Product Description
The MSR Hubba Hubba NX 2-Person Lightweight Backpacking Tent is the quintessential 3-season backpacking tent. The freestanding design features pole geometry and a non-tapered floor that maximizes space with 29 square feet of floor area, and a peak interior height of 39 inches. Two generous vestibules provide an additional 8.75-square-feet on each side of the 2-door tent (total 17.5-square-feet) for gear storage. The adjustable, cross-ventilating rainfly features a kickstand vent, and rollup vestibule for stargazing. Setup is easy thanks to the unified hub-and-pole system, and color-coded clips. For fast and light travel, the body of the tent can be left behind, and a minimalist shelter constructed using a footprint (sold separately), poles, and rainfly. Includes tent, poles, rainfly, stakes, guy lines, and compression stuff sack (tent packs down to 18x6 inches). Available in two configurations: with the DuraShield Coating and DAC Featherlite NFL poles where complete setup weighs 3.5 pounds, minimum setup weighs 3 pounds, or with the Xtreme Shield Waterproof Coating (lasts up to 3 times longer than standard coatings) with premium Easton Syclone Poles (resists breaking in fierce winds) where complete setup weighs 3.5 pounds, minimum setup weighs 3 pounds. Manufacturer’s 3-year limited warranty.

A true rectangle, you get a floorplan that doesn't taper at the feet end. This means you can fit 2 adults shoulder to shoulder and still fit. Who wants to sleep with their face by someone else's feet after days of hiking? I sure don't.
The mesh tent body construction breathes very well, pretty much eliminating condensation. The rainfly also breathes extremely well, allowing just enough airflow through to keep condensation down considerably while still keeping you warm inside. The fly also has an extra optional vent on each end to allow even more airflow on those warmer nights, and these vents can also be closed with velcro.
The tent is extremely secure even in high winds. The simple setup process, including full tent, rainfly, and footprint, means you can get out of the weather very quickly.
The vestibules provide ample space for a pack and pair of shoes on each side, and it also allows each occupant to have their own entry/exit point. Critical when you need to keep gear dry, but when you also need to get in/out for those nighttime bio breaks.
I'm 6'1" and 230 lbs, and I fit great in this tent. My wife is much smaller than me, so we fit just fine side by side and have plenty of foot room inside, and head space for our stuff sack pillows. The cross beam on the top pole keeps the side walls away from you, making the tent walls vertical all around you. 2 storage netting shelves built into the tent provide more than enough overhead/over-foot storage for multiple items such as our headlamps, both phones, charger battery, and some other small items.
With 2 people, we had this tent set up, without instructions, in 7 minutes. On the second test, I assembled it solo and had it fully up in 6 minutes without help. Takedown was even faster, which is always a plus when you're up before the sun and want to get back on the trail quickly.
The fabric is thin on this tent (tent body consists of 2 densities of mesh, basically. The floor is then tent material, so spend the extra $49 and get the optional footprint. I can't overstate that enough. This tent, including stuff sack, poles, stakes, and footprint, pack up very easily into the included top-loading compression sack and it packs small enough to easily fit inside of your pack with room for all other necessary gear. It also straps very easily to the outside of your pack, and packs short enough to not stick out past the sides of your pack.
Total weight with stuff sack, tent body, rainfly, footprint, tent pole set, and all 10 ground stakes came out to 4.07lbs on my digital scale. Again, a little heavier than some, but lighter than many. 4 lbs truly is not bad at all for having everything you need for a full setup.
Update: Still the best tent I have owned. I have used this now on two backpacking trips, one in Colorado and one in Kentucky. Both times we ran into storms and it kept us and our gear dry! Super easy to set up, break down, and the stuff sack is great (immensely important after a long day on the trail). Also this tent will fit two adults. My friend and I (both around 6 feet and 230 lbs) Confirmed this on our recent trip to Colorado in high altitude, where we wanted to spit the weight of one tent instead of two. It's tight, but doable. Also, condensation is just something that every tent is going to have, especially with two people in this tent. If you are expecting not to have any (very small amount in this tent as I have experienced) well good luck to you!!!

Things I Like:
-Light, really light for all the room. Packs small too.
-Roomy: I can sit-up and not have my head hit the fly and my feet/head don't hit the ends either. I'm 6'2" and it is long enough and tall enough. I use it primarily as a 1-person tent, but it can fit 2-real adults if you want/need to.
-Easy Setup: Love that the fly and tent have color matching tabs. How many times have you had to spin your fly around trying to figure out which end is which with other tents? Easy as pie here.
-Warm and Cool: I've been cozy in sub-freezing and cool in hot weather. The fly gives you lots of options. I've not used the fly and footprint alone yet, but I've set it up that way and it's easy. I've just been chicken to pack only the fly and footprint.
-I love the Mudmats. They tie into the corners of the tent with margin under it and keep the vestibule clean. Makes entering the tent on your knees a dry/clean event. Keeps pack out of the muck on rainy days. Highly recommended.
-Yup. It looks cool in person too.
-Durable so far. Yes these are lightweight fabrics, but if you take care of them....
Things I don't like:
Nothing. It is expensive, but you get what you pay for. This is a superior tent that doesn't require trade-offs.
Summary - this is the 4th tent in my stable and definitely my favorite I have a 1-man that isn't free-standing. Yes it's light and packs in a gnat's bum, but I have to shelter my pack somewhere else and it doesn't have much more room than my sleeping bag. I have a 3-man that has been everywhere. It's a wonderful 2-person tent, but my son uses that all the time. It is looking for it's second trip to Philmont in 2018. I also have an old Eureka Octagon 11. Super car camping tent if you have a bunch of folks, but that's not a useful comparison.
Top reviews from other countries
Ne prend pas beaucoup de place, très légère, et se monte vraiment très facilement et rapidement.
Seul point négatif, la toile extérieur qui doit être mise en dernier, laissant l'intérieur de la tente mouillé lorsqu'on la monte sous la pluie. De plus, les écarts entre le sol et la toile extérieure au niveau des auvents ne permettent pas de garder un sac stocké hors de la toile intérieur au sec en cas de pluie.
L'intérieur de la tente est spacieux, même avec un gros sac et beaucoup de matériel.
Pour prolonger sa longévité, je recommande d'utiliser un tapis de sol de la même marque.
It's a three season tent. The fly sheet leaves a fairly large gap at the bottom, which really helps cut down condensation, especially if there is a breeze. Otherwise there are plenty of venting options.
It kept me alive in a snow storm in the Pyrenees, but I did have to pile snow around the base of the fly sheet to keep the warmth in. It stands up to wind well also.
If you're looking for ultra light, look elsewhere. It's not too heavy though, and for the extra weight you get bags of headroom, and plenty of space to spread out, especially if you're not sharing.
I really like how bright the tent is inside. It's a great place to hang out at the end of a long day on the trail.
Auch bei der hellen Farbe grau des Zelts war alles perfekt dunkel zum Schlafen.
