1.Review from Customer "Mudhole":
"I'm absolutely loving this tent. While it is heavier than some other models I was considering purchasing (Tarptent, Big Agnes, etc), this model had the features that my wife and I were looking for as our new thru-hike backpacking shelter.
A true rectangle, you get a floorplan that doesn't taper at the feet end. This means you can fit 2 adults shoulder to shoulder and still fit. Who wants to sleep with their face by someone else's feet after days of hiking? I sure don't.
The mesh tent body construction breathes very well, pretty much eliminating condensation. The rainfly also breathes extremely well, allowing just enough airflow through to keep condensation down considerably while still keeping you warm inside. The fly also has an extra optional vent on each end to allow even more airflow on those warmer nights, and these vents can also be closed with velcro.
The tent is extremely secure even in high winds. The simple setup process, including full tent, rainfly, and footprint, means you can get out of the weather very quickly.
The vestibules provide ample space for a pack and pair of shoes on each side, and it also allows each occupant to have their own entry/exit point. Critical when you need to keep gear dry, but when you also need to get in/out for those nighttime bio breaks.
I'm 6'1" and 230 lbs, and I fit great in this tent. My wife is much smaller than me, so we fit just fine side by side and have plenty of foot room inside, and head space for our stuff sack pillows. The cross beam on the top pole keeps the side walls away from you, making the tent walls vertical all around you. 2 storage netting shelves built into the tent provide more than enough overhead/over-foot storage for multiple items such as our headlamps, both phones, charger battery, and some other small items.
With 2 people, we had this tent set up, without instructions, in 7 minutes. On the second test, I assembled it solo and had it fully up in 6 minutes without help. Takedown was even faster, which is always a plus when you're up before the sun and want to get back on the trail quickly.
The fabric is thin on this tent (tent body consists of 2 densities of mesh, basically. The floor is then tent material, so spend the extra $49 and get the optional footprint. I can't overstate that enough. This tent, including stuff sack, poles, stakes, and footprint, pack up very easily into the included top-loading compression sack and it packs small enough to easily fit inside of your pack with room for all other necessary gear. It also straps very easily to the outside of your pack, and packs short enough to not stick out past the sides of your pack.
Total weight with stuff sack, tent body, rainfly, footprint, tent pole set, and all 10 ground stakes came out to 4.07lbs on my digital scale. Again, a little heavier than some, but lighter than many. 4 lbs truly is not bad at all for having everything you need for a full setup."
2.Review from Customer "Marit":
"Super easy set-up and pretty spacious for such type of tent. Also, it is very easy to take it down and fold it up. I didn’t use it in the rain yet, so I cannot say anything about whether it is waterproof or not."
3.Review from Customer "Chris":
"I've had this tent for five years, been on four two week long solo expeditions in the mountains, as well as several 3 nighters on Dartmoor. It still performs as well as the day I bought it.
It's a three season tent. The fly sheet leaves a fairly large gap at the bottom, which really helps cut down condensation, especially if there is a breeze. Otherwise there are plenty of venting options.
It kept me alive in a snow storm in the Pyrenees, but I did have to pile snow around the base of the fly sheet to keep the warmth in. It stands up to wind well also.
If you're looking for ultra light, look elsewhere. It's not too heavy though, and for the extra weight you get bags of headroom, and plenty of space to spread out, especially if you're not sharing.
I really like how bright the tent is inside. It's a great place to hang out at the end of a long day on the trail."
4.Review from Customer "PCT HIKER":
"First off, the tent is spacious and easy to set up. I saw several of these tents on the PCT, and the owners loved them. When the zipper on my 4 year old Copper Spur UL1 broke and started to leak during a storm at Cascade Locks last August 2019, I decided to buy the Hubba Hubba with the thought of sleeping in a new tent for the rest of my PCT hike. On the 3rd night of use, I tripped over a rock on a dark night, landing on the tent, and a pole snapped like a twig. The break was in a bad spot, so the tent collapsed (I weighed 109 lbs at the time). Another hiker gave me a splint that worked temporarily. Sierra Designs sent a new pole that took about 10 days to arrive. Very disappointed that the pole snapped so easily. In comparison, my Copper Spur held up in 60 mile winds, snow, and downpours. I still love the Hubba Hubba, but found it to be very fragile. Great design though. Also, it is not UL, but I knew that before I ordered it. I'm starting on my next PCT hike in early March 2020 and worry that this tent won't hold up."
5.Review from Customer "YetiJedi":
"After 20 nights or so in the BWCA in all types of weather, this tent has quickly become my favorite. Lightweight and compactable, it is easy to stow away for travel between campsites. The tent has withstood strong winds, heavy rain, and cold temperatures. It will fit two people and the entrances/vestibules on both sides would be convenient. It is, however, perfect for me as a solo tent so I can bring the slightly larger inflatable air pad and at 6'2" the length is just right. Quick and simple setup is appreciated. When the rain fly is wet, it is easy to store separate and keep the actual tent fairly dry. Good ventilation. One drawback: the visibility with the vesitbule open is somewhat limited when laying down - I would prefer more see-through mesh on the doors, but that is exceptionally picky.
Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase. The tent has exceeded performance expectations. When I purchase a larger tent for traveling with more people, the Hubba Hubba will get very strong consideration."
6.Review from Customer "atsobo":
"I'm an avid outdoorsman. I usually spend about 120 nights a year camping. This is my second hubba hubba. There a great tent and at least my last one was extremely durable it lasted over 8 years of hard use. The new one I received has a lot of upgrades. I really like the light diffusing pockets in the ceiling. The vestibule have been greatly improved too. The zipper is along the side not down the middle. I use the 2 person and there is plenty of room for me and all my gear. That's not counting the vestibule they add a lot of extra storage. Another upgrade is vents in the rain fly that can be opened or closed. I cant speak highly enough of MSR I use a lot of there gear... stoves filters etc. The reason I only gave this great tent 3 stars is because it leaked on the very first trip. Right at the top of the dome water is coming through a seam. I've examined all the stitching and it is very neat and uniform. However I'm in it right now and getting dropped on and it's just a mild shower. I'm sure a tube of seam seal will fix this. But for $450 dollars I didn't expect to have to seam seal. My old hubba hubba never leaked I only retired it because the floor was worn through in places. So to sum it up i think its a great tent but I'm very disappointed. (Second pic is of water running down the bug netting)"
7.Review from Customer "Ryan W":
"My wife and I (and our dog) love to backpack and over the last year have been switching over to ultralight equipment. I spent quite a while researching different two person tents and finally settled on the Hubba Hubba NX. I was looking for a tent that had enough room for the two of us, was plenty light, but also didn't sacrifice quality/durability for weight, and I think the Hubba Hubba NX is the right call for us.
I am 6'2", my wife is 5'3", and our dog is a 45lb lab/border collie mix. Our packs are each around 20-25lbs. We fit perfectly in the tent and our dog sleeps in one side of the vestibule while our packs are in the other.
This tent is made of really high quality materials, which can be seen everywhere from the silNylon that it uses for the body/fly down to the all metal tabs on the tent body/fly that the poles lock into. The tent is also perfectly symmetrical, which makes for easy setup. One thing we noticed during our last trip that was a really nice feature is that if you have the tent door open, but not tied back, it doesn't hit the ground - a small, but appreciated detail.
Overall, I couldn't ask for a better two person tent. Light, durable, quality.

8.Review from Customer "holly huff":
"Can't say enough good things about this tent. I had the MSR Elixir 3, for car camping, before this one. I wanted to go lighter weight and I'm so glad I did! Packs well, easy to set up, comfortable layout, excellent ventilation. I do recommend using a footprint, as the materials are lighter weight and slightly less durable. You can make your own or shell out $$ for MSR's specific one with grommets. They really don't include any accessories with this model. Guy out points were sufficient for my purposes. It could fit 2 people tightly (lager packs would probably need to stay in the vestibules, and no luxury width sleeping pads). I just used it solo in the Sierra/Yosemite and loved having that space to keep my gear inside and out of the dust. Temps fluctuated between 38F at night and 75F during day, didn't experience any condensation with vestibules closed and vents opened. Haven't had the opportunity to test it with precipitation, though. For the backpacker who isn't ready to go truly ultralight, this is a brilliant choice."
9.Review from Customer "Josh Aldy":
"I've only been out a few times in this tent so far, so I can't speak to its durability other than that the material seems really solid and my current expectation is that this tent will last a long, long time. That being said, this thing is a drastic improvement over other tents I've camped with. There is no other tent I know of that provides so much interior room with such little weight at such low a cost. If pack weight and tent interior size are factors that are important to you, look no further. I'm 6" and I can stretch out with my arms above my head, and I can sit up with plenty of clearance to spare. The two vestibules provide an enormous amount of easy access storage which has been a really nice feature. I researched tents exhaustively before settling on this one, and I have yet to experience any second thoughts. This is a really well designed tent, and if and when I need to replace it, I'll buy another one without shopping around for anything else."
10.Review from Customer "Tammy":
"I gave it 4 stars for lightweight because there is some out there lighter but with footprint this one weighs in at 4.1 pounds and I can deal with that. I have used it on two outings and it is very easy to set up. It is very roomy for one. A tight squeeze for two but you can put your boots and gear in the vestibules.I am glad I got the 2-person. I love that it has two doors and vestibules. I had time to set up my tent before a light and steady rain. Tent stayed perfectly dry. It dripped all night from the trees above. My tent was dry in the morning and no condensation problem. I bought the footprint for extra protection. I am looking forward to many camping and backpacking trips with this awesome tent."
