Msr Gearshed V2 fits Elixir & Hubba Nx Tent Footprint

Great addition to the standard MSR tent. Great for wetter camping trips and makes a great home for our dog when he tags along!

Fantastic piece of kit. Great delivery service. Can't wait to use this in conjunction with my Elixir 3 on the island of La Graciosa 😊

It's green and beautiful. It gets 5 stars.

Entirely happy to recommend.

Excellent addition to our backcountry trips. If using as extra room for dog(s) at night, remember that there is no floor on 50-75% of ground space so you’ll have to take precautions they can’t slip under and out. Just takes some for-thought. Five stars.

Set up the first time was not intuitive and provided directions unclear. Watched a YouTube instructional clip and was very easy to assemble. The centerline of the shed’s guy line needs to be attached exactly in the center otherwise it does not stay taut. There is no play with placement due to terrain so choose your site carefully. Having used the gear shed several times will use it often as it really adds spaciousness. Good purchase.

Wir nutzen es auf div. langen Radtouren. So können alle Ortliebs (8 Stück!) trocken verstaut werden und es bleibt noch Platz zu sitzen. Wenn man sich beim Aufbauen etwas Mühe gibt und sauber abspannt, hält es auch einem längeren starken Regen stand. Div. Tests bestanden!Es passt problemlos zusammen mit unserem Hubba Hubba in eine Ortlieb Back-Roller und dabei bleibt noch Platz für eine Isomatte und mehr.Größere Personen über 180 cm können im MSR Eilixir Gearshed V2 nicht aufrecht sitzen ... Kopf einziehen, oder besser im Zelt sitzen.

I bought this for a 5 day trip to add to my MSR hubba hubba. Was caught in a wild storm and I feared my whole tent was going to crumple. My tent and the shed held up fantastically. Very impressed!

I've used this Gearshed on 2 on my hikes, and have already made up my mind after the first use that this is basically the worst MSR product made where little thought was given to its design. This is worse than the new Universal footprint version MSR has been selling lately.Although the information clearly says that the product was made for the Elixir and Hubba Hubba NX (2 person) tents, I can guarantee that no matter how well you orient the thing on a Hubba Hubba tent, the item will fit wonkily with a noticeable dip in the midsection, gaps on the lower ends where the gear shed connects with the tent, and and the triangular section will never correctly lay flat on the ground, such that the red base will always fold upwards, creating a noticeable tension on the shed itself when adding items onto the corner.The triangular section of the gear shed and the exposed ground also creates a new problem. Condensation. LOTS of condensation.Each morning, regardless of the humidity outside, how much we ventilate the tent during our sleep, it has always resulted in a massive puddle of water inside the gearshed, with condensation basically creating a constant flow of water inside the shed, and then piling above the impermeable flooring, soaking all the items and bags which were placed inside on the only 'previously' dry section of the gear shed.I've lost about 4-6 maps and several route cards on the first few days using this product. (They could have at least left a hole on the uppermost section to let the condensation run out directly onto the ground.The dip I mentioned early also means that condensation is also constantly dripping in the mid-section of the shed.On the second hike, this dip also resulted in more issues after a rainstorm. The water would pile up and capture water like a cheap pavillon.The lack of a footprint in the midsection, and the height of the gearshed itself meant you are always going to come out of the tent with wet muddy knees, and a soaked back from scraping the underside of the shed on your way out.The gear shed also only contains one exit (for whatever reason). This means, that when prepping your tent, you need to constantly remind yourself what orientation you wish your tent to be, as on my first few uses of the product, I realised very late in the setup that by attaching the gearshed to the tent, I would either have the gearshed pointed away from the morning sun (which meant waiting longer for things to dry), or have it pointed towards a bush of nettles (and collide against the neighbouring tent, we did not have much choice to be picky though).Seriously MSR, you couldn't spare the extra cost to add a second entrance on the gear shed for the price of this item? Or add an actual ventilation flap similar to the tents to reduce condensation? Or design a way for condensation to run toward the corner directly into the ground, instead of piling ontop of the footprint inside? Or add a footprint compatible for this product, so that humidity from the massively exposed ground doesn't pile up so quickly inside? Or design this product properly, such that the footprint actually is in full contact with the ground?Or has the corona period made the designers who thought up this terrible product incredibly lazy and forget to test the product before manufacturing this abomination?The fact that this is version 2 of the gear shed AND STILL contains this many issues, if not more than version 1, basically shows how little thought went into designing and manufacturing this product.If I had not decided to give this shed a second try on my second hike, I would have immediately asked for a refund, which by the end of my hike was too late to return. This is single-handedly the most disappointing product I have from MSR. Don't get me wrong, their tents and multifuel cookers are incredible to use, and I never regretted getting them. But this product has, in my case, mildly tarnished MSR's reputation of being a provider of higher quality outdoor equipments.This is probably the first time I found a product that was made with such poor quality, that I decided to write a review which portrays me as a rambling old man, despite only having turned 28 this year.And on a side note, aside of all the other complaints I have for the gear shed, the colour of the gear shed does not match the Hubba Hubba rainfly, with a noticeably lighter tone of green. So they could not even get the colour right in making this item.
