MSR - Hubba Hubba Bikepack 1

I love my MSR Hubba tents. I have a Hubba Hubba 2p and a Hubba NX 1p. The ability to pitch your fly and footprint before your tent is crucial for me. Keeps your shit dry when you have to face the rain. Not sure if the BA tents can do that. Others will chime in. The green fly is great for stealth mode.

I do a few national trails in the Uk, and fit them in when I can. That might mean a train after work, and starting till 8pm or later, last one I started walking at 9:30pm and by nearly midnight had covered 8-miles of mostly canal path. I went past a few decent spots early on then nothing for ages. Eventually found a crappy pitch with no decent pegging, I set off again at 07:00. Wouldn’t have been an issue in my free standing tent, sadly I took a single hoop, and thank goodness it was dry. It certainly allows more freedom in pitch choice. Which the situations you describe might well occur. Have even used the inner indoors just to deter flies/midges. Currently I’m replacing my tent. Hubba Hubba Bike pack 1 is preferred, or possibly msr freelit.

I have the MSR Hubba Hubba bikepacking tent which is right about 2lbs in 1 person variant. It comes with a nice compression sack and foam spacers that can be strapped directly to handlebars although I usually just put it in a larger roll top bar bag with some other things. I think it’s mostly a good tent. The only downside is it can be a kind of hot with the dark rain fly and limited mesh. The upside is that it’s relatively private even without the rainfly, and it holds heat well on colder nights. On really hot trips I’m likely to use a bivvy anyways so this works for me.

I’ve seen to many guys in these courses get a four season tent and then have condensation. You need a three season tent. I love my hubba hubba. Would recommend the ultralight.

Hubba Hubba has been bomb proof in heavy wind for me
