Mutha Hubba so-so

Ranked #1290 - 3-Season Tents
October 4, 2009
I've used this tent over 2 yrs. under a variety of conditions, and I've owned/used numerous tents in both field work and recreation. I read the other reviews and make no mistake about it, it is a good tent but could easily be better. It is very noisy in wind and ventilation could be improved. The leading edge of the sides between the cross poles just hangs down flush with the sides of the tent thus leaving lose material. Dumb. I glued and sewed small straps to the middle of the leading edge that I could put a line through and lead out to a stake. It nicely opens the bottom of the rainfly as in many other tents therefore creating additional ventilation. Why couldn't the company do this; who tested this? To really draw the fly taught one must also stake the fly down. In my opinion these small things do not allow this tent a 5 star rating, 4 star at most. There are better 3person tents at the same price that are made for similar conditions.

Nice! A review written by someone who has owned other tents and gets out more than twice a year. Thanks.
