"we take the msr Hubba Hubba instead. Even though it’s way heavier it packs way smaller. ... For hiking I agree it matters less but when bikepacking on a small frame bike, volume matters way more since you are so limited by the clearance between your handlebars and front tire."
"it’s close to 20oz per person"
"It's much more manageable than an Elixir 2, that tent is so heavy and takes up a lot of packing space."

"the one I was using got shredded in strong winds"
"Hubba tent has a single top tube, this design is made to be lightweight but it cannot withstand wind."
"it absolutely could not handle the winds in a storm. ... The tent was flattened during gusts, and the cross bar was slapping me in the face while I was lying in my sleeping bag. ... I spent a couple of hours on my back using my legs to prop the tent up. ... The cross pole snapped a few days later, likely from the stress of the storm."

"I had an MSR Hubba before that was dark green, and now I have an REI tent that is beige and green. It’s much better for waking up in and it blends in with the surroundings. Sleeping in a bit is not an issue anymore."
