The MSR Mutha Hubba tent has all the same features of the popular MSR Hubba Hubba tent. But this one delivers maximum livablitly for 3.

It's the ideal tent for a minimalist trip backpacking deep into the Sierra's in the heat of summer or tackling the Appalachian Trail for an extended trip in the spring
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 your 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
2 doors and 2 vestibules give each person easy access and personal gear storage
Stay-dry entries ensure water won't drip into the tent when door is opened for ventilation in rainy weather
Green rainfly and gray 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
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

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

Comments about MSR Mutha Hubba Tent:

My original Mutha Hubba rain fly turned to goo while in its storage container so I returned it to MSR at their direction to be replaced. (They knew the original rain fly had a defective coating.) The replacement fly arrived and I tossed it in a new storage container where it lived for several months before it was packed for a two week trip to southern Arizona. The first time I pitched the fly I started cussing a blue streak. The new fly did not have vents like the original. After I returned from the trip I contacted MSR, being somewhat cranky about the missing vents. They told me they did not include the vents on the new fly because they wanted to save weight and they didn't think the vents did much to help keep condensation down. Really? Obviously, they had not spent much time in either iteration of the tent. I can assure them that the vents make a world of difference. If you want to look at the additional weight of the vents as a percent of the total weight of the tent, I don't think anybody would notice. I assume the real reason for not including vents in the new fly was to cut cost while charging the same for the tent. I spent months in the tent with vents and two weeks in the tent without vents and I can state with certitude that MSR turned a great tent into just another good tent. The woods are full of "good" tents. If I were in the market for another four man tent, I would buy a Big Agnes Copper Spur UL4. Lighter and still has one of those incredibly heavy vents. I do own a Big Agnes Copper Spur UL1 and love the fact that it also has one of those heavy vents. Very disappointed in MSR. Just watched their video on condensation. To paraphrase the video, the best way to reduce condensation is to increase ventilation inside the tent. Removing the vents from the fly looks like a great way to increase ventilation.

Comments about MSR Mutha Hubba Tent:

This is my third tent and my first superduper one with a pricetag to match. Being on the tall side and mostly adventuring solo, I wanted a tent with sufficient headroom that I was only able to find in a 3person. Of course this tent is palatial for just myself.

I'm writing this review after reading the prior reviews stating the first version with the orange rainfly has had problems with the rainfly deteriorating. I have the second version tent with the YELLOW rainfly, and have spent roughly 30+ nights in it without a single problem.

This tent has worked superbly for me without any of the problems associated with the orange rainfly that others have had.

Comments about MSR Mutha Hubba Tent:

My son and I have used this tent on backpacking trips over the last 3 years to Glacier NP, Bob Marshall Wilderness, and the Wind River Range. We have never had a single problem with this tent. We have always got rained on the first night,but we stayed dry as a stale cracker in the tent.

When backpacking, you want equipment that you don't have to devote special attention to, and this tent fits the bill.

Comments about MSR Mutha Hubba Tent:

I have used this tent since 2006.(old orange one) I wanted the hubbahubba but I got this one on sale for less.
I am 6'4" 220# and so was my tent mate we had no problem fitting into this with extra gear space in the middle for comfort.

setting up takes a bit of getting use to, tabs are color coded so you get the right color pole in the right place.

I had the fly turn to sticky goo. I contacted MSR and they sent a new one to replace the old. took 3 weeks but i did it during the off season. I was not out any money for the trade. new cover is not orange but, it works.

I have had this on many Boy Scout pack trips longer than a week but I trade comfort for weight. well worth the purchase but I still like the hubba hubba for its single pole simplicity.

Comments about MSR Mutha Hubba Tent:

I have the older version (orange fly) of this tent, which I am about to (hopefully)return. I really liked it, as it had a good weight/space ratio, was easy to set up, had relatively high walls/good headroom, and fit my 6'3" frame well. But....after a trip in Hawaii, where I was caught in a few torrential downpours, I woke in an inch of water on several nights, which is unacceptable for a tent that has only been used several times. At one point, I watched water coming through on multiple points of the rainfly. From reading other posts, I am not alone--hopefully MSR has fixed this issue on their new edition.

Comments about MSR Mutha Hubba Tent:

This was a great tent for a 10 day wilderness canoe trip three years ago in Canada in June when it seemed to rain almost the entire time. Kept my brother and me dry and comfortable, even in heavy rain and driving winds coming off some of the big lakes. Very roomy for two six foot guys. The last couple of years I've been using a four-man tent for the canoe trip, so the Mutha Hubba was in storage. I keep my tents and equipment in a room with a dehumidifier. When I took the Mutha Hubba out for a three day hike in the NC mountains a few weeks ago, I discovered that the polyurethane on the fly was sticking together and the seam seal tape was deteriorating--what MSR calls hydrolysis. The fly is saggy, and water leaked into the tent when it rained on us one evening. The tent is four years old and only has 15 nights out on it. I'm fastidious with my gear. It was never put up wet or stored in damp conditions. I would have expected the life of the tent to be longer. I see on the MSR website that they claim to have a more durable polyurethane on the current version of the tent (I have the old burnt orange fly). I certainly hope so. I would give the tent five stars for canoe camping except for the durability of the polyurethane coating on my version of the tent.

Comments about MSR Mutha Hubba Tent:

I have used the Mutha 5 times now, I am so impressed with its construction, ease of use, packability and roominess. We slept 3 big guys in it and no problems. It goes from airy bug shelter to driven rain shelter in a minute, very sturdy. the 2 vestibules are big enough to stash packs, dirty boots and wet gear so they don't have to go inside the tent proper. The 2 side pockets are huge as are the 2 easy opening doors at either end.

The only small con is that when its battened down with 3 people in it, the condensation builds up, so keep the flap a little open.
