The MSR Gear Shed V2 is a lightweight canopy attachment for the Elixir and Hubba NX tents, designed to extend your living space and keep gear sheltered just outside your tent door.
Constructed from 68D ripstop polyester with a 1500 mm PU coating and DWR, it resists tears and light moisture, while the 70D taffeta nylon groundsheet with a 3000 mm PU coating offers a tougher barrier against damp ground. With a 2.46 m² footprint (170 x 203 x 89 cm), there’s space to stow boots, packs or a small chair, and the single 7000-series aluminium pole holds it up at just 0.82 kg, so it adds minimal weight to your pack.
The waterproof ratings indicate how much water pressure the fabric can handle before leaking—a 1500 mm rating means the canopy stands up to drizzles and light rain, and the 3000 mm groundsheet can tolerate heavier dampness. The 7000-series aluminium pole is an alloy prized for its strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion, keeping the structure stable in variable weather.
