For this video we are going to make a comparison of two similar but at the same time quite different tents - MSR Elixir 2 and Forclaz MT900 Tent. We have recently released a review on the Forclaz MT900 tent where we had a chance to test it a bit and our MSR Elixir 2 tent we’ve had for a couple of years now and been using it when doing all our long-distance hikes. We decided to compare these tents because we find them more or less comparable in terms of price and the self-standing structure type. And when we initially bought our MSR the Forclaz MT900 tent just came out and it was a revolutionary lightweight tent for Decathlon of self-standing type. And we were considering buying it back then choosing between several options in the category. And lately we have been searching for the lighter version of our MSR Elixir so it is just in time. So we thought it would be a good idea now that we have them both in our hands to make this side by side comparison and see how much they actually differ. We are going to share our own personal opinion and thoughts about all the aspects too. So keep on watching to find out all the details!

We are a couple who once fell in love with mountains and couldn't get back. So we decided to follow our heart and move from a big city to a small village to be able to do what we love and to create this content. Our goal is to promote the healthy lifestyle, to motivate people to travel more and care for nature around. We are passionate walkers who love hiking, trekking and camping. We offer the detailed information of our hikes and routes, including the map and all the directions, so that you can repeat it if you'd like to.
We choose walking over driving and other types of transportation whenever we can because we learnt that this way we see so much more and can explore and feel the place better. Walking is an excellent activity that has so many benefits to your health and requires no special equipment or practice, so we encourage you to get the most out of it and get out walking.
We speak English, Spanish, French and Russian, so don't hesitate to address to us in your native language.

Thank you for interesting comparison! We bought the MSR for 228€ two years ago and are very happy with space and quality. Weight of exact 2,6kg is good for two. We have been looking for the forclaz but worried about size and thin materials. So you confirmed our good choice, thank you😊

Habt ihr beim Gewichtsvergleich berücksichtigt, dass das Forclaz-Zelt beim Preis von 239€ (in Österreich!) kein Groundsheet mitliefert - das kostet extra und wiegt 270g. Komplettgewicht daher 2,265kg - Unterschied zu unserem MSR nur mehr 335g!.. daher war unser MSR war MIT Groundsheet billiger, robuster und geräumiger als das Forclaz OHNE!.. das wird viele Leser interessieren.

@WalkingNatureWorld
@WalkingNatureWorld Год назад
@@baturova That is true that the Forclaz MT900 tent doesn't come with groundsheet. And if you buy it separately the additional weight would be 270gr, making a total weight of the Forclaz tent 2.265kg. Then it is less of a difference with MSR. It is a very important notice as we don't tend to use any tent without groundsheet.

I'm impressed by the roominess of the MSR tent. I have Robens Boulder 2 and I have always found it spacious. But the MSR is on a whole different level main difference being that how the inner tent is designed and how it utilize the middle rod to increase the volume of the inner tent. For my tent it only makes the vestibule larger...
@WalkingNatureWorld
@WalkingNatureWorld Год назад
Hi, Pixel Shade! great to see you back! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It is one of our favourite features in this tent - the design of the inner tent and its shape. Spacious is the main word for it we think:) Robens Boulder does look quite similar to Forclaz looking at the pictures, not sure how it is in real life.

@@WalkingNatureWorld Hello, new subscriber. I think the Forclaz looks a bit strange when set up with the inner part of the tent showing behind the fly; I think this could cause problems. It does not come with a footprint and that would add more weight. The MSR Elixir is better I think with the way it sets up. There is a lighter version of the Elixir as well. I have an MSR Hubba hubba nx which is lighter than the Elixir and managed to withstand 80km wind. Weight is a problem especially if you are hiking in mountains but if you can't sleep then you will struggle. I like some of decathlon's stuff; I have a down jacket, some climbing gloves and other gear but in the last year in Britain you can only pay by card in decathlon; no cash. For that reason I will not shop in a place that dictates how I pay.

В Израиле палатка Forclaz MT900 2P стоит €297,60. В тоже время MSR Elixir 2 продаётся по схожей цене €301,48. А что бы взяли вы в такой ситуации? При всей моей любви к Decathlon, ценовая политика израильского отделения мягко говоря странная.

@WalkingNatureWorld
@WalkingNatureWorld Год назад
Да, мы бы выбрали MSR в таком случае потому что для нас она более просторная. И Forclaz нам была интересна прежде всего своим легким весом в сравнении. Но если для вас вес не является приоритетным в выборе, то MSR лучше. Наша любовь к MSR пока еще все так же сильна:)
@tomerzharikov3425
@tomerzharikov3425 Год назад
Это разные палатки. Поэтому, тоже, как житель Израиля, я бы сказал так. Как первую, я бы выбрал Decathlon, но если речь идёт о походах в холодных странах ( или даже, или тем более, перелет, аренда машины и кемпинги в Европе) то Elexir будет отличным выбором. Имею в наличии обе эти палатки. И обе ходили со мной, как в стране, так и в Европе. И то и другое, имхо, достойный выбор. Как и то, что обе необходимо немного доводить "до ума". Непосредственно "с полки" у каждой есть свои нюансы.
