    The MSR Hubba 1P tent is a freestanding solo tent that remains one of the best options for all-around backpacking performance. At just under 3 lbs. it won't weigh you down.

    • Compact and eminently packable—for everything from trekking to ultralight backcountry adventures—the sturdy Hubba 1P shelter boasts ample living space
    • Configured to maximize the tent's interior space, the hubbed pole system is strong and light, and setup is fast and easy
    • Vertical end panels keep the tent end from hitting the footbox of sleeping bag—even for tall campers
    • Rainfly and floor fabrics balance weight and durability; you get a long-lasting, high performing tent that won't weigh you down
    • High-tech ripstop nylon rainfly reduces weight and the silicon and polyurethane coating increases durability and resistance to damaging UV rays
    • Full-size vestibule and large D-shape door provides ample space for sitting up and moving around; you also have room for gear storage and a covered work area
    • Stay-dry entry ensures water won't drip into the tent when door is opened for ventilation in rainy weather
    • New green rainfly and grey floor blend in well with nature; silent zipper pulls won't keep you up on windy nights
    • Mesh canopy offers excellent ventilation in warm climates and the dark color is easy to see through with little or no distortion
    • Pockets at each end of tent help keep small items organized; hang loops inside tent provide points to hang your headlamp or damp clothes
    • Rainfly rolls back halfway for a great view on starry nights and quickly rolls down if clouds move in
    • Vestibule can be rolled back in either direction for maximum ventilation or, in strong rainstorms, can be left open at the bottom to facilitate ventilation
    • Sized for a full-grown adult with 17 sq. ft. of floor space; 2 people can sit inside and play cards while waiting out storms or avoiding pesky bugs during social hour
    • Attention to detail shows in the taped seams, reinforced stress points, ultralight stake loops and user-friendly door toggles
    • Save weight and create a minimalist shelter by using just the rainfly, footprint (sold separately), poles and stakes
    • Includes stuff sacks, J-stakes and guyline/tighteners
    • Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only

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

      Comments about MSR Hubba 1P Tent:

      First time I set this up in the backyard I did it with one hand. Not intentionally... I was eating a burrito. Yum! Not as yummy as the light weight compact tent though. I pack the poles on the outside of my pack and compress the fly and inner. Tiny! Light weight and ready to shelter me anywhere. Sweetness.

      Comments about MSR Hubba 1P Tent:

      A fantastic lightweight option.
      Great for lightweight travel.
      I have used the Hubba a lot in "3 season" conditions - above 1200m, windy, potential for snow, lots of rain - tent performed very well. Also this tent excells in lightweight trips where really bad weather is unlikely.

      Pros - Easy to setup, lightweight, footprint (extra purchase) fits inside supplied stuff sack. - All great. I find it actually quite roomy for the weight and intended use, and I am 6ft tall. You can sit up in it comfortably (double thumbs up). If you are going light you will find the vestibule adequate but not huge.

      Cons - The tent has a lot of mesh - consider carefully if you intend on using it in winter or in cool conditions, it is quite breezy.

      NOT supplied with any guy lines - you have to purchase these yourself afterwards. Or pegs for the 3 guy lines. In a small tent guy lines are essential for proper ventilation, waterproofing (guy attachments are sewn in on each end, so obviously MSR want you to guy it out!) and withstanding windy conditions.

      There is NOT any reflective ANYTHING on this tent (green version). Again you have to go and purchase reflective tape/cord yourself. Advertised as a 3 season tent (think poor visibility) and I would have expected to see guy lines and pegs supplied, with the guy lines being made from reflective cord.

      NO repair kit supplied.

      Now some may say I am nit picking here but I find these couple things very frustrating - especially when this tent is not cheap! No repair kit goes against MSRs philosophy of shipping with the items you need to do field repairs (like they do with their stoves).

      At the price point these few cons should be included as standard.

