Mountain Safety Research Hubba Tent

If one Hubba is good, then a Hubba Hubba is better, right? Not when theres only one of you and youre carrying it in your backpack on a big mileage trip. The MSR Hubba Tent is the lightest freestanding solo tent MSR makes, and its a best seller for a reason. Designed with lots of floor space and a vestibule, this 1-person 3-season tent has lots of mesh and a full coverage fly for great ventilation and protection from wind and rain. A spreader bar at the top of the all-in-one hub-and-swivel pole system gives you lots of head space and plenty of room to sit up in. While it weighs less than 3 pounds already, you can turn this MSR tent into an ultralight shelter when you leave the tent body at home and set it up with the footprint (sold separately) or with a lighter groundsheet of your own choosing for a fast-and-light tarp thatll make your ounce-counting friends drool.

no complaints
I bought this tent a few months ago on sale and love it. It has good construction that stands up solid in the weather. The singular pole system is great. It is very easy to set up and take down, the bag has plenty of extra room in case of fast takedowns. I have no complaints about this tent its very easy to set up, very light and durable. I also like the open mesh for those crystal clear nights! By the way does anyone really care about the name... its unique and so is the tent.

Roomy and Light
I really enjoyed the MSR Hubba Hubba two-person tent, I went and bought the MSR Hubba one-person tent! Lighter and just as roomy! Also versatile - you can pack only the footprint and rainfly for a full shelter! Best three-season tent I have used! Recommended!

a great tent
Set up and break down was quick and easy, great ventilation even with the rainfly, and also loved the side entry which made it easy to get in and out of.

Light, Easy to Set Up, Effective
Great tent for a one man 3-season. Its design allows for more headroom than most other tents of its class. Used it consistently for the summer months (June, July, August) and encountered lots of rain, but never had a problem with this tent. Ive been in everything from light drizzles, to downpours, and it has always kept me dry. The single pole design makes it extremely easy and QUICK to assemble in a hurry. As previously stated though, this is definitely a 3-season tent, so it wont keep you incredibly warm on its own. Also, not that I recommend this, but over the course of the summer I didn't once use a ground tarp or footprint. I would have of course preferred the footprint, but I just never had one and despite that, it still worked like a champ. Excellent quality.

Light,Fast,Cold
Very nice tent for its weight class.Have used even in early spring in the NW Cascades on snow but it,like and net body style tent,allows the wind and cold in.While camped at 7,000ft in Goat Rocks in a very dusty area my tnet filled with dirt during the windy night.Camp in sheltered areas only.Tent will stand up to wind but as you have read there are drawbacks.
