The ultimate 2-person shelter for long-distance backpacking trips

 

Overview

Ultralight weight is critical for thru-hikers and long-distance backpackers, and at .41 kg, the MSR Thru-Hiker Mesh House 2 Trekking Pole Shelter meets that requirement and others: excellent ventilation, good protection, and enough liveable space for two to be comfortable for weeks or months on the trail.

It’s also an extremely packable and adaptable shelter.

Use the Mesh House on its own for bug-free protection—a necessity on the West Coast, or pair it with the Thru-Hiker 70 or 100 Wing (sold separately) for added wind and rain coverage.

Whatever the trail—AT, PCT, CDT or TBD—this shelter system lets you configure the right combination of weight and protection that’s right for your trip, and any section along the way.
