purchased this tent for its lightweight design, and super lightweight rainfly. the entire tent beneath is pretty much nothing but screen, which means a few things. first, no bugs getting in, EVER. second, if you hit a hard wind in this tent, theres a large gap inbetween the ground and the bottom of the rainfly, so theres nothing to stop small particles flying through the tiny threaded screen of the body of the tent which, after a night of wind ( especially in the desert ) makes it simple to wake up with a brand new layer of detritus all up on you. i have encountered this nowhere but the desert, however, so dont get too worried. secondly, it is snug and cute, with enough room to move just a bit. dont get excited about fitting two people in it though, cuz youre gonna have to be reeeal comfortable with eachother. cute tent, thought id go with the hubba 2 man, or the mh hammerhead.

I think your talking about the Hubba, not the Hubba HP. The 'HP' version has very little mesh (a little on the 'roof' and on the door). The Hubba HP has a list of improvements, or upgrades, over the standard Hubba, making it a 3+ season tent. This is the one I reach for for most of my backcountry camping simply because it is a tad more weatherproof, and can be set up a bit more taught. This is currently my favorite tent on MSR's line.
