Perfect fair weather tent. A liability in the wet.
"I've had this tent 14 years now. It's amazing in nice weather, but it has two big problems in wet weather: 1. The fly doesn't go low enough. As soon as it rains with the slightest wind, your inner gets wet. Both from direct rain and from splashing droplets. And because the tent is small, your sleep system is touching the inner, so your sleep system gets wet. I'm 1. 90m so both my head and feet get wet. Additionally, because the fly is too far above the ground, less vestibule area stays dry, meaning less usable gear space. 2. The fly is too close to the inner, it touches the inner when it's heavy with moisture, so moisture transfers to the inner. Especially on the opposite side to the vestibule. No, this is not a problem with my pitching. I just don't understand why you wouldn't redesign this tent to a) have more fly so that it can be closer to the ground (and if you wanted it higher you could stake it further out), and b) have the fly attach slightly further away from the inner so there's zero chance of the two touching. This would make the tent bombproof. A couple of other small things could be better, like the ease of tying back the fly door. Also the fly's seam sealant started peeling off after about 7 years, though I've not found that the loss affects water proofing. The tent pole doesn't exactly pack down well, it is an ungainly mess in your pack and too long for bikepacking - it's great that MSR has come out with the bikepacking version to rectify this. The groundsheet needs to be made bigger to include the vestibule area. The gear shed could use a redesign as well, it's silly that it's so low. One of the best things about the Hubba Hubba is its height, the last thing I want to be doing is adding something to my tent that makes me have to crawl into it. All in all, this will always be the tent I take out in nice weather, but for wet weather I'm looking for a replacement. I'm done with wet gear. My next tent is going to be fly-first pitching, so the inner doesn't get wet when setting up in the rain."
