"It's definitely a good quality piece of gear and I haven't managed to hurt it yet. I'm not typically easy on gear."
"Same. Have hubba and hubba hubba. Both have been outstanding."
"the build quality and durability on msrs are 100x better than nemo"

"If you get an MSR Hubba Hubba it can be easily big enough for 2 and your gear and sit outside the tent, but inside the fly."
"I’m 6 foot three and I have slept in a two person MSR tent with another 6 foot three person."
"The tent floor is 84”x25”. We use Nemo Tensor Regular Wide sleeping pads which are 72”x25”. So, they fill the entire floor width with only a handful of inches top or bottom. ... I am 5’10 with wide shoulders and over 200lbs. She is 5’4.5 (the extra half inch is important to her) and 130’s. We are able to put our packs at our feet and sleep fine."

"The MSR Hubba Hubba I found really awesome for setting up fly-first. ... You can set up the fly without staking anything into the ground. Just stick the pole into one corner eyelet of the fly, bend it and stick it into the opposite corner. Attach it at the top in the center. Then do the other pole. Now you have a free-standing roof that took like 40 seconds to set up and you can crawl under to attach the inner tent. ... this one I found extremely quick and easy to set up in the rain. ... the original Hubba Hubba that I bought 15 years ago and used until maybe 5 or 6 years ago pitched fly-first without any hacks. It didn't even have to touch the ground. You could do it all in the air."
"Drizzle is fine, it only takes a minute to stake out the inner and secure the poles so it doesn't get too wet."
"super easy to set up and store"

"I camped for many years in the Pacific Northwest with a MSR hubba hubba and never got wet. ... There is no place on a properly tensioned hubba hubba that the fly touches the tent."

"Was extremely happy with my MSR tent til their trash glue joints failed on my third trip out and it was impossible to set it up properly (single pole style, and the connectors had retracted into the pole). ... Was a really rough night. ... Hopefully they resolved that issue since, as that’s pretty unacceptable for a $500+ MSRP tent."

"Hubba tent has a single top tube, this design is made to be lightweight but it cannot withstand wind."
"But when it rains with a bit of wind, your feet and head get wet. ... It happens because no matter how you pitch it, the fly doesn't go to the ground at your head and feet. ... Rain hits inner, inner soaks through. ... The fly also touches the inner so it transfers moisture that way too. ... I got wet in the Hubba from consistent rain but it wasn't a storm or anything. It's just that the fly is that high up off the ground that the inner gets splashed, or if there's enough wind then the rain hits directly. It soaked my gear!"
"It also won’t handle wind as well as the XMid2. ... A great feature of the MSR are the near vertical walls which makes it roomy, but then they will catch wind a lot easier."

"I tried lying down in last year‘s hubba hubba two person, and it was too small for me to lie straight across. I’m 6 foot four."
"I could go on a diagonal if I was by myself, but I wanted to be with a friend."

msr the best tents in the game right now, nemo might be a little bit lighter, but the build quality and durability on msrs are 100x better than nemo, also assembling the msr tent is probably easier
r/backpacking • Tent opinions ->i have had the MSR Hubba Hubba for a couple years after it being reocmmended to me by a friend that does a lot of camping. I personally love the tent, it's light and super easy to set up and store. Enough room for 2 people to sleep comfortably but not really any room for anything other than that. It suits my style really well and I will probably continue to buy this model as long as it is available.
r/backpacking • Tent opinions ->i own a hubba and i love it iv had it for over 5 years now and no complaints

r/backpacking • Tent opinions ->I like the Hubba Hubba dual door vestibule design. Can pee out the door without getting out of your sleeping bag.
r/backpacking • 2-person tent for one person ->The Hubba Hubba. You can pee out one vestibule while lying in your sleeping bag and use the other to store your gear.
r/backpacking • Tent opinions ->MSR all day. Consider what happens to nemo in the rain when you are on your knees in the doorway trying to load your gear into tent and unpack sleeping bag. Fly profiles are important. Go for the one that covers the entrance.
r/backpacking • Tent opinions ->I personally like equal space at the head and foot of my tent, so I would go with the Hubba. But you really can’t go wrong with either.
r/backpacking • Tent opinions ->MSR Hubba Hubba 2LT Freestanding Packaged Weight: 3.375 lb (1.54 kg) $549.95 Durston X-Mid 2 Trekking Pole tent Typical Setup (Tent, Sack, 6 Stakes) 2.125 lb / 965 g $289 USD ($299 with stakes) If you use trekking poles, I think the Durston tent is the way to go. If you prefer freestanding, the MSR tent is obviously a good choice. If you like freestanding tents, the Big Agnes Copper Spur 2 is similar price to the MSR tent and slightly lighter so may be worth your consideration. These are all good choices but weight is a concern for me so I go with the lightest option I feel safe and comfortable in.
r/lightweight • Good durable beginner 2 person tent under 4 pounds ->I wouldn’t pay full price for the MSR Hubba Hubba LT2. I got one super cheap, set it up and ultimately sold it and got a Durston XMid 2. If you need freestanding, they also have the XDome 2.
r/backpacking • Tent opinions ->I am transitioning from hammock camping so I can bring my daughter along and so I have a setup for sub alpine camps. I do think the MSR Hubba Hubba LT2 is a nice tent that is a true 2p tent, but is grossly overpriced for what it is. I’m not a fan of Sil Nylon as a fly material as it sags when wet. Not a big issue for most, but I’ve always used with a Sil Poly tarp or a DCF tarp, so I appreciate a tarp/fly that doesn’t sag or absorb water. It also won’t handle wind as well as the XMid2. A great feature of the MSR are the near vertical walls which makes it roomy, but then they will catch wind a lot easier. Finally, a lot of my camp gear are from small manufacturers and I appreciate the thought and detail they put into their products. Durston is a small company based in BC Canada and is an active member in camping/hiking communities and is constantly revising his products based off of feedback.
r/backpacking • Tent opinions ->Just went through this process - most 2 person tents have tapered floors. So they’ll start around 52” but go down to 46”ish at the foot end. The new MSR Hubba Hubba LT2 is 52” wide throughout which is nice, but my Nemo Quassar Double is 52” and just fits. I ended up settling on the Sea to Summit Telos 3. It’s just under 5lbs and looks palatial for 2 people and is currently on sale from their website(probably to make room for an updated model).
