Rain fly zipper track ripped and separated from fabric on first use. For the price, I’d stay away.

Used it on a beach
1 month ago
Used it on a beach bike packing trip on the northern California coast totally awesome. so easy to set up. Had to move the tent a couple of times because we didn’t know what the tide tables were. thought we were gonna get flooded, never happened but nonetheless tent was super easy to pick up and move around while we were worrying about that. I slept well in it. used it up in the Trinity Alps last week also super nice.

A True 2 Person Backpacking Tent
6 months ago
This tent is very easy to set up, very lightweight and packable, and INCREDIBLY spacious for the size/weight it packs down to. This tent has more room inside than any free-standing tent for the same weight. The tent is equipped with more than enough pockets at the head, foot, and ceiling, a built-in guideline inside the tent to hang your wet socks and shirts safely. The tent easily easily fits two people comfortably (not the case with most "2-person UL backpacking tents"). You can fit 2 wide long pads inside with no issues and can sleep head to toe if desired since the tent is symmetrical. The vesitbules are also huge on this tent so gear storage is not a problem. There are large vents on both sides of the tent for great ventilation. The rainfly seems very lightweight, and I do have questions about its durability/rain resistance in heavy wind/rain (the tent does have a large wind profile), but I have not encountered those conditions yet. Setup and takedown are not difficult, and the new metal poles and grommets seem quite sturdy. Natural lighting inside the tent is also great. So far, I am nothing but pleased with the tent.

Great roomy tent
6 months ago
The tent is lightweight, easy to set-up, roomy and good ventilation. I really like a the way the tent walls are more straight providing more room horizontal and head room. The way the fly attaches to the tent with the metal clip is brilliant and so much better than clipping into the tent.

A roomy tent that is versatile enough to be the roomy 1 person tent or comfortable 2 person tent. The zippers work effectively. The attachments to the pole are metal instead of plastic. Overall, the tent feels high quality in material and experience.

Gorgeous tent, very flawed zippers.
4 weeks ago
I've used this once and withing 2 days each diagonal zipper started catching a couple inches from closure (you have to reach inside and use that tab to get a smooth closure). The material underneath where it's catching is fraying or pulling apart as well, which I'm guessing is the cause. I get that this is UL and not nearly as robust, but these zippers are nearing failure right out of the bag. And we just had this setup without the fly and within a leanto so hardly pushing it to the max. Dissappointing as it's a beautiful (and expensive!) tent. I absolutely love the huge pockets at each end of the tent.

Will give 5 stars and back it up with my "whys" below but plan to update the review after a summer of usage. The new hubba LT has struck some major balances in subtle design and function upgrades and I cannot wait to see how these perform. Some product decisions seem to be driven by cost/margin or product label stats. As a long-time owner, advocate, and frequent user of my MSR Hubbas (2007 Hubba Hubba 2p and 2021 Hubba NX1), I have both massive excitement and minor concerns about my new shelter. Optimistic - Long overdue proper rain fly ventilation: yep, vents are on both front and back; pair them with the front/back stakeout points at the middle of the fly and you’ve got a recipe for less condensation - Pole choice: 9.3mm Dac Featherlight NFL poles offer a better strength to weight ratio than the 9mm NSLs on my ’07 model. o My ’07 Hubba has gotten me through some nasty storms over the years and I was never concerned about a snap or losing structural integrity. On paper, I’m a fan of this design choice o Note: I am a huge fan of the 9.3mm Easton cyclone’s on my NX1...bombproof - More pockets: my ’07 model literally has one small pocket…we’ve upgraded significantly here - Zip me up: It feels like MSR finally heard the masses and came with an elegant solution. On first pitch, these worked as intended and I don’t mind having to make “2-zips”, considering I can do both with one hand - Mesh me out: I’ve looked at many Hubba iterations since 2007 and was not always a fan of the amount of nylon utilized in later models. The extended nylon “bathtub” on the side walls of the LT will prove useful when the wind tries to push sand under the fly and into my face o The ’07 is very meshy like the LT, so I think MSR nailed this! - Rainfly connector hardware: I dig on this in theory as it makes for an easier way to connect/disconnect the fly to the tent body - WEIGHT a minute: granted, we're talking versus 2007 tent technology, but this model is a full 15.2oz lighter with all of the other upgrades noted here...nice - Integrated clothesline: super thoughtful and interested to see how if functions. If I don’t like it, the string will be clipped and go towards (see next bullet and corresponding “con”) - MSR Groundhog stakes! Explanation not required…this is great (however see my "margin" comment below) Pessimistic - Rain fly ventilation: let me repeat, I LOVE the vents. It is, however, unclear how well the Velcro tab that “seals off” the vent will hold when attempting to stake out the fly using the ground level loop - Rain fly zip design: I am not a superfan of the bottom corner access to zip the fly open. I understand the “stay dry" aspect but there has to be a better way to open/close the fly without having to reach to the far back corner of the tent body - Squeezing out the margin (ok, a bit nit picky): the amazing tent stakes do not come with pull cords (that I use ALL the time), nor does MSR include a length of string to DIY it… o I get that there’s labor cost in tying off the tiniest length of string on thousands of tent stakes, but at the pennies/yard MSR pays for the string, hook me up with 2ft of it for the $550 price tag on this castle - Rainfly gap to the ground: on first pitch, I noticed the fly is well short of covering the full base of the tent…this will likely change over time but the gap is significant o Pro > more ventilation when staked out (thanks for the string there, btw) o Con > sure the nylon tent base has DWR coated nylon, but I’d prefer for it to just not get wet. water infiltration is possible o Verdict > the jury is out on this one...will update review once regular use ensues

Awesome tent! It’s what I would call stupid simple. So much so that I thought there was no way possible I could’ve set it up so fast.
