Pack the MSR Hubba Hubba Tent 2-Person 3-Season when you want loads of headroom without carrying a heavy load. This classic tent has an all-new pole-hub system that provides increased strength with no weight penalty. Two doors and two vestibules give you and a companion individual gear storage spaces and exits for midnight nature calls. Stay-dry entrances keep this tent clean even when with the vestibules open. Use MSR's fly and body for maximum protection against stormy weather, or match the fly with the footprint (footprint sold separately) for an ultralight solution.
Bottom Line: Say hello to your new two-person, three-season, sub-four-pound tent.
This tent is the tent other tents are designed after. It's light, water-tight and you'll fit just right. I have heard some say it's too short for the tall type, but at 6'2" I find it fine. The two doors/vestibules make for a quiet exit for a midnight pee and the cross ventilation cannot compare to single door tents. It is pricey but it will last you longer than you'll need it to and is absolutely worth it. The hub and pole system takes a little getting used to, but you can do it.
I've never had much problem with condensation. Since it is a full-mesh tent, the most likely place for condensation would be on the inside of the fly, and I haven't seen much of this (even in rainy weather).
I couldn't be happier with this tent! It's Light weight, packs up pretty good, the stakes are titanium! Breathablity is fantastic (obviously). The vestibules keep you and the floor dry in rainy conditions. On dry nights remove the fly and enjoy the stars! To save weight, take only the fly and footprint, that is if you don't mind some creepy crawly's.
Write your question here...I am considering this tent along with the Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2 2man, Marmot Aura 2 person, and the Mountain Hardware skyledge 2.1 2 person. I want a very stable tent in the wind will this one hold up or is one of the others better in the wind. What one of these tents has the most living space? Thanks, Eli
While the hubba hubba does do decently in the wind, the skyledge 2.1 is by far the sturdiest tent out of your selection. The cross poles at the top are joined by a power clip, something that makes the tent significantly sturdier than others. Notice on how the hubba hubba and the copper spur that there is only one pole in the middle that supports it from the ground. this leads to a softer tent top, which can be a concern in the wind. The marmot tent has steeper walls than the skyledge, which catch more wind. Also, the skyledge is pretty darn roomy, it's not called a 2.1 for nothing.
Great tent. Light weight, durable, and keeps you dry. I cant say enough good things about this tent. Love to use it without the rain fly so we can star gaze. If rain rolls in it only takes a second to throw on the fly. Two doors and two vestibules is great (don't have to climb over someone in the middle of the night when nature calls). Also each person to keep their gear dry and access it easily. Im 6'3" and have plenty of room. Also I love the way the walls go straight up, much more usable space. Also love the option of setting up with just the footprint and rain fly when your not worried about creepie crawlies. Just buy it!
You're in luck! MSR has an unlimited lifetime warranty on the poles! Simply go to www.msrgear.com and go to the bottom of the page where there's a link to 'Warranty & Repair'. Click on this and follow the instructions. They will probably have you send in the whole pole set and and then replace the one that's broken. You should expect a 2-4 week turn-around time.
BEST TENT EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I used this tent in lost maples, texas, and it packs light, and it seems small, but when you put it up, the thing is huge! it has breathable nylon which is good, and the poles are in a six in one hubba design, cool
MSR did it right with the Hubba Hubba. All mesh makes this guy feel open on the nice nights, and the fly keeps you +1 (and your gear in the vestibules) dry when it's raining. I like this better than the HP, which traded the mesh for lighter fabric. Normally I'm always looking to shed weight, but that's just not worth it to me.
I think what you will find with the Hubba Hubba is that it has more livable space inside. This has been achieved by designing into it vertical walls. It's incredibly easy to set up and the two large 7 sq.ft vestibules make life so much easier when backpacking. Material wise, the Hubba Hubba has a 10,000mm polyurethane coated floor which is unheard of when talking about lightweight 3 season backpacking tents. The warranty is excellent with an unconditional lifetime warranty on the poles (if anything happens to the poles at any time, MSR will replace them). The body and fly have a limited lifetime warranty (limited to manufacturing defects). The footprint is about 6 oz. and is useful in keeping the tent looking new, but can also be used to set up the fly and poles to create an ultra-light shelter if bugs aren't a concern.
