TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.msr hubba hubba?

1: yes
2: no, don't think so. The Hubba^2 has a massive space:weight ratio, hard to beat. That's not to say that it is the perfect tent, but space:weight it is tops at.

Hi Jay,
The Tarptents by Henry Shires are worth a look, I just brought the Contrail 695g US$200, It has good reviews, it has not arrived yet so I am unable to give a review, will do soon I hope. Tarptent are just about to bring out a sub 500g 1 person tent.

The MSR Hubba is a great one person tent with lots of room. Weighs 1.5kg.

The Hubba is actually the one man version. The Hubba hubba is the 2 man one. I have a Hubba Hubba and find it quite good. What I like is that you can leave the tent body at home and just use the poles and fly as a type of tarp shelter. You don't need the bug prtection at this time of year.

I've used this tent on a couple of occasions. Loads of room for your gear when by yourself and a comfy two man tent when with a mate.
Soon after I bought it I discovered the Jungle Hammock from http://www.mosquitohammock.com and haven't looked back. I sleep better in my hammock than my own bed. I've used it in near zero temps without a worry as well, as long as you have a decent sleeping mat.

I used the Hubba one man tent with its fly for a month in Tassie last February, loved it. Light, easy set up and take down, and could easily put my pack inside with me at night.

MSR Hubba Hubba's are okay - but i find them fairly pricey - and do believe there is better makes.
Have a good look at the Vaude Hogan Ultralight
Its a small 2 man - better used as a 1 man tent
They retail for I believe $550 compared to the Hubba's at $615.
They have a 3000mm water rating on the fly as opposed to MSR's 1500mm. Both are siliconised.
Hubba Hubba's full packed weight is 2.1kg, Vaude Hogan Ultralight is 1.77kg.
They use a similar pole structure, in that they are both free standing and the Vaude has an all fabric inner, whilst the MSR has a mesh inner.
MSR's big winner is it is slightly bigger and has two vestibules, but I think the Vaude is an excellent choice for its awesome waterproofness for weight ratio!
