The MSR Hubba HP really sounds like a very good tent. I am considering buying it (other option is the Mountain Hardwear Skyledge). On thing I am a bit worried about is its storm resistance. I wonder if the single pole design can withstand heavy storms, gale force winds.
The first trip where I will be using this tent is in southern Patagonia (Chili) where it is said it storms continuously.
Any experiences with the Hubba HP in storms?
Thanks for sharing.

The MSR Hubba HP is first and foremost a very lightweight tent. Because of this, by it's nature, isn't as bombproof as a true 4-season tent. What it is is one of the most versatile lightweight tents on the market. It has a 10,000mm coated floor, almost complete nylon canopy, 20D 330T rainfly which is super light but has incredible tensile strength (tensile strength is how much tearing pressure it can withstand), and is one of the more sturdy ultralight weight tents available. However if you know you may experience snowloads or super high winds (over 50 mph), I would consider something more substantial. It will be heavier than the Hubba HP, but the weight may be worth it's weight in gold. I would recommend the MSR Fury or Dragontail. Both these tents, especially if guyed out, are light but incredibly sturdy to withstand the wind and possible snow loads you most likely will experience in Patagonia. The Fury is especially made for these conditions. Both tents have the capability of saving your life if the weather warrants it.
