GEAR PICK OF THE WEEK

MSR Hubba Hubba 2

The long-time crowd favorite MSR Hubba Hubba 2 tent has had a makeover, and there’s a lot to love about this newest iteration. Some of the most noticeable changes include a significantly lower weight, an updated color scheme that meshes nicely with natural surroundings, and a reimagined ventilation design.

The symmetrical layout and near vertical sidewalls on the Hubba Hubba provide a good amount of interior space for two hikers to sit up and hang out. And the freestanding design is incredibly easy to set up.

The Hubba Hubba ranks squarely among the best backpacking tents for dependable protection and comfort. Check out our full review of the MSR Hubba Hubba here.
