MSR Access 3 Tent

Many 4-season tents are overkill for mild winter conditions, and in those cases a decently strong (but slightly less bombproof) tent will do. Enter the “treeline” category, and our top pick MSR Access 3. The double-wall Access provides more protection than a 3-season model (with less mesh and a sturdier pole structure), but its 5-pound 1-ounce build (4 lb. 1 oz. for the 2P model) is significantly lighter than most comparable options here.
