Updated for '08, the MSR Fury 2 HP employs innovative fabric which shaves its weight by nearly half a pound!
Even the fiercest weather won't stop you from seeing the summit when you spend your down time safely in the Fury tent from MSR. Comfortably sleep 2 in this sleek, rugged expedition series tent that uses 3-pole construction and MSR's patented compression tension design for strength and durability.
One of the lightest, most bombproof mountaineering tents on the market just got even lighter. The 2-person Fury offers great internal space, unmatched strength, and a large hooped vestibule that provides increased storage and usability. It also features excellent high/low venting for superior airflow and internal pockets to help keep gear organized.
The Fury 2-person mountaineering tent offers unmatched double-wall strength and reliability in extreme weather. Its small footprint allows it to be pitched with minimal platform prep on steep slopes and ridges and it weighs just 6 lbs. 4 oz. (2.84 kg). A roomy, hooped front vestibule maximizes critical interior space and a large rear window keeps weight down without compromising the excellent cross-ventilation that’s mandatory in a tent of this size.

Great 4 Season | |

| I've used this tent for fives days in very different environments. The first two days the Fury performed flawlessly in gusty mountain winds and moderate sleet/snowfall of the Cucamonga Wilderness, CA; all without guy outs. The next three days were spent in the warm wind-swept Joshua Tree desert. All throughout, my GF and I were very comfortable and confident in the sturdiness of our new tent. Set up is relatively easy with two people but one must have a bit of muscle to set the pole tips into the grommets. We stayed warm and dry in this tent and hardly noticed the wind and sleet that warped other tents in our group. I've done a ton of comparison shopping for a 2 person 4 season tent and for overall weight, interior floorspace, and peak height, this tent is a winner when compared to other popular tents in this class. Ventilation in the tent was great. Through the storm there was very little condensation that had collected on the inside of the tent on the sills; but that can't be avoided in any tent. The windows open up wide and the fly is super easy to attach and remove with the buckle type connectors. | |

Luxury Comfort In Cold Weather | |
| Rating: | |
| I bought this tent for a winter camping trip to Taos New Mexico. Recently took it into the Ventana Wilderness Big Sur. Pros: The MSR Fury an original MOSS design, sold to REI, then Mountain Safety Research, stands steadfast against high winds, torrential rain, and snow. It has excellent ventilation keeping condensation down to nearly non existent and is completely water/snow proof. Excellent at retaining heat inside of tent. The new fast pack stuff bag is just that, in minutes your on your way. For a solo backpacker willing to carry the extra weight this is the ultimate in luxury cold weather comfort. Cons: A bit heavy for solo backpacking. Footprint does not attach to tent poles via grommets and must be staked out separately due to the new pole/sleeve design. Difficult to insert poles into sleeves and grommets when wearing gloves or your fingers are cold. You have to buy the rain fly guideline kit separately. The Fury is too warm for summer use. | |

| My daughter and I used the MSR Fury early July on Rainier. The first night we set up the tent broadside to the wind on Ingraham Flat... our mistake. The Fury took the hammering of a furious wet, windy, snowy, thundering night. The next morning we quickly turned the tent around, into the wind, worked great for the next three nights, nice and quiet. Just make sure the fly is drum tight, easy to do. Great elbow room, good size vestibule. The ventilation was good, just keep the door and back window cracked open. Set up was easy in the wind, precip and dark. Practice set up at home. We changed the order of pole set up from what MCR recommends. We gave it a five because it is a great tent! Bonus, we did summit on July 4th! | |

"Mountaineering Design Perfection. A Life Saver." | |

| I have the original Stardome 2 from Moss, and I can attest, this tent is built to withstand total ferocity. I spent 3 days on in this thing on Rainier being pummeled by a massive late spring storm that buried Muir in 4 feet of snow and days of minimal visibility. This tent shook everything off with incredible stability. Several other mountaineering tents were totally mashed by the snowload and wind. Despite having to get up every 2 hours to shovel the snow away from the fly, the space is amazingly liveable for 2 normal-sized climbers, seriously, I was in the thing for 50 hours straight. The very few design flaws of the Moss original the noisy-ass zipper pulls, the bottom attachment of the do | |

| I've used the earlier version of this tent for several winter camping trips oiver the last 4 years, with conditions being 4000' elevation, 2-12' of snow, and temperatures down to 13 below zero. Like all 4 season tents, it's on the heavy side and is tougher to set up than a lightweight 3 season tent. Once it's set up, it's very tight and reliable. I looked at some other tents like the North Face Mountain 25 and liked this one a little more (the 25 seemed to require too many guy lines). The main thing I don't like is that it's very tight to get the poles into the grommets (especially while wearing gloves), but that's what it takes to make it windproof. | |

"Highly recommended. Reasonable price and great performance." | |
| Rating: | |
| I did a lot of research when looking for a winter tent. I hike solo with my dog so there is no weight sharing for me- I carry it all. So I wanted something reasonably light that would hold me and a 75 pound dog and stand up to White Mountain winters. This tent worked great. Setup is easy- even with cold hands and it seems like it would hold up in most any conditions. I also love that it wasn't delivered in a tiny stuff sack that requires nimble hands to pack. In the winter, I want to pack up quickly and get moving. The only negative is the vestibule is not as large as a lot of other 2 person tents. | |

Bomber Tent | |
| Rating: | |
| This tent performed great for me and my wife when climbing in the Cascades. Took a pretty good pounding through a thunder/snow storm without a sweat. Pretty easy to set up, roomy for the two of us, and has some nice ventilation features. I don't know that this one can be beat for the weight/performance ratio. Nice big vestibule, we were able to fit both of our packs and the rest of our gear in it no problem. I give it a 4 based on the amount of condensation we experienced, but that expected in the kind of weather we were in, wet/heavy snow in the early months of spring. | |

"Fury = 4 season love" | |

| Love, Love, LOVE this tent! Very roomy for a 2-person, yet still extremely light for backpacking. Setup is possible with 1 person, but 2 is ideal. That's about the only thing I can find wrong with the Fury. Great tent, worth the price for sure. | |

"Difficult to set up and Terrible in the rain" | |
| Rating: |  |
| There are some features of this tent that I consider to be design flaws. There is only one way to feed the poles into the tent. If you do it backwards, in the dark or in a hurry, you are starting your set up over. The poles also require a lot of strength to bend into the grommets. It took two people to do this most of the time. The first time we used it in the rain it leaked. The fly barely covers the tent -if it is set up on anything rougher than a golf green, the fly lays against the tent and feeds in condensation. It does work if it is guyed out and under another tarp. We have used this tent and can't return it, if you are planning on heavy field time, don't make the same mistake. | |
