taking advantage of spring’s longer days or building a winter basecamp, the ultralight Front Range makes these sufferfests a little more Type 1 fun.