        Comments about MSR Hubba 1P Tent:

        I have been looking for a side-entry, freestanding, not orange/yellow/red, 1p, ~3lbs, backpacking tent for a tallish (6'2") person for months. I kept coming back to the Big Agnes products (Copper Spur, Fly Creek, etc.) for 2 people (to fit me)... and also considered REI (why not make the T1 in "plus?"), and others. Thank god I went into the store a few times [...]I never even would have looked at the Hubba since its stated length is only 86". As it turns out, Big Agnes measures from grommet to grommet, which adds a solid 4" to that measurement, and I also hadn't considered how some tent (mostly dome tents) slant inward more than others from the floor. The Hubba has these little expansion bars on the ends of the main poles, and the wall of the tent goes almost straight up from the floor. That means less touching of the bag (or my head) to the walls. So, to the review... I've only spent 3 nights in this thing, so take this for what it's worth... but I loved it. AMAZINGLY easy to set up, well designed, plenty light, PLENTY of head room, the thing is green... which I like, stood up to some wind, minimal condensation (though have not been in it in the rain yet), nice quiet zippers and a big door to get in and out of... all great qualities. The vestibule is not huge, but I could definitely get my gear / hang out under there in a pinch, and I like how it can be set up to "face" either direction. At my height with a full pad (that is another story), it's definitely snug... but I fit, can roll over, have a pocket for my flashlight by my head, and can sit up. That's all I ask. The interior of this one is all net except for a little "tub", so assuming condensation won't be too bad. A couple little cons... I still would love a long version, or just a tent like this that has another 2 inches or so on it. Reflective lines would have been nice (though I like being stealth I guess), and the poles break down in an awkward (long) way to pack. Overall... though results are early, this tent it looking good as my backpacking tent for many years. Stoked.

          Over time I have changed to a semi minimalist backpacker but have a difficult time finding freeze dried cajun food.

          This is one of the most satisfying tents I've owned.

            Used this tent for 10 days in New Mexico, everthing from heat, hail, wind and rain, the tent performed outstanding. At 6'3" 230lbs, I had plenty of room (for a one person tent that is). The only reason I did not score it a 5 of 5, is (after using it for 2 years), the underside of the fly became "tacky" to the touch and unusable, but MSR sent a replacement fly no charge.

              The Hubba is a great tent only made better by the new color. I use this tent for backpacking and love how easy it is to set up. This style of tent with the side vestibule makes it not seem as cramped inside as an end vestibule tent.

                Comments about MSR Hubba 1P Tent:

                This new green version looks great! The first time I set it up (in my living room), it took me about 15 minutes to figure out the pole configuration. Now, 2-3 minutes out of the pack and it's done. Very light, durable material. I just wish that MSR had the vestibule extension in orange. Without it, it's a little tricky trying to figure out how to make everything fit underneath as there isn't a heck of a lot of room. But, it's a 3-pound tent so I guess you can't expect a foyer and a walk-in closet. Still, I've used this tent MANY times from backpacking to festivals and it's always served me well!

                    Good, solid tent. Worth buying if you can find it on sale. Had ample room for myself and clothes/top cover for my pack at the foot. Great to carry in a pack, and easy to set up. The small footprint makes the most of small campsites. The tent held up to steady rain all night long. It collected enough condensation to make outside of my sleeping bag damp in the morning, but to be fair - I spent the better part of the night in steady rain and/or a cloud, so I expected that.

                    Two small suggestions for improvement: 1) The bag holds 6 stakes, but there are 7 logical stake out places, and; 2) The fly design could be improved with the addition of guy-out attachments on the side of the tent to create more space/improve ventilation.

                    Overall, very pleased with the tent.

                      Comments about MSR Hubba 1P Tent:

                      Great complement to my eno hammock when there are no trees. Is it worth the money?..... I own the footprint as well?......I don't quite know yet. I've used it with the tent and with just the footprint and fly, you save weight and space but are now susceptible to bugs. I'm a tree trunk so I'm 5'7 175 fairly decent shape, wide shoulders and its a tight squeeze:) Perfect for me but I feel sorry for any big fella! Great for solo women.
