Product Reviews Weighing only 3lb 6oz, the Fling is the lightest free-standing 2-person 3-season tent that MSR makes. The Fling comfortably sleeps two campers with room for gear. An awning over the door provides a place to cook out of the rain. This MSR tent is made with waterproof seam-taped silicone-impregnated nylon and has large side vents to keep the air flowing. If having a free-standing tent is less important than weight, leave the top pole at home. The Fling tent can be pitched without it.

Avoid this Tent Except for Desert Camping
I purchased the Fling tent this spring, and used it for the first time during a 6-day backpacking trip in Colorado’s Indian Peaks Wilderness in August. It s light and very roomy, but condensation was a major problem. The inner walls of the tent were soaked 5 out of 6 mornings. We set up the tent in the prescribed manner, and also tried variations, to increase ventilation, but nothing helped. Our camps were between 10,400 and 11,000 ft with no precipitation, but we slept damp every night due to condensation. I cannot recommend this tent except for camping in arid areas.
