Description
FreeLite favors low carried weight and a mesh inner for three-season trips. Its semi-freestanding design still requires proper staking; capacity options have different floors and door layouts.

Shelter use
This is not a hot-tent or stove-jack system. Never operate a combustion stove inside a tent, vestibule or other enclosed space. Follow the shelter instructions for anchoring, ventilation and weather limitations.
Questions
Does semi-freestanding mean I can skip the stakes?
No. The tent needs its intended anchors and guylines for floor shape and weather security. Use the setup instructions for your model rather than treating it as fully freestanding.
Is FreeLite's gram weight the minimum trail weight?
No. The gram figures here are packaged weights (0.89 kg / 1.06 kg / 1.23 kg for FreeLite 1/2/3). MSR also lists lower minimum weights for body, rainfly and poles alone. Packaged weight includes stakes, bags and other packaged contents.
