A roomy lightweight 3-season shelter for 1 with a vestibule to keep hiking boots and backpack dry.
For the solo backpacker looking to save pounds the MSR Hubba Tent offers spacious three season freestanding protection at a mere 3 lbs. For fastpacking or a leisurely weekend of solitude this 1-person tent may be super light but it's built to withstand everything but a heavy dumping of snow. Thorough polyurethane and silicone coatings of the fly and floor with full seam taping turn back wind blown rain. And when the weather calms down the mesh canopy pitched alone serves as a bug-proof refuge for star gazing. The MSR Hubba Tent has an interior peak height of 40 inches offering enough room to sit up without ducking. At over 7 feet in length it also provides enough room for tall adventurers to get a good night's rest and allow them to stretch if a storm leaves them tent-bound. With just 2 poles and simple clips that attach the poles to the tent body the MSR Hubba Tent pitches in minutes. Reflective guy cords even simplify nighttime set-up assuring that the tent is easy to pitch with only the light of a headlamp. As a feather-light option leave the tent canopy at home and erect the Hubba tent's fly and footprint (sold separately) to create a tarp shelter weighing just over 2 lbs. After studying the Hubba Tent you get the feeling MSR's designers have paid special attention to every last detail. For example a clever tyvek pitching instruction tag is sewn into the stuff sack for handy reference stress points are reinforced for long-lasting durability and the tent includes specially designed and virtually unbendable Ultralight Needle stakes weighing just over a third of an ounce each.
