"I camped for many years in the Pacific Northwest with a MSR hubba hubba and never got wet. ... There is no place on a properly tensioned hubba hubba that the fly touches the tent."

"If you get an MSR Hubba Hubba it can be easily big enough for 2 and your gear and sit outside the tent, but inside the fly."
"We both currently have the msr hubba hubba 2p because we like our space"

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

"The MSR Hubba Hubba I found really awesome for setting up fly-first. ... You can set up the fly without staking anything into the ground. Just stick the pole into one corner eyelet of the fly, bend it and stick it into the opposite corner. Attach it at the top in the center. Then do the other pole. Now you have a free-standing roof that took like 40 seconds to set up and you can crawl under to attach the inner tent. ... this one I found extremely quick and easy to set up in the rain. ... the original Hubba Hubba that I bought 15 years ago and used until maybe 5 or 6 years ago pitched fly-first without any hacks. It didn't even have to touch the ground. You could do it all in the air."
"Drizzle is fine, it only takes a minute to stake out the inner and secure the poles so it doesn't get too wet."
"super easy to set up and store"

"Hubba tent has a single top tube, this design is made to be lightweight but it cannot withstand wind."
"Hubba hubbas aren't particularly great once the wind gets up. ... The pole design just isn't up for it."
"But when it rains with a bit of wind, your feet and head get wet. ... It happens because no matter how you pitch it, the fly doesn't go to the ground at your head and feet. ... Rain hits inner, inner soaks through. ... The fly also touches the inner so it transfers moisture that way too. ... I got wet in the Hubba from consistent rain but it wasn't a storm or anything. It's just that the fly is that high up off the ground that the inner gets splashed, or if there's enough wind then the rain hits directly. It soaked my gear!"

0x2012 1.0The Hubba Hubba with its 20D nylon will definitely feel fragile compared to the 40D polyester. There's no getting away from that since any ultralight tent will have similar or even lighter materials. With that being said, it doesn't necessarily mean that it needs to be babied. I used my Big Agnes Copper Spur with its 15D nylon material over 30 days last year with a dog and it still looks new. I intend on using it for another 30 days this year and if it happens to tear, I'll simply patch it up and continue using it.
Lucky-Network-2523 1.0Sprawdziłem. Testuje najnowszy Hubba Hubba LT1. Film :Biwak w opuszczonej osadzie.... coś ok. 8:15
__n0b 1.0This is a very good tent (love mine) but can drop a full lb with and save about $100 if you already have trekking poles by returning it and grabbing a Durston x mid. It is also double walled, maybe slightly less spacious but not enough to cause any issues. I got an x mid after using the hubba lt for a couple years and the only time I could see myself using the hubba now is if I were staying at a walk in site where I plan on hanging out inside my tent. Also - this thing is heavy duty for a ul tent! Bottom of the X mid maybe slightly less durable, best to use a ground sheet in any case.
oldwatchdan 1.0I don't think you'll have any problem with that tent, it's very popular and proven. I do think you could save 8-12 oz on a lighter freestanding or semi-freestanding tent, but you might think those tents are even more delicate, and some might be more expensive or require you to go to a single wall design.
redbob333 1.0The hubba hubba is one of the more popular freestanding tents in the market. It is definitely not “too delicate”. Anything with ultralight fabrics requires you to be careful with it, but you don’t have to “baby” it. It’s designed to get beat up and used in the field. In fact, it is much heavier and more durable than tents that most of this sub would recommend you. MSR has a solid warranty too. I would just use the tent you have and not think too much about it, unless you want to lose more pack weight by going with a lighter trekking pole tent or something
IFigureditout567 0.8I read about the first third of comments, so I may be repeating some of this. Whatever you do, use two separate mats. The motion transfer on an inflatable mat is unbearable, to me, though some don't seem to mind. You can use one of the various products available to lash them together. The Zenvivy Light Double Bed will take care of that part for you, and you should seriously consider it for your sleep system, if you're looking for that close cuddly sleep style. Sharing the weight of a tent you can get more space per pound than a solo hiker. A 2 person tent is not enough for two people in my opinion. If you want a big roomy tent that's light (and you don't want a DCF or pyramid style tent), you have basically 3 options. The MSR Hubba Hubba LT3, the Big Agnes Copper Spur, and the Tarptent Hogback. All will get you around 2lbs per person, but the MSR is a half pound heavier. The Tarptent Hogback will be the most stormworthy and is the only one that can be set up in the rain while keeping the inner tent dry, though the Big Agnes can do this with the extra weight and expense of the footprint. The Hogback is not a freestanding tent, it's a semi-freestanding tent. The MSR gives you more room at your sides, the Big Agness gives you more room at your head and foot, and the Hogback is square so you have the most side room and the least extra head-to-foot room.
chillenandpillen1 0.4msr the best tents in the game right now, nemo might be a little bit lighter, but the build quality and durability on msrs are 100x better than nemo, also assembling the msr tent is probably easier
GreatLakeFever 0.4i have had the MSR Hubba Hubba for a couple years after it being reocmmended to me by a friend that does a lot of camping. I personally love the tent, it's light and super easy to set up and store. Enough room for 2 people to sleep comfortably but not really any room for anything other than that. It suits my style really well and I will probably continue to buy this model as long as it is available.
harperxbunny 0.4i own a hubba and i love it iv had it for over 5 years now and no complaints
jablongroyper 0.4MSR, it’s not even a question.
