MSR Hubba
The solo version of the Hubba Hubba?. This tent is built for 1, yet offers the same spacious, lightweight benefits of its larger sibling.
Our Verdict
I can't praise this tent enough for design, the head height allows you to sit upright and the transverse pole at the top of the tent means that this height is maintained across the full width of the tent, making it very comfortable and livable when the weather closes in.
In the fast and light pitch with flysheet and footprint the weight comes down to just a shade over 1kg (with ul pegs), this is a very competetive single skin weight considering the tent has its own poleset and the space it delivers.
If you want to get this weight down even further the HP (High Performance) model has been launched for 2008 and is available now.
