My MSR Hubba Hubba's tent poles broke two times in three consecutive trips. Not using them incorrectly and I've never had any other tent poles snap in 30 years of camping. They replaced the poles for free (other than shipping) but it wasn't fun to deal with while in the backcountry. Now it's in a box in the garage. Expensive junk. Maybe newer models are constructed better, but they lost me as a customer.
The Hubba isn’t designed for high winds. It’s a lightweight and very roomy three season tent. I own one and they’re great in the right conditions. When moderate wind is forecast though, I take my Hille.
MSR Hubba Hubba is a very spacious and airy tent, light and packable. I’ve got the one man version and it’s great for three season use.
Pitches inner first but in reality it’s so quick to put up that’s it’s a non issue unless you’re in an absolute biblical monsoon.
I have the MSR Hubba hubba 2 and also the naturehike cloud up (although not sure if 2 or 1??)
Happy with both, although the MSR tent definitely feels a bitsturdier. I’ve had it for 7 years and used it extensively and it’s still in great shape. Very comfortable for one person, a bit tight for two people!
I have an X Mid Dome 2 freestander:

It’s much pricier at $470 but weighs only 2.7 pounds.
One great feature is after the first time setup, you can keep the fly and tent connected and pitch it all at once quite easily.
I had a Hubba Hubba 2 person (much heavier, a little bit cheaper) and used it a lot.
I keep thinking about a 1 person or the X Mid Dome 1+ but in the end I keep coming back to loving the room to stretch out (esp nice if you have to hunker down in bad weather).

Spacious vestibule, strong in storms, but rainfly tricky solo.
