MSR Hubba NX : Tested in Iceland & Hawaii

On Tour gear test in Iceland and Hawaii. Cold winds. Heat and salt water spray. Impressions from Iceland and Hawaii.
...
I am overwhelmed that this video got 100.000 clicks. That is huge for a small channel like mine.

Totally agree with your thought on real world test over garden set up- thanks

Yes! Finally someone pitching a tent on the trail and giving us info we really need on how these shelters perform in varying conditions. I think these sort of tents are great for warmer and more sheltered environments e.g. below treeline hiking (like the AT) but really couldn't imagine using them longer term in more exposed and extreme environments like Iceland, and Scotland where I live. Thanks!

Thanks for a great review. Good too finally see the tent in actual use, rather than as you said in some garden😅

Thanks for an interesting review!
Personally I like the mesh specifically because it helps avoiding heavy condensation thanks to the ventilation. Also, watching the stars :-)

I went with the two person version. Thank you for the review.

MSR has a Hubba Tour version. It seems nice for cold weather. These Hubba tents have a lot of options. There is a gear shed attachment for most of them and also a fast and light footprint for lightweight carry or just a quick open setup without the tent body.

Thanks for making this review. I have been looking at many tent reviews and so far yours has given me a mucht better idea of what to expect from this tent on the trail. So great job!

At 6:05, one could have put the rucksack on its side along the lower edge of the tent, thus relieving the mesh from the stress, and repairing the tent better from wind and dust entering from below the rain fly.

Thanks for the genuine review, I am fed up with hidden advertisements.

Great review, very helpful and good to see the tent in action.

Cracked up at the jibe on backyard, straight out of box "reviews"! As others mentioned, great job providing on-trail review & giving very helpful observations even on the fly color (green vs grey) & the difference that mesh made against rough winds. Keep it up!

I agree, raw and unscripted is the best. Thanks for doing a great review!

An Alftavatn wind storm killed my Big Agnes tent and now I’m looking for another one. Good to know that the Hubba can hold up to the winds at Alftavatn! Thanks!

A good real use review. I have just bought but not used one of these Hubba NX's for solo motorcycle touring after deciding to change from a larger heavier tent. I'm glad a watched your video as a lot of all the other reviews have like you said have been in someone's garden. Thanks for sharing.

Great review. I used my Tarptent in Iceland and u are right. Wind is the toughest thing in Iceland. Tarptent went really weel, but there were a few rough nights.

Loving the coat as a foot cozy while in your sleeping bag :)

I also have a Hubba. It is a lightweight one, but is older model than your one. It still has the same amount of mesh on the inner tent. I have done kayak trips with it. Packs down so small and is simple to put up.

Sweet video, ive used the same tent for 2 seasons now and it's treated me well

Great review - thanks to your input I don’t think this is the tent for me but it’s great to get an honest opinion.

when you pitch the tent on the rain sheet.. where you pegged it down.. there are little red grommits, they actually connect over the poles. this way you need less pegs and less weight as a result. its also more secure and stops your rain sheet from being blown away in higher winds. :) hope that helps

You'd make for a great partner in life and travel....I admire your spirit.

Thank you for the real world review and set up. I appreciate it. I was considering this tent for Iceland. I will look elsewhere, for something else. Have a great life. Happy trails. Peace.