Hands down my favorite backpacking tent for two. The all mesh upper keeps the stars in view and keeps the critters out. Its bomber in a bad storm and even survives some light winter camping. Pitch the footprint and rain fly at outdoor concerts to keep yourself out of the rain or too much sunshine. Bottom line - this tent rules the backcountry.
got a long distance hike..., bring your hubba hubba. it does great for long distance hikes. i used it for Philmont, and you know philmont, hiking 10-15 miles a day, this tent is ideal for those kinds of conditions. as for the seam seal, it is fully sealed everywhere.
For long distance hikes this thing does a great job. I took this on the Colorado Trail 468 miles and it worked like a dream. The tent fly and floor is fully seam-sealed.
excited to use this tent set it up next to a Black diamond mirage 2 tent that i had ordered and this thing was way more stable and seemed cavernous inside compared. Grabbed a couple of ground hog stakes for the vestibules and heavier wind and rain. Thanks for the reviews. Exchanged the BD for the MSR...
I bought the Hubba Hubba a year ago and have had the chance to use it several times in the backcountry. It packs light and is very well constructed. I got the footprint to go with it and the system performs great at keeping the floor dry inside the tent. Just took it on the 4-Pass Trail in the Elk Mountains of Colorado (late July) and got poured on the first night. I mean it **RAINED**. However, in the morning I was completely dry. Others in the group with TNF and REI tents were soaked, but the seam-taped floor of the Hubba Hubba combined with the footprint kept me and my partner nice and dry. The unique pole design allows for a rain-fly-only option that sounds great, although I've not tried it out yet. All around it's durable, keeps out the elements, packs light, and is roomier inside than most other 2-person tents. The vestibules are great for housing your packs too (so the stupid marmots don't chew through your salty sweat-soaked stuff...). Highly recommended.
I purchased this tent in may of last year. i decided to go with this tent cause it won the backpackers magazine award thing. But i think i was wrong. it is a very lite tent but its stuff size is big which then i have to put on the outside of my pack which ways my pack to one side and the fly design is int very snug so in wind it flaps really bad and u cant go to sleep. i also tested this out at Bruno sand dunes in Idaho (note i did not sleep on the dune i slept in one of there camp ground things) and the sand came right up under the fly and went through the mesh. When i woke up at about two in the morning my tent was full of sand and when i say full i mean i couldn't see my sleeping partner. all my gear was full of sand. But now i see they make a msr hubba hubba hp with not as much mess which is an improvement. another problem that i have is that after just one year the bottom of the tent has leeks in it. if your looking for a good two person tent go with the marmot crib 2.
The bag it comes in is not necessarily meant to be used for packing. The best way to pack your tent is a compression sack for the body and fly, and then packing the poles and stakes separately. I like to put the stakes in my top-lid and the poles in the one of the back corners of my pack closest to the body. Doing this will alleviate the issues you have with packing (by the way, any tent, including the Marmot Crib 2 will have the same issues if packed in the sack it comes in).
One of the disadvantages of a full mesh tent (again, a problem with any tent with mesh) is that sand will enter. The best tent for sand is a 4-season tent that's fully inclosed in nylon. However, even these will allow some sand to enter. The Hubba Hubba HP will also have this problem.
Finally, the leaks in the floor your experiencing could possibly be avoided with a footprint. Because the Hubba Hubba is an ultra-light tent, the floor is only 40D and must be treated with care. These leaks can be fixed and this is not just an issue with MSR tents. In the ultralight category, the Hubba Hubba actually has a fairly durable floor. For the size and weight, the MSR Hubba Hubba is hard to beat.
