Thread: MSR Hubba Hubba 3 - Reviews?

Gday there,

Looking at pottentially purchasing a Msr Hubba Hubba 3 man tent.

Posting on here to see if anyone has any reviews, reccomendations or advice for or against them, or anything similar.

Cheers👍🏼

Kuiu mountain star, would be worth looking at. Wait for a sale.

I had an early one of these for about 5 years great tent for space and nice and sturdy but it did condensate really bad compared to my mates other tents . Maybe I breathe too much but some nights would wake up with it dripping on sleeping bag. It then disinterested in the corners and on all the seams even though I thoroughly dried it out and stored it properly after every use . Went to take it to fiordiland and lucky we spent a Night in ruahines right before we went to fiordiland and discovered it was stuffed. The red floor material all went sticky also . Had it sent away and they supplied me a whole new tent for only $300 even though the tent was past warranty. The new tent I had to seal the seams myself. And it doesn't seem to condensate as bad . Hopefully it lasts longer than the last one .

I have a MSR Freelite and a MSR Elixir (both 2P) and will be selling them soon as they do lots of things well except they are both bad for condensation.
Brought a Macpac Duolight 2P and very impressed with the room, ease to put up and much, much better ventilation and no condensate issues so far.

We had more MSR tents coming back to Bivouac with unhappy customers than any other brand. (We also sold a lot more of them, to be fair)

The condensation issue does seem to be real. The floor hydrostatic rating is also only 1200mm, which isn't much. The Hubba Hubba is reasonably sturdy against wind, but the materials seemed more prone to abrasion/random damage than other brands. You might consider the Mont Moondance - it's big for a 2-person tent and pretty bombproof. If you do go MSR I'd definitely get a footprint.
