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.
