The Mutha of all Hubbas, this one from MSR gives 3 campers enough space to cohabitate without feeling claustrophobic.

  • Configured to maximize the tent's interior space, the swivel-hub pole system is strong, light and easy to set up
  • Large vestibules provide dry entry and gear storage, and still leave room for a covered sitting area
  • Dry-entry design ensures water won't drip into the tent when doors are opened for ventilation in rainy weather
  • High-tech ripstop nylon rainfly reduces weight while the silicon/polyurethane coating increases durability and resistance to damaging UV rays
  • Attention to detail shows in the taped seams, reinforced stress points, ultralight stake loops, reflective guy cords and user-friendly door toggles
  • Save weight and create a minimalist shelter by using just the rainfly, poles and footprint (sold separately)
  • Comes with Ultralight needle stakes, guylines/tensioners and stuff sacks
  • Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only

Please note: MSR products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

Imported.

        Comments about MSR Mutha Hubba Tent:

        This is a luxurious and roomy backpacking tent for two, or reasonable for 3. We fit a queen size air matress in it for car camping (just the right size). We find it very easy to put up and take down. The walls run very straight which makes it easy to use all the floor space, and the pockets are well placed. If I could change anything....I wouldn't.

          This tent is great. MSR has done it again! An outstanding combination of low weight, outstanding sturdiness, and size! Big huge doors, height, and storage pockets make this tent an A+, Valedictorian, Phi Beta Kappa, Playmate of the Year, Oscar winning, must have!

            Comments about MSR Mutha Hubba Tent:

            My wife and I purchased this tent with the idea of sleeping in something that would be comfortable for two, have the capacity for three, and perform well in adverse conditions.

            This tent works well for TALL campers due to the fact that the vestibules are at your head and feet, allowing you to push on the tent body while stretching out without worrying about touching the fly. I'm 6' 2" and one of my backpacking friends is at least 3 inches taller than me and we felt comfortable with the dimensions even with three people.

            The Mutha Hubba pitches taut with an adjustable fly that never touches the tent body nor flaps in the wind. We witnessed it's strength while camping in the grasslands of North Dakota. There we experienced strong winds in the wide open terrain along with heavy rains from thunderstorms that lasted all night. We used the optional footprint and never had any moisture inside the tent, in fact I thought that the winds had calmed until I stepped outside, I then realized just how sturdy the Mutha Hubba really was.

              Comments about MSR Mutha Hubba Tent:

              This tent housed me in about 10-12 camping situations across the country on a 2 month period and is ready for more. I am a first time camper, so the ease of use was paramount for this tent! It kept me warm and dry in the Badlands during a downpour and cool and bug free in New Mexico. I also camped on the Outer Banks in North Carolina, where the winds got up to 20-30mph which led me to use my guy wires for the first time. I also just used the included stakes, which worked fine in the beach sand. I felt bad when the family next to me had their tent shredded to bits in the wind, but secretly happy that I splurged on this amazing tent.
