My zipper broke in my tent and I sent it to MSR and they don't do zipper replacements. What about a lifetime warrenty? No more MSR for me.

I love the open, spacious design, and option to just set up the rain fly and poles without the interior tent. But, I've only used it a few times and the rain fly seam protection started delaminating and the fly became extemely sticky and yucky. It's like it started melting. Weird. I had to return it. Maybe we got a defective one, because nobody else has mentioned this problem.

I have used the Hubba and the Hubba Hubba in Haiti for the past year-and-a-half, and I could not be more delighted with a product. I have been through tropical downpours with big wind and nothing to provide any shelter for the tent, and it has performed perfectly every time. I own expedition tents by North Face and Mountain Hardware, and neither hold a candle to the MSR. I have been a climber and trekker for 35 years, and an architect and industrial designer for 30; the Hubba Hubba rings all the bells! I find this to be the case with all the MSR products (water purification, cookware, stove, and my Hubba); design, fabrication, materials, and performance are top notch.

Bought the new 2011 Hubba Hubba and got caught out in a huge storm. My wife and I stayed warm and dry. I love this tent. The space inside was great. I opened one side and had a nice couple ours inside playing cards, making bracelets and watching it rain.

I just got this tent recently on Clearance at my local REI store. I already have the incredible Mutha Hubba for my nephew and I to use as we are both over 6 feet tall. I was using the new version of the REI Half Dome 2. I loved the Half Dome till I got this Hubba Hubba. It is longer and lighter than the REI tent. I will now use the Hubba Hubba and ditch the REI tent, (Not sure why it was Backpacker's Editor's Choice Award for 2010?) as the REI tent has 3 seperate poles to the MSR's 1 hubbed pole. The other thing I love about this tent is the single zip to open and close the door. The issues I had with the REI tent is that you had to use 2 seperate zippers to open the door, and the way the rainfly was on the REI tent is that if raining or snowing and you open the rainfly water just pours in as it opens right over the doors. The MRS tent's rainfly opens out away from the door. The other thing I love about MSR products (Cascade Designs) is that they back up their producs. I had a pole break on a tent I purchased used from a private party about 2 years ago and I called them and they sent me new poles no questions asked. With REI products you have to prove you got the tent there, and not from a private party. I have only used this Hubba tent twice so far, once in rain and once with a freak snow storm in the Colorado rockies and both times it held up well. The only downfall is if you are near sand and the wind blows you will need to expect some sand into the tent. FYI. I also have (for solo camping) the MSR Hubba HP with the solid material so I don't have that issue. Otherwise this tent kept me dry and very little condensation as I used a footprint underneath. I also am an avid reader of Backpacker Magazine and learned a few tricks from them. One is to keep yourself warm (2010 Survival Guied issue)you should use a closed cell (self inflating pad) under a non-self inflaiting pad to stay way warmer. I tried that and had no condensation either as my body was farther away from the ground. All in all I would highly recomend the MSR Hubba Hubba for 2 smaller people or one larger person and gear.

I bought my Hubba Hubba from HumbleOutdoors for $237 w/free MSR footprint.
MSR really perfected this design, which has yet to be surpassed by (nearly) any other tent manufacturer (possible exception: MSR Hubba Hubba HP). The hub-pole is simple and lightweight, making set up a breeze. The fine mesh allows for great ventilation, further weight shavings, and excellent star gazing on nights without the rain fly. The coatings on both the fly and floor of the tent are very strong and ample for, dare I say, 'excessive' waterproofing. The interior walls are drawn nearly vertical to create a welcoming large space inside, complemented by two roomy vestibules for your gear and nice, bright colors to add a little cheer if you end up caught in your tent during a downpour.

We have owned a Hubba Hubba for three years and have noticed that the floor will allow, or draw moisture into the tent even on dry nights from the ground. We always store it dry, clean and loose, not in a stuff sack. It is frustrating since it is not exactly cheap! Our Big Agnes Copper Spur UL3 does not have this same problem.

We have owned and loved our Hubba Hubba for several years but this time out - we just returned from through-hiking the JMT - we hit only one night of rain, and the fly sagged onto the netting and the tent leaked mightily. Don't know why. Hubby guyed out four more angles using the tentfly door toggles which helped, but the Thermarests were still sitting in a pool of water in the morning, thankfully keeping our down bags mostly dry. A few nights later it fared very well in gale-force wind gusts just under the Whitney final ascent.

Own it and love it. Its Rainproof, Cozy but comfortable with two people. Great one person tent and light enough for one person to easily carry. I have the version with the Taffeta walls rather than the mesh - it's actually an ounce lighter and gives better wind protection. Vestibules good for shoes but a pack won't fit - cover your pack and put it under a tree. Happy I bought the ten.
