Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have owned this tent for three years, and I love it.I have taken it out on about 15 trips from New Mexican Summers to Ohio Winters.It is listed as a three season tent, but it will hold up in anything.The pole design is extremely simple with only one system.It is very easy to set up when using the foot print.Everything just clips into the ends of the poles.It also has numerous connection points for additional tie downs.There is enough room for two grown men, or one and a pack.After using the tent, I can't suggest anything else.

Backpacker, the MSR Hubba Hubba tent takes livability to the extreme without compromising elbow room or durability. The two-person tent is ideal for backpacking, as its ultra-light frame weighs just under 4 pounds. At the same time, the tent's unique pole configuration offers plenty of interior space, with a generously sized main cabin, two stay-dry entrances, and two large vestibules for gear storage and food prep. Plus, it's quick and easy to set up after a long day on the trail, with an all-in-one hub-and-swivel pole design that's stronger than ever. Construction details include a polyester or silicon-coated nylon fabric that's durable, waterproof, and UV-resistant; full-featured detailing with bound and seam-taped floors and flies, reinforced stress points, ultra-light stake loops, and user-friendly door toggles; and virtually unbendable Needle stakes that weigh only 0.35 ounces. The Hubba Hubba tent--which can be used as a double-wall tent for full protection or in two freestanding tarp-shelter modes when used with an optional footprint (sold separately)--measures 84 by 40 by 50 inches (W x H x D) and carries a lifetime warranty.

Amazon.com Tent Guide Selecting a Tent Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Expect the Worst In general, it's wise to choose a tent that's designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you'll face. For instance, if you're a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all purpose tent will likely do the trick--especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in! If you're a backpacker, alpine climber or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you'll want to take something designed to handle more adversity.
Three- and Four-Season Tents For summer, early fall and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain-fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are more specifically designed for summer backpacking and other activities. Many premium tents will feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain-fly for enhanced waterproofness.
For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive.
Domes and Tunnels Tents are broadly categorized into two types, freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and those that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floor-plan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being more lightweight. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome.
Size Matters Ask yourself how many people you'd like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you're a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don't need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters.
Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is also available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it's easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It's also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you're considering.
