Why We Like The Front Range Ultralight Tarp Shelter
The MSR Front Range Ultralight Tarp Shelter is perfect for adventurers looking to maximize their gear storage. This compact shelter allows you to pack more essentials for your alpine climbs and ski traverses. With its frameless and floorless design, it's incredibly easy to set up using the included stakes and your ski or trekking pole.
Not only can this versatile tarp be used as a sleeping shelter, but it also provides excellent sun protection and can even serve as a comfortable dining area for group gatherings. For added coverage in buggy or muddy environments, we recommend combining the Front Range with MSR's Front Range Bug/Floor Insert (sold separately).
