Sneak Peak of the updated MSR Hubba Hubba LT Tent

A sneak peek of the updated MSR Hubba Hubba LT Tent that Backcountry Skiing Canada is looking forward to reviewing this Fall.

Watch the video and stay tuned for a full review on our site.

Finally. A 2-person tent that checks all the boxes and allows for use of TWO wide pads without having to upsize to a 3-person tent!

[МаксимЕремин-ят]

I have 3 MSR Tents and this one combines all the features I wanted for a great summer tent! Love that you implemented a simpler storage bag.

[PaulBeiser]

Wow, looks like some big improvements. Thanks for the video!

[outtatrex]

This tent is already on sale on the Rei website. Looks great.

[MrIvanASanchez]

I love everything except for the colour of the fly. Are they going to make it with a green fly for Europe? If so, when?

[kiwiAdventure]

As a owner of two MSR tents I love the considered improvements, shows MSR have really listened to customer feedback. Question the weights you quoted are they the full 'packed weight' excluding the footprint?

[misterbeane]

Still using sil-nylon for the fly which will absorb water and sag. If they went to either a hybrid nylon/poly fly, like the Nemo OSMO fabric, or to a thin sil-poly fly, like Durston uses, this would be the best freestanding tent available. Until then, I’ll stick with Nemo and Durston.

[gioragadio]

When is it going to be available in europe?

[PeterPlaunt]

Looking froward to trying one and also your review. I'm wondering how much weight it gained.

[DanceCommander]

Those are some nice updates. But when I heard, "we have completely redone the tent" I was hoping they had swaped out the Silnylon for a Silpoly fly - kinda like Nemo did where the Osmo material.

It would have been nice to see how big the vestibules are. With the 2 26” pads, it doesn’t leave a lot of space for clothes or other gear so the vestibule space becomes critical usable space.

[TheWessels]

Do you know specs on the fabric? He mentions it’s a ripstop nylon silicone treated. What is the denier weight for fly vs bathtub floor?

[chriskelly]

HHNX best tent ever, in my opinion, until this one.

[curiouspenguin]

Do the mattresses touch the tent walls? I.e. condensation issue?

[davidchapman]

what is the internal length? I find the current 213cm too short. Thanks

Geeze, the guy is pushing so hard that he's running out of breath lol. He sounds like a use car salesman. Now, let's get some facts straight:

VENTS
They're not bigger. They are the same size as before and they just moved them from the door to each ends.

MESH
He forgot mention the mesh is now 20D (previously 10D). Therefore, admiting one of the numerous flaws of the hubba Hubba 2023.

MESH #2
In fact, they reverted to the old design. Which was much better than the 2023 version.

FLOOR
He's avoiding to mention it's now 1800 instead of 1200 Therefore, admiting another of the numerous flaws of the hubba Hubba 2023.

GEOMETRY
How do you set your tent when it's windy? You make sure the narrower side faces the wind. Right? They wanted to give more headroom, however, each end is almost flat vertical. So be sure it'll catch wind like crazy. That's a major flaw.

SIZE
The previous version at 84x50 was plenty big enough. And let's not forget that most solo people will use a 2P tent.

FLY
They wanted to shave weight, so now to fly doesn't cover 100% of each end. Bad decision.

STUFF SACK
No experienced backpacker is using that.

Bottom line:
They new the Hubba Hubba 2023 is a total disaster but just couldn't admit it by fixing the numerous issues. Instead, they came up with this version, still with flaws. Also, the fact the guy avoided to talk about the 10 to 20D mesh and the 1200 to 180mm floor confirms that MSR knows the 2023 is trash but don;t want to admit it....

And last: What the heck is that grey color??? Come on!....

And MSR has the wost customer service in the industry. So much that I'm about to take them to court... No joke.

It’s still nylon. They haven’t learned a damn thing.
