MSR Access 2-Person Lightweight 4-Season Tent
The MSR Access 2 is a true 4-season tent built for skiers, splitboarders, and snowshoers. It weighs about 5 lbs 6 oz — light enough to split between two packs — with a floor plan that fits two sleepers plus gear. MSR designed it around winter travel: the fly vents reduce condensation, the limited-mesh inner body traps body heat better than mesh-heavy backpacking tents, and the poles are rated for real snow load. It replaces two tents (a summer backpacking tent and a winter shelter) for people who tour in shoulder seasons.

Winter touring tents are either too heavy to split between two packs or too flimsy to trust in real snow load — the Access 2 threads that needle with a true 4-season build that still splits under 6 lbs.
