How about its four pound (1.8 kg) weight, with more than enough room for two? Or maybe it’s the freestanding, easy-pitch hub and pole system that sets up in a flash and is strong enough to handle the unpredictability of summer alpine conditions? Add 3 setup options, 2 full-size doors and vestibules, strong aluminum poles and factory-taped seams, and you’ll begin to understand why the Hubba Hubba tent remains the best selling Fast & Light® tent in the world.

Our Verdict
A high quality 2 person tent with excellent headroom. We like the flexibility of the fast and light option of flysheet plus footprint, which in this case brings the weight down to 1450g, thats a lot of comfort for only 725g each person.
MSR have shaved the weight of the Hubba Hubba this year, we reckon it weighs around 100g less than last. However for an even lighter version with full fabric inner in preference to the mesh - check out the new Hubba Hubba HP.
