I have an elixir 2 and hubba nx 1 and rarely use them. Subpar tents where you’re paying for the brand name. I have a xmid 1 solid which I much prefer but it’s by no means a 4 season tent. Maybe look at the new Fjern Stormgrotta when it’s back in stock. It looks like it can take a beating and you can’t beat it for £160.
I was lucky and found a hubba 1p on clearance for £100 at go outdoors. It’s a decent tent but there’s no way I would pay full price for it. I massively prefer my x-mid
I have a MSR HH NX1. I like that its size means that I can pitch it in tiny spaces. If it's not windy then if I can lie down in the space I can pitch. It's well built if the weather does get bad. I've looked at the X Mid but I really don't need the space. I don't cook or hang around inside my tent, it's just for sleeping. It does mean that my pack has to sit in the tiny vestibule and is often damp in the morning. The HH is also inner pitch first which bothers a lot of people. Personally I find that it goes up quickly enough to keep everything dry if it's raining. There is a large gap between the ground and the bottom of the fly which can let the wind through and there's no adjustment. With a trekking pole tent you can lower the poles. If build quality, stealth and being able to pitch in small spaces are important the NX1 is a good choice.
I actually think it is the whole tent and foot print, other photos don’t show the footprint separately and description is… Feature The MSR Hubba Hubba NX 1 Person Lightweight Backpacking Tent is made of 210T Waterproof Ripstop PU3000 fabric with a >3000mm waterproof index and UPF >50, ensuring durability and sun protection. Its double-layer design and 7.9mm high-strength aluminum alloy poles provide stability, while the easy-to-build structure and breathable yarn net doors enhance convenience and comfort. The tent's compact size and ultralight weight of 1.6kg make it ideal for solo outdoor adventures. I mean you might not get a tent… anything’s a possibility at that price
I think this one is actually a tent with everything include but looking at the reviews you might not get it fully stiched or might be missing the zip for the door and so on lol
For solo trips, the 1-person version should be perfect, especially if you want to save weight without sacrificing quality. Definitely worth the $260 if it’s in good condition.
I can recommend this tent. It’s the Fjern Gökotta 1. It‘s weight is about 1,1 kg and the price around 180-200 EUR. I used it on a 3 month tour through Spain and Portugal. It is small, light, rainproof and easy to pitch. It‘s very similar to the MSR HUBBA 1 nx, which used before and was a totally mess for the that high price. Good Luck 🤞 https://preview.redd.it/m8kb8svvhjig1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f20a812e282e14c46a47f074f1620f5ff8a565a6
Started with an MSR Hubba NXT (1 person) and went with that till New York. Never let me down and I’m a fan of free standing. Came in handy a few times (one when I realised that sweet smell in the air was the privy. It was not sweet). Picked up the tent and moved it closer to ‘freshness’. Shipped it off in New York to my son who’d join me for the 100 mile wilderness. That saw me with the Big Agnes Tiger Wall 2 man tent. Similar weight to the NXT. LOADS of room. Loved it. Never let me down despite some real testing weather. And all but free standing 2. So add both these tents to your list. You’ll get many suggestions, and that’s because they worked for people. So many good tents out there.
I have the 2 and the 6 person hubba. I love the 2 person for solo, you can bring all your gear in the tent and has enough space and doesn’t weigh that much. I find the 1 person a little cramped for my liking, but certainly doable. Great tents in any event.
I've used the MSR Hubba 1-man for about a decade and it has held up quite well in all sort of conditions.
