Stop compromising between comfort and weight. Redesigned and lighter than ever, the best-selling 3-season Hubba Hubba is one of the most livable backpacking tents available.
The Inside: You will love the generous 40 inches (1.01 m) of headroom and the true rectangular floor (no taper) that is spacious enough for all your gear. The tent body is a blend of mesh and solid fabric that provides airflow, privacy and weather protection. No-curve tent doors feature zippers that are easy to use with one hand. They also zip closed to a single point so you always know where to open the door, even in the dark. New tech-friendly pockets feature cable ports at the corners for headphone and charging cords. Overhead gear loft pockets are perfect for headlamps, sunglasses and other quick-access items.
The Outside: The symmetrical tent design means you can set up the Hubba faster than you thought possible, particularly handy for those unexpected rainstorms. Virtually unbreakable Easton® Syclone™ poles, a DuraShield™ waterproof coating and taped seams keep the Hubba stable and dry so you can ride out the weather in comfort. The rainfly features large vestibules for storing any gear you don’t want inside. Easy in-and-out vestibule doors feature StayDry™ rain gutters to keep running water off you and your gear, while kickstand vents maximize airflow.
The Bottom Line: Truly a quiver-killer thanks to its legendary lightweight livability, the Hubba Hubba 2 will be the only tent you reach for on all your 3-season backpacking adventures.

This tent has withstood 120 kmh prairie windstorms, hail, heavy rain, and every kind of storm the Rockies can throw at you in the summer. For its weight and size, it’s tough and reliable. Only quibble is that, after a few years of use, the cords on the tentpoles are losing their elasticity. It doesn’t make them useless, but it means that setup takes longer, since you’re having to shove 10 or 12 “ of cord inside the pole. For $500+, you’d expect longer life from a fundamental component like that.
