I recently purchased the Hubba HP tent. It set up faster than any tent I've had, but when I took it to Scotland for the TGO Challenge (west to east coast hike), forecasts were for 90mph wind gusts the first night (I stayed in a B&B and wimped out). The second night, when I couldn't procrastinate any more, I borrowed a Hilleberg AKTO tent which held up fabulously. I don't think the MSR Hubba BP could have taken 70mph gusts, driving rain, and sleet. It rained 9 of the 13 days. Anyone know if an MSR Hubba could take those 70mph gusts? I didn't chance it... I went with the most popular choice of those crazy Scots............

Update: I ended up using the tent on a 10-day kayaking expedition in Alaska. We got "galed" in for 7 of those days with 35-40 knot winds The tent held up well, and it stayed dry other than condensation. I would like to see better ventilation in future models, perhaps a "sliding door" on the back side to allow for more airflow. A friend on the trip had an Exped Vela 1 tent which allowed him to get more air into the tent, but did not give the same amount of vestibule space or the ability to heat hot water in the vestibule. Overall, I love the tent. Light. Easy to set up and tear down. More than enough room for me (I'm 5'3" and 124 lbs, so there was plenty of room above my head to stash things). Factory sealed seams.

Obviously a 4 person tent would hold up better, but I've been in some 60 - 70 mph gusting winds in a 3 person tent before and it held up very well. Just my 2 cents.
