When you’re thinking of buying a tent as I am that’s the kind of video you really want to see. How does it perform in adverse conditions. Great job, thanks.
I’m not sure as it is hard to tell from the video, apologies if it’s correct, but it appears the top pole across the width of the tent is the wrong way up. This should always be on top, and would affect the stability of the tent. It’s a very common mistake but according to MSR it’s designed to work better on top. Fair play to you getting out there and doing it though, well done!
I'm convinced, thank you! Was contemplating between the MSR Hubba NX1 and NEMO Dragonfly. My main concern was the wind resistance, and this video settled that.
Its not pitched in the right way. The top cross bar needs to be on top of the structure. Logically, it is than supported by it. Otherwise you get all the pressure on the connecting little loop. Of course the stability then lacks the whole design.
if you want this tent dont use it in anything over 30 mph and if you want to go out in heavy rain then fabsil the fly and seam seal the seams, remember this video is about pushing this tent to its limits do you want to take that risk in strong winds on a mountain on your own, buy a tent that goes from 30 to 100 mph if you like extreme weather.
That is one of THE most useful tent videos I have ever seen- Thank You. I definitely want to see a tent put up in adverse conditions BEFORE I buy it and do it myself. Great demonstration showing the rotation and the effects on the front of the tent as opposed to having the wind on the backside. Very useful demo- thank you.
Thanks for the excellent content! I have a hubba hubba nx2 and am totally impressed. I've had the tent in some extreme weather situations and it has never failed me. Best Always.....Bob V
Why comment a test when the whole tent isn't used and also in the wrong way..? The top crossed bar should be over the other one, for better stability.. Still a good test ;)
Great real world test on positioning the tent too. Its all well hearing all about it but its nice to actually see the diff and it seemed to be a big diff.
Just stumbled across this video. I’ve owned a Hubba Hubba for a few years and am very pleased with its durability. Excellent work in difficult conditions! Would like to see you attempt to erect the inner tent during similar (rainier?) conditions. I’ve luckily not needed to do that on my trips (yet), but would love to see a demonstration of that prior to a real world situation. Hats off to you, mate!
