My wife and I spend at least a week in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Minnesota every year. This year was our 4th trip and our 4th different tent. Never could find the right combination of light weight, ventilation, roominess, etc. This one was PERFECT. It was cold and wet virtually every day. No water and no condensation. Let me say that again... No water and NO CONDENSATION BUILD UP! And when it was wet from the rain, it dried in minutes so you didn't have to stow it wet. Plenty of room for two campers and we had four people in there for cards a couple of times. Cramped with 4, but enough to play Uno. Lightweight and easy to set up and take down. Looks like next year I wont have to chunk out more cash for a new tent!

We retired a Jansport 3-man dome purchased in 1978 with this tent. The differences are incredible without taking one thing away from the excellent Jansport. Setup of the MuthaHubba is intuitive and quick. The color-coded clips and clear instructions made the first setup last less than 10 minutes. I set it up myself to clean it in less time. Having camped in severe thunderstorms in Texas, I find the dual canopies to be very useful and engineered well to deflect wind. The opposing angle silver poles give excellent stability and make the tent seem exceptionally roomy. It is a "backpackers" three man tent, not a car campers three man. But with the vestibules actively in use, my wife, my son, and I had plenty of room. As close as perfect as this tent comes, I do have two criticisms that I think would be easy to make to improve the tent even more. The corner "wallet" storage areas should be duplicated at both ends of the inside storage pockets. And the vestibules should both have double zippers. I rigged a 2 foot long line to the vestibule zippers to make them reachable without leaning on the ground. The small supported vents engineered into the fly and accessible from inside more than make up for these small complaints.

A group of about 12 people and myself did an 11 day trip in the Olympic peninsula (northwest corner of WA). On our trip we used these tents, and tested them for MSR along with some of their other gear. We started with 4 days on the beach (Pacific Ocean). The first three days were dry (with moist nights) and on the last night a heavy fog came in, fallowed by rains. The first thing I must say is that these tents are big. Three people fit very comfortably in them and we were able to fit 4 people in them with out having to sleep on top of each other, but it was snug. This tent is very waterproof. None of us or our gear (which we put under the vestibules) got wet. The tent is very durable when up as well. If all the stakes are in, it barley even shakes in high wind. However, it will shake if the side support strings are not staked in. This doesn't mean it will break or collapse though. Through out the entire trip I carried the tent along with one bear canister of food and my personal gear. I found out it really is light. I never felt like it was heavy at all even on a 3000ft vertical gain in under three miles. Once we got into the mountains we could take off the fly. We all found the mesh siding to be very nice for dry weather. It keeps the bugs away but is still like sleeping outside. On the way down, one tent group decided to sleep outside with out setting up there tent first. When it started to rain in the night they set it up in under three minutes. This tent is very solid, lightweight, and big. The only problem is the stakes—they are lightweight but also bend and break easily. All together I would say this tent is well worth your money and will last a long time.
