MSR Hubba Tent
MSR Hubba Tent - Awesome single person tent.
Single person tents are great for the backpacker who likes to venture out on their own. Or, maybe for those who just aren’t in touch with their sexuality enough to share a tent with another member of the same sex. Either way, the MSR Hubba Tent is a great single person tent. It offers plenty of room, is extremely light, and won’t break the bank when you go to buy it.
One of the best features of the MSR Hubba Tent is its sheer size. the MSR Hubba Tent offers plenty of space for one person to move around without any problem. Most single person tents barely offer more room than a coffin. The MSR Hubba Tent on the other hand offers plenty of leg space and headroom. No longer will you have to try to wiggle in and out of your clothes while laying on your back in your tent.
Better than all the room the MSR Hubba Tent offers, is its ability to offer all that room without weighing your pack down. One reason the MSR Hubba Tent is able to do this is because 80% of the tent is noseeum mesh. The MSR Hubba Tent also includes a generous rain fly that create a vestibule large enough to hold all your gear. Not only does it store your gear, but helps to create a dry entry point so that you wont bring the outside in.

Why they rock:
- Configured to maximize the tent’s interior space, the all-in-one, swivel-hub pole system is strong and light
- High-tech ripstop nylon rainfly reduces weight and the silicon and polyurethane coating increases durability and resistance to damaging UV rays
- Large vestibule provides dry entry and gear storage and still leaves room for a covered food-prep area
- Dry Entry design ensures water won’t drip into the tent when door is opened for ventilation in rainy weather
- Attention to detail shows in the taped seams, reinforced stress points, ultralight stake loops, reflective guy cords and user-friendly door toggles
- Ultralight needle stakes are virtually unbendable and nearly weightless
- Save weight and create a minimalist shelter by using just the rainfly, poles and footprint (sold separately)
Seat-of-the-pants rating: 9 out of 10
