The Tindheim is MSR’s first ever tunnel tent. It can be pitched outer first or all-in-one – another first for the brand. This is ideal for wet weather, as you can get out of the elements fast while keeping your inner tent dry. It’s a big beast for a two-person tent but is quick and easy to pitch. Robust hooped poles, sturdy guy lines and multiple pegging points ensure good stability.
The cavernous internal dimensions ensure superb liveability. There’s also a big porch with side entry, which is spacious enough to sit upright. An extended optional footprint is included with the tent too, so you can even keep the porch area dry. Large, covered vents at both ends ensure good airflow to minimise condensation. The mesh inner sections also have secondary fabric panels, so you can zip them up to keep out draughts and boost warmth in colder conditions. This adds versatility for use across the seasons. All in all, we think this is an excellent addition to the MSR range and well suited to UK camping from early spring through to late autumn, thanks to its stable and weatherproof design, huge interior space and practical features. It gets a big Gear of the Year 2024 thumbs up from us.
