Een geweldige tent de Hubba Hubba HD 2p, lichtgewicht, regenbestendig en lekker snel opgezet. Voor mijn trip naar de Noordkaap was hij warm genoeg. Helaas is er wel een groot minpunt de tent is niet windbestendig, zoals bleek toen s’ nachts de wind draaide. Het kostte me 1 kapotte tentstok en 2 flink verbogen stokken. Dit had ik wel verwacht op basis van reviews en specs.
First off, I returned my first HD-2 this week due to one of the zippers blew out. MSR states the zipper design as a "plus" but mine got caught up pulling it, the tent got very taught, so I pulled hard thinking it would release and it just corrupted the zipper lining and it was a critical fail. I got through two trips with it, but it just kept getting worse. BUT...I really like everything else about the tent - the interior organization and I keep a temperature gauge in the tent and HD DOES retain/minimize heat lose in cold weather. I camped in 33 degrees outside and in temperature inside the tent rose to about 5 degrees once I settled in for the night. That is why I returned and upgraded to the HD-3 person but I'm watching the zippers now and paying attention not to "yank" too hard.
Love this tent. Already owned a 3 person but now that the kiddo is 16 we can lighten up a bit. Quick and easy to pitch, innovative pole design provides excellent interior height and the gear pockets provide ample storage. Hasn't seen the rain yet so I'm keeping my fingers crossed it performs at least somewhat as well as our old PFAS rain fly. There isn't a ton of mesh/ventilation but if pitched so the wind flows through condensation is no problem.
I found the HH2 HD to be an awesome tent for my recent trip to Iceland !! It was easy to set up and broke the wind extremely well on the Laugavegur Trail !! It very durable , easy to use and had lots of pockets…. Being able to enter from both sides was extremely convenient !! I would highly recommend this tent and will accompany me on several other adventures of this I’m sure !!
Love it! Perfect for my 6’5 husband and I. I love that we both have an entrance/exit with space for outside storage. So much storage and a nice high ceiling.
