Tents
MSR Hubba Hubba NX 2
Best for: backpackers who camp in variable weather and want proven storm performance
MSR's reputation for building tents that hold up in genuinely bad weather is the throughline in Hubba Hubba owner reviews — the pole geometry and guy-out points get specific praise from reviewers who have used it through real wind and rain rather than fair-weather trips. It gives up a small amount of interior volume to the Big Agnes Copper Spur in side-by-side owner comparisons, but reviewers who prioritize confidence in a storm consistently rate it above tents that are roomier but less tested in rough conditions.
Pros
- Storm performance is the most consistently praised trait, from reviewers who have used it in real wind and rain
- Color-coded pole and clip system rated among the fastest and least error-prone to pitch
- Durable enough per long-term owners to justify buying once rather than replacing after a few seasons
Cons
- Slightly less interior volume than the Big Agnes Copper Spur at a similar weight, per direct owner comparisons
- Single door on some configurations is a repeated complaint for two-person trips
- Premium price for the durability and storm rating it delivers
