The MSR Hubba Hubba is MSR's best-selling, spacious and lightweight freestanding backpacking tent and was updated in 2022. Compared to its competitors like the Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2, Nemo Dragonfly OSMO, and Sea2Summit Telos, the MSR Hubba Hubba wins out on space, durability, weather-protection, and ease of setup. It was the best choice for me for backpacking in all seasons.

I have always wanted an MSR tent. I have a bunch of MSR gear from snowshoes to stoves and all have been rock solid. I expect nothing more from this tent. What is your favorite backpacking tent?

@Sonjaorleans День назад

Durston solid 2 person is a very good tent

@AndrewHirano 26 дней назад

If you like this classic look, you might as well go for the 3fulgear Floating Cloud 2, which is exactly the same, with the same workmanship.

The Hubba Hubba has been a workhorse for me for 17 years.

@melanie3400 7 месяцев назад

thank you @outsidechronicles, as a shoulder season camper this was a really helpful review. After using my old 6lb backpacking tent for the last 25 years, I've finally decided to try something new. My first choice was the Nemo Dragonfly OSMO but that rain fly scares me! So I started looking at the 2022 MSR Hubba Hubba and your video answered all of my questions :)

@OutsideChronicles 7 месяцев назад

Glad it helped. I still really like the tent. It’s kept me dry in some heavy rain. I still have not gotten any splinters from the poles. @MyLifeOutdoors just did a wind test and the poles were remarkable. The Nemo Dragonfly is also a great tent. It was my second choice, and still go back and forth. I am very happy with the MSR for all of the reasons in the video.

Almost 8 years with mine hubba hubba and I had to fix some small things! But the support was good, and the tent is AWESOME! I’m a thru hiker I did the GR11 with this tent, i it worked perfectly!

@philhamann420 9 месяцев назад

You can easily set up the outer first when you have the footprint :) With the new footprints from MSR you have tie the ropes at each corner so you get a little hole for the poles. Set up the poles and then just put the outer over. It's around 1.2kg that way. (msr says .97)

@OutsideChronicles 9 месяцев назад

Good suggestions!

@GeorgeBeck100 Год назад

Great review. I've gone for the Freelite 2P as I live in New Zealand and I'm only a 3 season hiker. Very happy with my purchase. Seems most people these days go for the tents that require hiking poles to set up. And these people often don't use the 2 poles which means it's basically the same weight. Just prefer tents with poles personality.

@OutsideChronicles Год назад

Great to hear! The Freelite was one of my top options, it had many of the same pluses as the Hubba Hubba…and lighter. I just did not choose it b/c of the large cutout like the Tigerwall and Dragonfly. It was a close second! Thanks for the comment, see you outside!

@atzedevries9563 3 месяца назад

One thing a lot of people forget to mention as well on the Hubba hubba is that the walls are near vertical form the floor which is very useful if you are somewhat tall (i am 195cm something like 6"3 in a weird system) and this tent is the only tent i fit in this category.

@OutsideChronicles 3 месяца назад

Great point!

@vilebeggar7301 10 месяцев назад

You can easily do a fly only pitch by sticking the pole ends into the ground, if it is soft enough. Then just attach your rain fly and clip in the inner tent. Done it a few times in the highlands with considerable downpour and everything was dry inside

@OutsideChronicles 10 месяцев назад

Agree! People say you need the groundsheet to set up outer first, which you don’t. You can just fit the outer to the pole system and peg one end then the other.

I recently purchased a Nemo Hornet OSMO 2p... I'm just over 6'-2" When lay inside, im touching on both sides. I also go winter backpacking in snow storm, my previous MSR tent was great. I think I'll be returning the Nemo for MSR. Your input help reinforced my decision. I'm going on a 25 mile 3 day, 2 night through hike next weekend. We shall see how the Nemo tent does.

@OutsideChronicles 11 месяцев назад

The Nemo Dragonfly was second choice, it looks like it is 1” longer at 88” compared to 87” of the Hornet. The MSR is shorter at 84”. You will get more diagonal space in the MSR w/o the taper, but still might be small for your height. I am 6’1” for reference.

@xSirBaconx Месяц назад

How did your trip go? I’ve heard those Nemo OSMO tents tear super easily and Nemo doesn’t warranty them due to “the nature of the thin material”.

@redwhiteblue7831 Месяц назад

@xSirBaconx ... I posted videos on both trips... I posted a video on why the Nemo is getting returned, the MSR tent was on sale and got back almost $50. The Nemo was returned after it's first trip.

@bentarsaurus1042 7 месяцев назад

I have a question. I like a bit more space in my tents. Is the 2 person better or is the one person tent big enough?. And if the 2 person tent is better isnt it to heavy for me to carry?. And i heard that the tent has a bit of condensation problem going on, is this true? If so, is it bad?

@OutsideChronicles 7 месяцев назад

That is a tough question to answer. I like the 2p even for solo trips. I usually say: 1p is tight, 2p is good for 1 persons, 3p is good for 2 people, etc. I would drop down to a 1p tent if it had sizable vestibules and I wanted to travel ultralight. I have been looking as the Durston X-Mid 1p for that use case. If you get a good 2p tent, there is not that much difference in weight. For example the Hubba Hubba 1p vs. 2p is 2lbs 7oz vs 3lbs 4oz. A 13oz difference is a difference, but I would rather have the space.

Durston 2P Pro is 1lb 5oz (21oz) vs MSR's 3lbs 2oz. Trekking-pole vs Freestanding, but you called for the comparison (then didn't make the comparison), not I. This author will go with Durston's almost 2lbs weight savings every time.

I’m just after buying the hubba hubba nx today. Just wondering if these tents have to be seam sealed? Many thanks

@OutsideChronicles 10 месяцев назад

I honestly do not know. The version I have is seam sealed, which is newer than the NX. There was a time the NX used a new stitching that was not sealed and then leaked. I believe MSR started taping the NX. The NX was mainly sold not in US. Let me know what you find out.

@foreverirish132 10 месяцев назад

@@OutsideChronicles thanks for the reply. On the description (online where I bought the tent) it does say waterpoof taped seams. Hopefully it’s ok.

@aua7933 10 месяцев назад

It was in the video. It’s a great tent but almost a pound heavier. It was actually one of my top 3 choices.

@pero.botelho 3 месяца назад

You buy this tent if you want a shower included. Even if you apply a product to stop the rain from getting inside, it does not work. Furthermore, MSR does not answer to your request. I tought MSR was a great company now I think the opposite. So I put my MSR tent in the garbage even if it was almost new since being wet every time it rains is really not what I was looking for!
